  Waterfall  
The tumbling tendrils of the Tillandsia usneoides, commonly 
known as Spanish moss, give it the gushing look of a waterfall. It is best appreciated 
placed on a shelf or hung up high from a ceiling so that its leaves can cascade 
gently downwards. In (sub) tropical America, Tillandsias grow on rocks, tree 
trunks and houses, even in places where you won't find a single grain of soil! 
The plant uses its roots only to get a firm grip on the surface where it wants 
to grow; the leaves draw all the moisture and nutrients the plant needs from the 
air. They love to be sprayed with soft water regularly.Fern
