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.
