Air-plants don't require soil, so hang them in the bathroom to be naturally watered by steam
Perhaps because of the pervasive austerity trend, low-maintenance plants like tillandsia and other air plants (epiphytes) have made a comeback. Since they don’t require soil or a lot of maintenance, air plants are also perfect for city dwellers. I’ve seen a lot of beautiful ways to display air plants in glass vases and mini-terrariums, but taking the plants out to be watered and then rearranging them seems too fussy for me. My solution was to put them in my bathroom (where no other plants will grow) so they are adequately watered by shower steam. Enjoy!

Yes, they love the humidity of the bathroom and the light next to a window, so they work for me in my climate in London...

I guess you'd have to check with the specific species of air plant (epiphyte) you buy, pictured here are three different species, but I'm no plant expert

Hi Eleanor, I'll clarify that in the post. They are air plants and don't need any soil

Do these plants not need soil or anything?
