Call them the perfect plants for parts of Brooklyn apartments that get no light and for people that want a very low maintenance house plant. Their name is Tillandsia “and are known in general as an epiphyte — something that gets all of its moisture and nutrients from the air (and rain, if it lives outdoors)…In reality, how these green, spiky, unusual plants live and flower on a shelf inside our windowless bathroom — without being potted, or in water — is pure magic.” They’re available at a number of Brooklyn shops.–Brooklyn Based
