Sky Plant in my Home Garden 18 Sep 2012:<\/a> Tillandsia ionantha<\/i> or Sky Plant<\/b> in flowers at my home garden. This Bromeliaceae<\/i> epiphytic plant grows on cliffs and tree trunks in Mexico. They are also seen growing along electrical conductors running across valleys hence the name Sky Plant. <\/font>Besides moisture they do not need any soil to sustain.<\/font><\/p>\n

A friend of mine is working on ecology and distribution of T. usneoides <\/i>for her doctoral program here.
It’s an interesting group, surprisingly with more than 600 species (TPL).<\/p>\n
