Tillandsia are epiphytes needing no soil because water and nutrients are absorbed through the leaves. The roots are mainly used as anchors. Leaves take on a different leaf colour (usually changing from green to red), called "blushing", when about to flower. This is an indication that the plant flowers once before dying, but offsets around the flowering plant will continue to thrive. Growing in a block of drift wood at my home. They hardly flower, but what a joy when they do!
