Since air plants are epiphytes, they don't require soil to thrive. This adaptation allows them to live in high spaces in the upper story of the rainforest that other plants can't get to. Air plants also have trichomes that allow them to absorb their nutrients from the air up in these moisture-rich tree canopies.
