Dendropogon Usneoides

Air plant, scientifically known as Dendropogon usneoides, is a unique species of moss that thrives in moist, shaded environments. This plant is often found clinging to tree trunks and branches, where it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air. Unlike traditional plants, it does not require soil to grow, making it an adaptation to epiphytic life. Its delicate, feather-like appearance makes it a popular choice for terrariums and decorative displays. Despite its small size, the air plant plays an important role in forest ecosystems by contributing to biodiversity and soil formation.
