Tillandsia, Tectorum
-

This plant grows without soil.  It absorbs water and nutrients from the air through it's leaves.  This plant is feathery and very light, almost white and covered with trichomes (fine hair like outgrowths).  It naturally reflects sunlight so it needs to be placed in a very sunny spot.  It can go a long time without water, but it will look best with weekly thorough misting.  Very slow growing.
