People choose an air plant for several reasons, including: 1. Low maintenance: Air plants require minimal care, and do not need soil to grow. They only need to be misted or soaked in water once a week. This makes them perfect for people who do not have a lot of time or space to care for plants, or who struggle to keep plants alive. 2. Decorative: Air plants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be used to create unique and attractive displays in terrariums, vases, or other decorative containers. 3. Air purifying: Air plants are known for their ability to remove toxins from the air. They can help improve air quality in your home or office. 4. Versatile: Air plants can be grown just about anywhere. They are ideal for small spaces, and can be displayed in a variety of ways, such as hanging from the ceiling, on a wall, or in a potted arrangement. 5. Unique: Air plants are sometimes called "living sculptures," because of their unusual shapes and textures. They make a great conversation starter and add a touch of interest to any room.
