The Tillandsia Juncea, Also Known as the Needle Leaved Air Plant
The Tillandsia Juncea grows tall, slender leaves in an upright, fountain like shape. Its grassy look sets it apart from the more rounded air plant varieties, and it works well in vertical arrangements, terrariums, or mounted displays.
