Tillandsia

the most growth within Tillandsia Ionantha Fuego, a type of air plant. Tillandsia improve the quality of the air around it. Knowing which method of growing them is the quickest can help purify air in the fastest manner possible, which can help people whose homes have poor air quality. While it does not have an extremely large significance, it can be a small step towards having fresher air in people’s homes. The independent variable is the type of material the Tillandsia were mounted on. The types

Spanish moss, Tillandsia usneoides L, is not a moss, but a flowering and fruiting aerial epiphytic bromeliad. It is one of nine Tillandsia species typically living in warm, humid climates on trees or other supporting structures such as fences and power cables (Billings 1904; Garth 1964; Callaway, et al. 2002). This epiphyte is distributed between 38°N and 38°S latitude, up to 3300 meters above sea level (Garth,1964 and Gentry,1987), and is native to Mexico, Central America, South America and the

Spanish moss is a vascular epiphyte that belongs to the genus known as Tillandsia. Epiphytes do not typically harm the tree species that it resides on. Epiphytes such as Spanish moss(TillansiaUaneoides) is not dependent on the tree for nutrients; however, it uses the tree for mechanical support. It produces seeds that are transported by the wind which causes it to be found in various locations; however, spanish moss may not survive living on some tree hosts and be found more frequently on certain

Discussion and Conclusion The hypothesis made at the beginning of this experiment was not supported by the data collected throughout it. While none of the plants showed growth, the plants in the control group showed the least amount of decline. This does not exactly the fit the hypothesis of which plant will grow the most, but the data proves that the other groups showed more of a decline than the control group, making it the best way to grow the plants. As mentioned earlier, the plants in the
