Ball moss, scientifically known as Tillandsia recurvata, is an epiphytic bromeliad commonly found in the southern United States and parts of Mexico. It appears as small, round clumps resembling balls and typically grows on trees, fences, and other structures, often in sunny, dry environments. Unlike parasitic plants, ball moss does not harm its host; it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air. While it is often considered a nuisance by some, it plays a role in the ecosystem by providing habitat and food for various organisms.
The most common air plant is the tillandsia which is a member of the bromeliad family.
