      While aeroponics are cool and interesting as hell, I’m pretty sure this is a bromeliad which are adapted to living on tree branches. They collect and hold water using funnel style leaves, not through aeroponics style root mist.

        Bromeliads are awesome. The whole concept of epiphytes (which many bromeliads are) is cool. They require other plants to survive, but they generally aren’t parasitic.

            Biology is cool. I just wish I wasn’t too stupid to understand all the cellular-level stuff.

        Neat! I just knew that it was possible for plants to grow pretty much anywhere, but now I know about bromeliads.
