Wild bromeliads, commonly called airplants, are native to the Everglades and grow throughout the park in various habitats, including cypress forests, hardwood hammocks, and mangrove forests. These plants are epiphytes, meaning they grow on other plants for support and absorb water and nutrients directly from the air and rain, rather than from a host plant.
