More about your plants:

The Tillandsia Ionantha is a beautiful air plant, and is a great first plant if you are new to air plant care. It has colorful leaves that are green on the bottom and pinkish or violet on the top. Fuego can be found across Latin America and one variety also grows only in Mexico. Most air plants are epiphytes, using their root system to attach themselves to a host.  Interestingly enough, they do not use their roots to pull nutrients from their host rather just to anchor themselves. 

These adorable plants feature layers upon layers of the prettiest silvery-green leaves, and an adorable round shape. When the Ionantha blooms, it will have the most beautiful violet flowers, and when in bloom the top of the plant will also turn a brilliant bright red. The flowering cycle on the Ionantha is one of the most beautiful of all of the air plant varieties.

Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) is not a  true moss, but rather an epiphytic flowering plant that often grows upon larger trees in tropical and subtropical climates
