During the 18th and 19th centuries, Tillandsia plants were discovered by European explorers and botanists. They were collected and introduced to Europe, where they quickly became popular as exotic houseplants.

Tillandsia plants were prized for their unique appearance and the fact that they require little maintenance. Today, Tillandsia plants are still popular as houseplants and are also used in terrariums and as decorative elements in flower arrangements.
