The Doctrine of Signatures
Like all of the air plants, this Tillandsia is quite at home in a dry, airy position and thrives on neglect. Which is a signature of self reliance in the positive and the tendency to neglect oneself in the other. As its name suggests, The Dangling Air Plant cascades in long lengths up to 6 or more feet long and forms clusters of plants. The criss-crossing nature of the plant suggests a ‘tangled, confused’ mass ( of thoughts ) that have no clear origin. This suggests the confusion caused by excessive self focus and getting lost in thought during prolonged periods of inner inspection. On the flip-side, this twisted mass does indeed have no perceivable origin as the plants continue to grow and grow and grow in long lengths that have no real beginning or end – they just keep going and are immeasurable. Just like the human spirit.
