More about your plants:
Tillandsia juncea is a flowering air plant native to Central and South America. Like most plants in the Tillandsia (air plant) genus, it is an epiphyte that does not need soil to grow. Instead, it absorbs water and nutrients using specialized cells in the leaves. In indoor cultivation, Tillandsia juncea typically grows up to 20 inches (50 cm) in height. It has a distinctive grass-like look, with thin, long leaves sprouting from a brown, hardened stolon. Tillandsia juncea leaves are usually 4 inches (10 cm), silvery green, and will develop a reddish tint when the plant blooms. A variety of this plant, called Tillandsia juncifolia, produces vivid green leaves. Tillandsia juncea blooms once in its lifetime. The inflorescence is very long, often up to 20 inches (50 cm), with floral bracts that are scaly, overlapping, and reddish in color. The actual flowers are about 1.5 inches (4 cm) long and bloom in shades of pale or dark purple
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
