Air Plant, one of the favourite aerophytic indoor plants in flowers with me. This is Tillandsia cyanea of Bromeliaceae. The plants originate from south America where they grow epiphytic in rainy forests and also in deserts. They absorb water and nutrients from air and do not need any soil though they have fibrous roots.

This looks to be Tillandsia stricta rather than Tillandsia cyanea as per
