Racinaea

Racinaea is a diverse group of epiphytic plants native to Neotropical regions, thriving high in forest canopies. They exhibit a clumping growth habit with slender, often colorful leaves fanning out in rosettes. Adapted to their aerial environment, racinaea's trichome-coated leaves efficiently capture moisture and nutrients from the air, supporting survival in nutrient-poor conditions.
