And there's the problem with common names! The "air ferns" in your link are actually animal exoskeletons - not plants at all. Of course, as they're sea creatures to begin with, they're definitely dead when you buy them in pots out here in the air.

Very strange! This is the first time I've ever heard of a dead, dried animal colony referred to as an "air fern."
