AIR PLANT

LIGHT

Air plants require indirect bright light. Too much light and foliage will dry out too quickly and burn, but too little light will cause a slow decline of the plant. Bright indirect light can be found in places like an eastern window or a few feet back from a southern or western window.

WATER

Every 1-2 weeks, fill a sink or tub with lukewarm water and soak your air plant for 30 minutes. After soaking, lay them upside down on a towel until they are completely dry, this will usually take 1-2 hours but can take longer. It is very important to dry them before putting them back as it prevents rot and mold from occurring. After drying, they can be put back into their home. Soak less frequently in the winter as they go dormant.

HUMIDITY
Air plants prefer a humid environment. Adding a humidifier to their environment will help, or lightly misting them in between waterings will benefit them.

TEMPERATURE
Air plants will do best in temperatures between 60-80°F.

FOOD
During spring and summer, use and air plant sprayor soak in air plant water-dissolvable fertilizer while soak-watering. Use 1-2 times a month.

TOXICITY
Air plants are considered to be non-toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

ADDITIONAL CARE
If your air plant is given correct care, it will eventually bloom. After it blooms, feel free to cut it off with a pair ofplant snips. After some time, you will also see new pups forming off of the mother plant. Eventually, the mother plant will die off. You can separate the pups or leave them as is.
