Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your live air plant terrarium is surprisingly simple, making it an ideal choice for beginners and experienced plant lovers alike. Air plants (Tillandsia) are epiphytes, meaning they don’t need soil and absorb nutrients and water through their leaves. For optimal growth, place your air plant terrarium kit in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, intense sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as this can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window is often ideal, or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. Good air circulation is also beneficial, so avoid placing it in enclosed, stagnant spaces.

When it comes to watering, the most common method is to soak your air plants. Once a week, remove the air plants from the terrarium and submerge them in a bowl of room-temperature water for 20-30 minutes. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and allow the plants to dry completely on a towel or drying rack before returning them to the terrarium. This prevents rot. In drier climates or during warmer months, you might need to mist your plants a few times a week between soaks. For proper air plant care, ensure the plants are never left sitting in water within the terrarium. Fertilization is not strictly necessary but can encourage growth and blooming. Use a specialized air plant fertilizer diluted to one-quarter strength, once a month during watering, particularly in the spring and summer. Keeping these tips in mind will help your tabletop terrarium thrive.

While air plants are generally resilient, watch for signs of distress. Brown or crispy leaf tips often indicate underwatering, while mushy bases can be a sign of overwatering or insufficient drying after soaking. Regularly check your plants for any pests, though they are uncommon with air plants. Maintaining a consistent watering and light schedule is key to a healthy and vibrant terrarium decor. Remember that each plant is unique and may vary slightly in shape, size, and color from the one pictured, but we guarantee a healthy and happy plant. If you ever have questions about air plant care, don’t hesitate to reach out for assistance.
