Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Tillandsia air plants is surprisingly simple, making them an excellent choice for beginners and experienced plant parents alike. These fascinating plants thrive with consistent, yet easy, care. For optimal growth, provide them with bright, indirect light. A spot near a window that receives filtered sunlight for several hours a day is ideal. Avoid direct, intense sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as this can scorch their leaves. If natural light is limited, a grow light can provide the necessary illumination.

The key to successful air plant care is proper watering. Since they don’t grow in soil, they absorb water through their leaves. The most effective method is to soak your air plants in a bowl of room-temperature water for about 20-30 minutes once a week. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and allow them to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before returning them to their display. This prevents rot. In drier climates, or if your home is particularly warm, you might need to mist them a few times a week between soaks. Ensure good air circulation around the plants, as this is crucial for their health and preventing fungal issues. Tillandsias prefer temperatures between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and can tolerate a wide range of humidity levels, though they appreciate occasional misting in very dry conditions. Fertilization is generally not required, but a very diluted bromeliad or air plant fertilizer can be used sparingly once a month during warmer growing seasons if desired.
