What’s a Tillandsia Air Plant?
These plants are called air plants for their ability to live entirely off of nutrients and moisture in the air within their native habitats. Caring for these plants is nearly effortless! Every week you simply soak your air plant in filtered water for 30 minutes. Then, shake the plant of excess moisture and return to the container! Easy peasy!
These would make thoughtful and awesome gift ideas or to set on your desk for easy decor!
I managed to kill one of these. Only plant I’ve ever managed to keep alive long term is a Christmas cactus. And mine blooms all the time!
Same. I killed 2 small ones and one bigger one. I got them from an etsy seller and kept them alive for about 6 months. 😔
I used to kill my air plants too, but I’ve had success with a monthly 3-4 hour soak. Let them dry upside down first before putting them back in their holders. I don’t spritz with water in between soaks, but I also don’t put them where there’s a lot of sun. I assume the more sunlight, the more water they’d need so they don’t dry out.
Do air plants need plant food?
