FAQ’S

Air plants (Tillandsia) are unique, soil-free plants that absorb water and nutrients through their leaves. They grow naturally on trees, rocks, and even telephone wires in tropical environments. They're low-maintenance and incredibly versatile for home decor.

Soak your air plant in room-temperature water for 20–30 minutes once a week. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and place the plant in a spot with good air circulation to dry completely within 4 hours. Occasional misting between soaks is also beneficial.

Description text goes hereWater your plant once a week, or every 5–10 days depending on your climate. In hot, dry environments, you may want to soak them every 5–7 days and mist in between. Overwatering or poor drying conditions are the most common causes of plant stress.

Overwatering—or more commonly, not drying them properly afterward—can cause the base to turn mushy, black, or rot. Always dry them thoroughly (within 4 hours) in a well-ventilated area after soaking.

Signs of dehydration include curled, wrinkled, or soft leaves. Healthy air plants will feel firm and springy after watering. Adjust your watering routine if your plant looks dull, limp, or dry for too long.

Air plants love bright, indirect light—like near a sunny window. A little direct morning or late afternoon sun is okay, but avoid harsh midday light, which can dehydrate the plant. If indoors, fluorescent or LED lights also work well.

Air plants thrive between 50°F and 90°F. They’re happiest in warm, temperate conditions and should be protected from frost or freezing temperatures.

Nope! Air plants are epiphytes, which means they don't require soil to grow. They attach themselves to surfaces using roots for balance—not nutrition—and can be mounted just about anywhere.

Anywhere with good light and airflow! Try windowsills, desktops, hanging displays, terrariums, or mounted on driftwood, cork bark, or crystals. Just make sure they can dry off fully after watering.

Yes! Gently pull away any dried or browning leaves at the base. You can trim dry leaf tips or roots using clean scissors—just snip at an angle to maintain a natural look. Grooming won’t harm your plant.

Yes! Most air plants will bloom once in their lifetime, usually with vibrant flowers. The bloom can last anywhere from a few days to several months. After blooming, they often begin producing pups (baby plants).

Fertilizer isn’t necessary, but a monthly feeding with air plant-safe fertilizer can encourage faster growth, blooming, and pup production. Look for bromeliad or Tillandsia-specific sprays for best results.

No, air plants generally do not attract pests. Since they don’t grow in soil, they’re far less likely to host bugs. Just make sure they dry properly after watering to avoid moisture-related issues like mold or rot.

Yes, but choose a container with open airflow. Closed terrariums trap moisture and can lead to rot. Ensure there's enough ventilation and remove the plant for watering and drying.

Most air plants live 2–5 years, depending on the species and care. With proper light, water, and grooming, your air plant can thrive and produce multiple generations of pups.

No repotting is necessary! Air plants don’t live in pots. You can rearrange or relocate them as you wish—mount them, hang them, or place them in decorative displays without disrupting their growth.

Yes, in climates that stay above 50°F (10°C) year-round. Outdoors, keep them in shaded or partially sunny spots, protected from heavy rain and frost. Bring them indoors if temperatures drop.

You can, but filtered, spring, or rainwater is best. Avoid softened water (contains salts) or distilled water (lacks nutrients). If using tap water, let it sit out for 24 hours to let chlorine dissipate.

This is usually due to underwatering, low humidity, or too much direct sun. Trim the brown tips with scissors if desired, and adjust your watering schedule or location for healthier growth.
