Air Plants

Air plants (Tillandsia)

  • Origin: Epiphytic natives from the Americas — minimal-soil freeloaders that live on air and vibes.
  • Where I thrive: Bright, indirect light near a window or under grow lighting; avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun.
  • Hydrate: Soak or dunk for 20–30 minutes every 1–2 weeks, then shake off excess and let air dry; mist lightly between soaks in dry homes.
  • Other care instructions: Good airflow is essential; fertilize lightly monthly and avoid sitting in standing water.
