Tillandsia
Ah, Tillandsia—aka air plants—the quirky little guys that don’t even need soil! But don’t let that fool you: they still need water, just in their own unique way. Here’s how to keep your Tillandsia thriving.
Watering Tips
Watering is the most important part of air plant care:
- Soak in room-temp water for 20–30 minutes, about once a week.
- Shake off excess water—they must dry within 4 hours to avoid rot.
- Mist in between soakings if your air is dry (esp. in winter).
In humid climates: soaking every 10–14 days may be enough.
light requirements
Loves bright, indirect light—think east or south-facing windows. Avoid prolonged direct sun indoors (they’ll dry out fast). Grow lights work well if you’re low on natural light.
Tips & tricks
Enjoy moderate to high humidity. Ideal temp range: 50–90°F. Don’t let them freeze—cold = death.
info
