We have festive air plants available! Caring for air plants is easy and rewarding! Here’s a simple guide to keep your air plants healthy and thriving:
1. Watering
- Soaking Method: Every 1-2 weeks, soak your air plants in room-temperature water for about 20-30 minutes. Make sure to shake off any excess water afterward.
- Misting: If soaking isn’t feasible, mist your plants 2-3 times a week, especially in dry conditions.
2. Light
- Bright, Indirect Light: Place your air plants in a spot where they receive bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
3. Temperature & Humidity
- Ideal Conditions: Air plants thrive in temperatures between 50°F and 90°F. They enjoy humidity, so placing them in a bathroom or near a kitchen can be beneficial.
4. Air Circulation
- Good Airflow: Ensure your air plants have good airflow around them to prevent mold and rot. Avoid placing them in enclosed containers without ventilation.
5. Fertilizing
- Optional: Use a bromeliad or air plant fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) for extra nutrients.
6. Cleaning
- Dusting: Occasionally rinse your air plants with water to remove dust and debris. This keeps them healthy and looking their best.
7. Signs of Trouble
- Brown Tips: This can indicate underwatering or too much direct sunlight.
- Soft Leaves: If the leaves feel soft or mushy, it might be a sign of overwatering.
With these simple care tips, your air plants will flourish, adding beauty and life to your space!
