AIR PLANT CARE

"Air Plants" have this nickname because they get the majority of their nutrients from the air. Their true name is Tillandsia and they come in many various forms!  These low-maintenance plants are the perfect little companions for home, work or school. They require very little up-keep and are a nice green addition to brighten any setting regardless of the season. 

 

  • Every one to two weeks, soak your air plant in room temperature tap water (or rain/pond water if you can find it) for 5-10 minutes.

  • After soaking gently shake excess water from your plant. Turn it upside down and place it on a towel in a bright space. This is very important! Air plants will quickly rot if they are allowed to stand in excess water.

  • Once a week, mist your plant thoroughly, so that the entire surface of the plant is moistened (but not so much that there is water dripping down into the plant).
