Why Air Plants Are Popular

Air Plants are admired for their unique, soil-free growing style. They’re perfect for modern homes, offices, and creative displays, offering a low-maintenance way to bring greenery indoors.

Air Plant Care Guide

Light Requirements

Place your Air Plant in bright, indirect light. Near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves.

Watering Needs

Submerge your Air Plant in room-temperature water for 20–30 minutes once a week. Mist between waterings to maintain humidity. Shake off excess water to prevent rot.

Mounting & Display

Air Plants thrive when mounted on driftwood, in glass terrariums, or hanging displays. Ensure good air circulation around the plant.

Temperature & Humidity

Keep Air Plants in warm environments between 50–90°F (10–32°C). They love humidity but can adapt to drier indoor spaces with regular misting.

Fertilization

Feed monthly with a bromeliad or air plant-specific fertilizer diluted in water. Fertilizing encourages growth and blooming.

Propagation Tips

Offsets (Pups)

Air Plants naturally produce "pups" after blooming. Gently separate pups once they reach one-third the size of the parent plant and display them independently.

FAQs

How often should I water my Air Plant?

Soak once a week and mist between waterings, especially in dry climates.

Can I grow Air Plants without soil?

Yes! Air Plants absorb water and nutrients through their leaves, making soil unnecessary.

Why are the tips of my Air Plant turning brown?

Brown tips may indicate underwatering or exposure to dry air. Increase misting or soaking frequency.
