How to take care of Tillandsia Cyanea

Sun: Indirect

Air Plants thrive in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some shade but avoid placing them in dimly lit areas for extended periods.

Light: Bright

Place your Air Plant in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight exposure, as it can cause sunburn or damage to the plant.

Water: Every Week

Water your Air Plant by misting it with water 2-3 times a week. Ensure that the plant receives enough moisture without being soaked. Additionally, you can submerge the plant in water for 20-30 minutes every 1-2 weeks, allowing it to absorb moisture.

Humidity: High

Air Plants prefer humid environments. To increase humidity, mist them regularly or place them in a humid location, such as a bathroom or kitchen.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Tillandsia is non-toxic to pets, making it safe to have around cats, dogs, and other animals. However, it's essential to keep an eye on your pets to ensure they don't ingest the plant.

Pro Tip

To ensure optimal health and growth for your Air Plant, consider soaking it in a bowl of water with a small amount of orchid fertilizer once a month. This helps provide essential nutrients that may be lacking in its environment, promoting vibrant foliage and robust growth.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
