Care Instructions for Air Plants (Ordering online, you will receive a random air plant)
Air plants, or Tillandsia, are unique and low-maintenance houseplants that do not require soil to thrive. Here are some key care instructions to ensure your air plants remain healthy:
Watering
Frequency: Water your air plants 1-2 times a week. During hot or dry periods, you may need to increase this to 2-3 times a week.
Method: Soak the plants in room temperature water for about 20-30 minutes. If soaking isn’t possible, mist thoroughly with a spray bottle.
Draining: After soaking, shake off any excess water and place the plants upside down on a towel for several hours to ensure they dry completely. This prevents rot.
Light
Ideal Conditions: Air plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight. They can tolerate some direct sunlight but should be protected from prolonged exposure to harsh rays, which can cause damage.
Temperature and Humidity
Temperature Range: Maintain a temperature between 50°F and 90°F (10°C to 32°C). Avoid exposing them to frost.
Humidity: Air plants thrive in higher humidity. If you live in a dry environment, consider using a humidity tray or regularly misting the plants.
Fertilizing
Frequency: Fertilize air plants once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a bromeliad or air plant-specific fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Grooming
Cleaning: Occasionally, rinse your air plants to remove dust and debris. This helps them absorb water and light effectively.
Pruning: Remove any dead or brown leaves by gently pulling or trimming them away to encourage healthy growth.
Pests and Problems
Pest Management: Inspect your air plants regularly for signs of pests such as mealybugs or aphids. If found, treat with mild insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Rot Prevention: Ensure proper air circulation and avoid leaving plants in standing water to prevent rot.
