LeafyGreenhouseTips ! Watering - Don’t mist they like being fully submerged in water except the part on the bottom that is brown (if you do that can cause root rot ) so always turn upside down Sunlight - They like almost any sunlight except direct sunlight (the leafs can get scorched) I have mine in a part shade area just they need to be in some sunlight Pots - I like taking mine out of the pot to get more sunlight on the whole plant they love it ! (Every once in a while ) Food - air plants don’t really need to be fertilized mine do just fine I have never fertilized them but if you do use an air plant specific fertilizer! I have found some from south side plants or Amazon ! That’s it ! If you have any questions feel free to ask ! I have way to many air plants lol

And also make sure to soak for only 5-10 mins as any longer could kill it and yes make sure to shake / dry it off after

ClaireWait wait wait, so they need to be in water of a very specific height?

jlsKenzyOne more thing, after soaking, gently shake and leave "upside down" to dry, otherwise water may collect in the bottom and cause it to rot.

TerrynI have 3 air plants who I will fully submerge once a week for 30mins to an hour at a time. Whatever amount of time I submerge them for, I double the drying time and dry them upside down because the water can pool in their leaves and cause rot. They seem to really like this!

PineappleYou also need to fertilise them. Add feed to the water maybe every 3 weeks at half strength when you submerge them.
