The tips of my air plant turned black after soaking yesterday. They were really pink, but now they’re black :(

Did I over water this??

May be too much sun. I’d move it to a slightly darker place, and keep an eye on it, and see if it does worse or doesn’t get better.

I’ve found that air plants get like that if I do the once a week watering thing or if I use any spray fertilizer at all. Now I just mist them twice a day unless the humidity is over 65%, and they’re doing great. Hope this helps. 💚
