    She looks like she’s been overwatered and has started to go. The only thing that might work is to put her in a very sunny spot or under a grow light for 12 hours a day. Make sure there’s a good air flow.Keep an eye on the humidity levels. I never water my air plants, but when the humidity drops below 60%, I mist them twice or more times a week depending on how low it is. I hope she gets better. 💚

    I’ve not been great with air plants either- until the last two I bought from a reputable nursery explained to me what to do and these two have lasted 6 months now (way longer than the others) They advised me to soak (fully submerged) them once a week for 5 minutes Then lay them on a towel for 5 minutes Then put them back in their habitat (I do live in Alaska and our humidity is pretty low)
