Help! I’ve had this air plant for about 4 months and when I was watering it last I realized that there was hot glue still on the bulb😭 I removed it and now it’s just struggling. I hope it’s not too late. Any tips or help appreciated!!!

Take it out of the hedgehog! These need sunlight! And make sure to soak it in water when watering. It would be good to add a small amount of fertilizer to the water to make sure it’s getting some nutrients. But only a small amount so you don't burn it. Good luck!

My air plant is thriving at home. I keep it pretty close to the window and every two to three weeks I will soak in water (it’s a bit bigger). I have nutrients in little drop bottles that's I use for my plants in leca and it works great for the air plant too!

Thank you! Should I just put it a clear glass jar instead?

You could! I had mine on a candle holder once haha, they can go anywhere honestly as long as they're getting light. They can even bloom!

If it helps to know, they naturally grow on trees! They're not part of it, but they attach themselves to the trunks of trees very high up.
