My airplant is kind of drying up and turning brown. How do I save it. Should I mist it? If so how often?

Do you soak it every 1-2 weeks. I hate to say generally when they start to go brown, there isn't much to do

Yeah I have always had trouble with airplants. I soak it every once in a while but I will do it more frequently. Thanks!

Just make sure you shake it off and bit so it doesn't stay moist in any crevices
