    Don’t leave in sunlight for long otherwise ur leaves will burn. When u dry after soaking it, make sure the water falls downwards while air drying to fall down the leaves from the base. U want to soak every 2-3 weeks and mist in between to give it moisture

    With how dry it looks, I would start soaking once every 1-2 weeks for now until it livens up again. Then space it out after it comes back

      I have had an Air Plant in the past, and currently have one now, and the company I purchased it from advised me to water it weekly. I did the same with my previous Air Plant that I had for years. It might be a good idea to check with a website about this, because I’m thinking that your 2 to 3 week interval for watering may be too long for the best health of your Air Plant.

    Check if your air plant is still soft when you gently squeezed. If she's feeling crispy, might be too late for her 😢. I will try soaking her overnight and even a full day, it will not harm her. That way she gets a chance to fully hydrate herself. I live in Arizona with dry heat, I don't mist mine (I honestly don't believe in misting, lol). During Summer time, I water all my air plants every week, and every 2 weeks in colder season. I believe these kinds tolerates more drought, but even so, I water every week along with the "tropical" ones. If you have more humidity in your place, then every 2 weeks watering should be good. But you need to soak them for a minimum of 30 minutes at least, longer is better. Hope that helps. This is Maleficent btw, lol. I think she's almost a year now in my care and she has grown a little. Under grow light for 16 hours.

      If she turns more supple and green she’s alive. At this point I’d soak in warm ish water for an hour or two. After that once a week ish for 20 min
