Sorry to hear...I killed so many in my air plant journey. The 7 I have now are going on 3 1/2 years...you can do it, too!

They do seem to be more difficult than you’d imagine. I killed the two I had. My problem was that I would soak them in water and forget to take them out in a reasonable time frame. I decided they aren’t meant for me.

Maybe I’ll do a little more research before I try again! 😂

Omg same! But mine was a lot older lol, airplants are a lot harder than you think!
