    Dunk it in room temp/luke warm water for an hour ish about every 7-10 days, after make sure you put it in a well aerated spot so moisture isn’t collecting. I keep mine on a piece of drift wood but they do really well hanging. I fertilize like every 2-3 waterings with liquid fertilizer in the water. medium to high lighting, these do well in my normal house humidity.

      Btw when you say lighting, do you mean only sunlight or do regular indoor lights help too?

      It depends if your overhead lights are leds they can help the plant grow but if they aren’t full spectrum led the plant won’t be able to survive on just the overhead. I have mine under a grow light just because my house is dark

    They are very easy. Like the other comment said, let it sit in a bowl of water for like 15-30 minutes or so every 1 - 2 weeks. After watering I 'flick' and shake it a bit to get water out of it. You don't want water pooling up inside the plant. Mist it every few days to help too.

      Will I need to repot this at some point or do they stay this size?

    You never need to pot an air plant. No soil ever. You can put it anywhere you like. You can place it on your desk if you like. But if you have it in a container like that, it likely won't grow fast so you have time
