Excited to be a Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra mama!!  
🎍🌱🥰 I got them on Amazon from the “air plant shop” and they came from Guatemala! Two of them are flowering and one of them looks like it might soon! Any tips from the pros?  
I’m kind of nervous since I killed the last air plant I had (left in water when I left the house😅)

I know nothing about air plants but came to say how nice they look! Good luck on your journey :)

Hey!! Just wondering how do u take care of these and can u propagate?

### Hannah commented on 2026-05-26

There was a fun little instruction sheet that came with my order for these guys! It said to fully submerge in lukewarm water (filtered or rainwater is best) for 20 to 30 minutes weekly. Then I have an all natural air plant fertilizer spray that I use weekly as well.  
I’m not sure if you can propagate them, but definitely worth looking in the book of Google 😉
