I just ordered new air plants :)  
Yay coming Monday (any tips for caring for them)  
I’ve had them in the past but they’ve all died soaked them in water 1a week for 20 min then hanged upside down to dry ;)

Exciting! One tip that helped me is making sure they dry completely within 4 hours after soaking—if not, they’re at higher risk for rot. I also give mine a bright spot with good air circulation and an occasional mist between soaks if the air is super dry!

20 minutes soak and a good shake afterwards and mine have been good for years.

I soak for 20 mins too, but what really helped was making sure they’re dry within 4 hours. Good airflow = no rot
