I recommend following Planta’s care instructions for air plants. I never had air plants before using this app, but the ones I have now are all growing, and one flowers every summer!

They do need regular soaks, sometimes with a bit of fertilizer in the water. Mine live in a west facing window (northern hemisphere), no supplemental light except the overhead kitchen light.

hello, i actually just started taking care of air plants. i'm still learning. i killed 3 recently due to root rot. i think they easily rot if over watered so need to know when to water or not. some also easily dries with too much light. but they are so lovely 🥰
