Tillandsia is commonly known as air plants because they absorb almost all their moisture and nutrients straight out of the air making them incredibly resilient and almost self-sufficient, besides the occasional need for care.
Perfect for moss walls, moss bowls and other art and craft projects.
The genus Tillandsia belongs to the family Bromeliaceae and is made up of approximately 650 different species of evergreen, perennial flowering epiphytes. In their native environment across northern Mexico, the south-eastern United States, Argentina and the Caribbean, they can grow on almost any surface in the deserts, mountains, woodlands, and tropical rainforests.
There is a diverse range of air plants available with a vast variety of shapes, sizes, and textures that can create pockets of tropical wonder within the home. If well taken care of, as these mysterious plants reach maturity they will reward you with a magnificent bloom of colourful, exotic flowers.
So whether your want to build a terrarium, add to the collection of plants in the bathroom or just get started taking care of your first plant, air plants are the perfect place to start and won’t leave you disappointed.
- How often should I water my air plant, and what is the best method?
- Air plants need to be watered once a week by soaking them in water for about 20-30 minutes. After soaking, shake off any excess water and place them in a bright, airy spot to dry completely.
- Can I keep my air plant in a bathroom without windows?
- Yes, air plants are ideal for bathrooms as they thrive in humid environments and can tolerate low to medium light conditions. However, ensure they receive some indirect light and have good air circulation.
- Are air plants suitable for terrariums and what should I consider when placing them?
- Air plants are perfect for terrariums due to their minimal soil needs and size. When placing them in a terrarium, make sure there is enough space for air circulation and avoid closed terrariums to prevent moisture buildup which can lead to rot.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Air plants thrive in bright, indirect light. A spot near a window that receives filtered sunlight is ideal. Too much direct sun can scorch their leaves, so a little shade is always appreciated.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Despite being low maintenance, air plants do need some water to stay vibrant. Mist your air plant thoroughly 2-3 times a week, or soak in water for about 20-30 minutes every 2 weeks. Shake off excess water and let it dry upside down to prevent water from pooling at the base, which could cause rot.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Air plants prefer the warmer temperatures found in most homes, ranging from 16°C to 27°C. They are quite tolerant but will suffer if temperatures drop too low for prolonged periods.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
These tropical beauties enjoy a bit of humidity. A bathroom or kitchen where humidity tends to be higher is a perfect spot. If your home is dry, especially in winter months, regular misting can help meet their humidity needs.
🪴 Repotting (or substrate info for moss/creatures)
No repotting necessary! Air plants do not require soil; they absorb nutrients through their leaves. You can place them in a decorative holder, hang them, or let them sit atop a shelf — creativity is your only limit!
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Good news for pet owners! Air plants are non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs. You can decorate accessible places without worrying about your furry friends.
✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
Ideal spots include well-lit bathrooms, kitchens, or near north or east-facing windows. They make charming additions to desks or bookshelves, providing a touch of greenery without needing a lot of space.
🌬️🪴 Air Purifying
Air plants are known for their ability to help clean the air, removing pollutants and improving indoor air quality. A healthy, green way to enhance your living space!
