☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Air Plant Tillandsia thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where sunlight is filtered through a curtain, ensuring it doesn’t receive harsh direct sun that can scorch its delicate leaves.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the air plant hydrated by misting it 2-3 times a week, or give it a thorough soak in water for about 20 minutes every 1-2 weeks. Ensure it’s fully dried afterwards to prevent rot.
🌡️️ Temperature
🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (Average)
Air Plants prefer typical indoor temperatures, around 18-24°C. They are quite tolerant but protect them from extreme cold drafts and hot radiators.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
Tillandsias enjoy moderate to high humidity, making them perfect for kitchens and bathrooms where the air is usually moister than other parts of the home.
🪴 Repotting
Since Tillandsias do not grow in soil, they don’t need traditional repotting. Instead, focus on their mounting or display setup, ensuring they are secure and their leaves have space to spread out.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
These plants are non-toxic to pets, so they’re safe to keep around your furry friends without worry.
🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
Ideal spots include shelves near an east or south-facing window, bathrooms with natural light, or any space where indirect sunlight brightens the room.
☀️ Air Purifying
Though not as potent as some larger houseplants, Air Plants can help filter indoor air, adding a breath of fresh air to your home environment.
✨ Other Plant Features
Each Tillandsia is unique, varying in shape, size, and color, which adds an artistic touch to your home decor. They are also perfect for terrariums, vivariums, and creative mounted displays.
