☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

Place your Tillandsia Ionantha in a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can be too harsh, so ensure it’s receiving filtered light to keep it thriving without scorching its leaves.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Mist the air plant every 1-2 weeks, making sure the plant has time to dry fully between waterings. For a more thorough hydration, soak it in water for 15-20 minutes weekly, then allow it to dry completely before placing it back in its terracotta pot.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

💦 Humidity

    The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
