Environmental wise, depending on where you live, you may need to adjust your watering habits for your air plants. If you live in a drier climate, you might need to water more frequently or mist daily in between soaks, whereas if your air plants are in a place where they receive abundant humidity from the air, you may need to water less.

Lighting is important for air plants as any living species need some type of light to live. If you are keeping your plants indoors, you will want  to make sure they are near an adequate light source. Windows are perfect if you do not get a lot of direct sun through the window. If they are an east or west facing, you’ll want to back it away 3-5 feet from the window. You can place them outside, just be sure it is a nice, shaded area that does not get any direct sun. An ideal place would be in a bathroom window where the steam/moisture will keep them happy. You most certainly can use artificial light, just be cautious of how long they are under the light for.

Another important aspect to air plant care is air and temperature. You will need good, clean air circulation to survive. You will not want to keep your air plant in enclosed containers, they like to live in places where they can get good air circulation. There are several different displays that work well such as tabletop or glass that showcase your beautiful plants. You will also want to make sure the temperature in your home from 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
