Air plants are easy to grow, but they must be given the appropriate care in order to thrive. Proper watering and lighting are the most important components of plant care, but humidity and temperature also play a role.

Air is an important component of the health of an Air Plant. All Air Plants live off the air and will be healthier in a terrarium that is not enclosed. Place your Air Plant at a distance from your heater or cooler to avoid drying out the plant. After watering, Air Plants should be given enough light and air circulation to dry in four hours or less. Do not keep the plant constantly wet or moist.

Common Problems Q&A

Curling or Wrinkled Leaves

Causes:

  • Underwatering
  • Low humidity
  • Too much direct sunlight

Solutions:
✅ Soak the plant in room-temperature water for 30-60 minutes.
✅ Increase humidity by misting more frequently.
✅ Move to indirect light if exposed to too much direct sun.

Brown, Crispy Leaf Tips

Causes:

  • Dry air (low humidity)
  • Not enough water
  • Too much direct sunlight

Solutions:
✅ Mist more often or soak more frequently.
✅ Place near a humidifier or in a more humid room (like a bathroom).
✅ Move to a shaded area with bright, indirect light.

Rotting Base or Blackened Leaves

Causes:

  • Overwatering
  • Poor air circulation
  • Water trapped in the base

Solutions:
✅ Shake off excess water after soaking to prevent water buildup.
✅ Always dry the plant upside down for at least 4 hours after watering.
✅ Improve air circulation—place near a fan or open space.

Leaves Turning Yellow or Pale

Causes:

  • Too much direct sunlight
  • Sunburn
  • Nutrient deficiency

Solutions:
✅ Move to bright, indirect light—avoid direct sun exposure.
✅ Mist occasionally to keep leaves hydrated.
✅ Fertilize once a month with a diluted air plant fertilizer.

White Fuzzy Coating on Leaves

Causes:

  • Trichomes (natural plant feature)—Not a problem!
  • Mold (if plant is staying too wet)

Solutions:
✅ If the plant is healthy, the white fuzz is normal and helps absorb moisture.
✅ If mold, improve air circulation and dry properly after watering.

MIST IT REAL GOOD!

Misting effortlessly raises the humidity around your houseplants, creating a nurturing environment that mimics their natural rainforest habitat.

  • Lighting

    Air plants need bright, indirect light. Best placed near a window (east or south-facing is ideal). Avoid direct sunlight, which can dry them out too quickly. Fluorescent grow lights can be used if natural light is insufficient. Ideal Placement: Near a bright window but away from direct sun exposure.

  • Watering

    Soak air plants in room-temperature water for 20-30 minutes once a week. Shake off excess water after soaking to prevent rot. Mist 1-2 times per week between soakings, especially in dry climates. Increase watering in hot, dry environments and decrease in humid areas.

  • Toxicity

    Non-toxic to pets and humans. Safe for cats, dogs, and small animals. Tip: Keep out of reach of curious pets to prevent damage.

  • Fertilization

    Use a diluted air plant or bromeliad fertilizer once a month. Fertilizing encourages blooming and pup growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can burn the plant. Alternative: Use an orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
