Assorted Air Plants

Curling or Wrinkled Leaves

Causes:

• Underwatering

✅ 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.

Leaves Turning Yellow or Pale

Causes:

• Too much direct sunlight
• Sunburn
• Nutrient deficiency

Solutions:
✅ Move to bright, indirect light—avoid direct sun exposure.

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.
