How to grow air plants

1. Temperature

When maintaining it, please note that it can withstand temperatures as low as 5 degrees Celsius, but will suffer frost damage at zero degrees. The suitable growth temperature is around 15-25℃. If the temperature is too high, it will also go dormant. When the temperature is low in winter, you should try to keep it indoors, and be careful not to keep it too close to a stove or heater.

2. Watering

Since air plants do not have potting soil and do not have root systems like ordinary flowers, they cannot be watered using ordinary methods. The main method of watering is spraying. Spraying can be done as long as there is no water accumulation on the leaves. The frequency and amount of spraying should be reduced in low temperature seasons. Another way is to water the plant, which is to find a bucket and immerse the plant in the bucket, then take it out and let the water drip and dry naturally. Avoid water accumulation on leaves under strong light, as this will cause diseases such as sunburn.

3. Lighting

Air plants need strong light, but at noon, especially at noon in hot summer, we must avoid exposing the plants directly to sunlight. The most suitable placement is an east- or southeast-facing windowsill or balcony, where it can receive direct sunlight for a short period of time.
