AIR PLANT CARE: AN OVERVIEW
Air plants, belonging to the genus Tillandsia, are hardy bromeliad plants native to Central and South America. Unlike traditional houseplants, these unique species do not require soil to thrive. Instead, they obtain moisture and nutrients from the air around them, making them an excellent choice for those seeking low-maintenance greenery.
WATERING REQUIREMENTS To keep your air plants healthy, soak them in water for 20 minutes once a week, then allow them to fully dry out before returning them to their display. This watering routine mimics the natural rainfall patterns these plants experience in their natural habitats.
LIGHTING NEEDS Air plants require bright, indirect sunlight to flourish. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the delicate leaves. Instead, situate them near a sunny window or under a grow light to ensure they receive the necessary illumination.
AIR CIRCULATION Proper air circulation is crucial for the well-being of air plants. Ensure they are placed in a location with good airflow, such as near a ceiling fan or in a well-ventilated area. This helps prevent the accumulation of stagnant air, which can lead to fungal growth and other issues.
SOIL-FREE GROWING One of the unique features of air plants is their ability to grow without soil. They absorb moisture and nutrients directly through their leaves, making them a versatile option for a variety of displays, including terrariums, hanging planters, and wall-mounted arrangements.
SIZING AND PACKAGING The air plants included in this offering measure approximately 1-3 inches in height and 1-2 inches in width. Packaged in a 12-pack, these plants can be used in a wide range of applications, from decorative containers and globes to terrariums, vertical gardens, and even as wedding or event favors.
HAND-PICKED AND GUARANTEED Each air plant is hand-selected and packaged with care by our trained shippers, ensuring that only the healthiest specimens are sent to you. Should you be dissatisfied with your order for any reason, we offer a health guarantee and will replace the plants at no additional cost.
BLOOMING AND COLOR VARIATIONS Air plants do not always arrive in bloom, with the characteristic red and purple coloration. However, most will bloom 2-3 times per year, showcasing their vibrant hues. In their non-blooming state, the plants will maintain a lush, green appearance.
By following these simple care guidelines, you can enjoy the beauty and low-maintenance nature of air plants in your home or office. Whether incorporated into unique displays or used as standalone accents, these versatile plants are sure to bring a touch of natural elegance to any space.
