How to take care of air plants?

Air plants or Tillandsias, if you prefer, are quite different from other indoor flowers and grow in a very different way. The greatest advantage of Tillandsias is that they require much less care and attention than other plants which does not mean none, of course. Like any other living plant, they need watering, light, air circulation, right temperature, the right air plant containers and some fertilizing.

How to water air plants?

Watering is of great importance to Tillandsias. The name “air plants” is misleading and many people think that they do not need or need very little water. Make no mistake – air plants do need water, despite the fact that they will survive a fortnight of drought. The longer you keep them dry, the chances grow that your adorable plants will die. Tillandsias obtain their water through the leaves and in they receive it with dew, fog and rain.

House plants should be wet thoroughly at least two times a week. A note of attention – your Tillandsias will not survive standing in water but rot and die. This means that air circulation is just as important as watering. Make sure that your plants get enough light and air circulation for at least four hours after watering in order to dry.

Suitable lighting and temperature

Adequate lighting and temperature are as important for healthy plants as watering. Bright light is recommendable as long as it does not burn your air plants. If you grow Tillandsia outdoors, make sure it is under a tree and on a shady spot. Direct sunlight for an hour is okay but you do have to avoid direct sunlight for a whole day. When you grow Tillandsias indoors, you need to know that they will feel very well in front of a window. Artificial light is also okay and full spectrum artificial light (fluorescent) is best provided that the plants are not further than 36″ from the fluorescent tubes (90 cm). What is the best temperature? Tillandsias feel best at 50 – 90 degrees F (10-15°C).

Fertilizing tips

Use a water soluble fertilizer at 1/4 the strength specified on the label only once a month. Bromeliad fertilizer (17-8-22) is the most recommended fertilizer. Remember that these flowers are delicate and tiny, so the fertilizer shouls not be too strong. Other options are Rapid Grow, Miracle-Grow, etc. Air plants in a pond or aquarium do not need fertilizing as they get enough of a natural fertilizer.

Decorating with Tillandsias
