Air plants are like the rebels of the plant world, thriving without soil thanks to their special adaptations.

A plant that doesn’t need soil to grow? Yup, that’s right. These incredible life forms are epiphytic, meaning they derive moisture and nutrients from the air, rather than from soil. So, you can say goodbye to potting soil and dirt under your fingernails!

They are also incredibly resilient, making them perfect for those with, shall we say…a less-than-stellar track record with plants. These leafy survivors can put up with a lot, but with just a little love and attention, they’ll reward you with a stunning bloom that will make your heart (and Instagram feed) sing.

When caring for these beauties, keeping a few things in mind is essential. First off, they love bright but indirect light, so placing them near a window works like magic. They’re also relatively low maintenance when it comes to watering – they’ll be thriving even if you occasionally forget their existence (don’t worry, we won’t tell them)!😉 A mist or quick soak once every couple of weeks is usually enough to keep them hydrated. However, make sure you let them dry thoroughly afterward to prevent rotting. And if you want your air plant to flourish even more, treat it with a gentle fertilizer every few months. With just a little TLC your air plants will thrive and add that touch of whimsy to your space!

1. Watering: Contrary to their name, Air Plants do require water. A good soaking in a bath of room temperature water for about 20-30 minutes once a week will do the trick. Shake off any excess water and let them dry upside down to prevent rotting.
2. Lighting: Air Plants love bright, indirect light. Place them near a window, but not in direct sunlight.
3. Temperature: Keep your Air Plants happy by maintaining a temperature between 50-90°F. They can handle a wide range, but they’re not fans of frost or extreme heat.

Still unsure about your ability to care for these little wonders? Just remember our motto: “The easiest plant to love and the hardest plant to kill.” You got this!
