Know before you buy
Correct. Tillandsia are epiphytes, meaning they absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves rather than their roots. You can display them on shelves, in glass terrariums, or mounted on wood without any soil.
You can either mist them thoroughly once a week or soak them in a bowl of room-temperature water for 20 to 30 minutes. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and let them dry completely upside down to prevent rot.
Air plants thrive in bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain or a well-lit room away from direct, harsh sun is ideal to keep them healthy and vibrant.
They are very forgiving, but they do require a consistent weekly routine to stay hydrated. If you tend to forget, setting a weekly reminder for a quick soak or misting is usually enough to keep them thriving.
Yes, these spaces are often great for air plants because they appreciate moderate humidity. Just ensure they still receive adequate bright, indirect light and aren't placed in a room with no windows.
