Everything You Need To Know About Air Plants | Complete Tillandsia Care Guide | Houseplant Care

I know I've been promising this video for awhile now, but I finally got around to showing you all how I can keep my air plants (tillandsias) alive. This is a complete care guide on these air plants and everything I think you should know about air plant care.

Air plants are easy, but it wasn't such a easy path to success for me. These plants can be tricky, especially when it comes to watering. Hopefully this video can help shed some light on these guys and make you want to add them into your plant collection.

Got three. Have a small fountain to put humility in our home. Place the air plant on the fountain. Use rain water for all the plants from the fish pond on my patio.

I'm Brazilian and not fluent in English, but I understood your pronunciation very well. You have excellent diction, speak slowly and have a beautiful intonation. Congratulations.
And the video is very informative.

I recently got an airplant and so happy I found your video today 😊

I have my collection for more than 10 years. Light is very important! I have orchids, and air plants like orchid lights (I use day light LEDs of different lumens.) Lights set for 12/12. Soaking is a KEY! You showed it right way! I use dish drying mat to dry plants. When they completely dry I stack them on my manzanita tree. No any kind of attacments. Plants are free! Air movement is important too, big deal!
Many air plants will continue to leave after blooming and will grow pups! I keep pups together, they grow and survive better. Little ones can die easily if separated. I separating them when they are big. Some air plants are hardy and can tolerate low humidity (surprize for me!). Winter humidity in my house can reach unhealthy 23%. Oddly I found out that low humidity is better! Plants are drying faster, not rotting, just need some misting. I got that salon fine mist bottle, very fine mist doesn't have droplets, good for orchids too! Xerographica is amazing plant, still alive after 10 years, two pups! Stramineyas all died😢, absolutely love stricta's blooms!
Thank you for your video!

Today I received my first air plant. It's so beautiful! I love plants but needed to know more about it. The information that you've shared is very informative and greatly appreciated! I'm so excited about my gift and new experiences as I watch my air plant grow. Thank you L. and A. for sending me this beautiful plant!

Good job! You do are a natural speaking into a camera. My background is TV and video. Thanks for you informative tips!

[aligonolder]

Thank you so much for this air plant care tutorial! I didn't know air plants' lifespan is only about 3-5 years 😯 and watering tips were quite useful! Now I know that they gather moisture through those little transparent scales

I am new to your channel and I have tried air plants but not been able to keep them alive. I am going to try again. Glad I found you and I am subscribing to you.

Thank you! I got an air plant for my birthday but didn’t know how to care for it. Your video has been very helpful to me.

[JuanellHopper]

I am so glad you made this video because I just got my first air plants today

[JuanellHopper]

I have been following your instructions about my new air plants, and they're all living and beautiful...and one of them is actually growing. 😯 I love them.

[RoadRunner]

Nice collection. I just started with these plants. I also put a table fan on them with a subtle breeze to let them dry quickly.

[lisaanglim]

Thank you so much Amanda for this. I may try again. I was keeping them in too dark an area and not letting them dry over night.

[alicegordon]

Hello I am sure going try these little fellows. Oh so cute. Got two almost 6 months ago but I just put them in apot along side another plant.

[shauntaestewart]

[Angellegna]

Love the video. Now I will try to fertilize mine. Also maybe add some new ones to my collection.

[cherylsignor]

Glad I watched this video - just bought an air plant like your tricky one and now I know to water it differently. Love the sun catcher/air plant holder I got from your shop!

[patbunn]

I’m so excited about the air plants, I have many of them. Thank you for sharing the video ❤

[GenRN]

Great to know about the more bulbous ones that they are more prone to crown rot. I’m thinking on putting them in my aquariums to hydrate. Thoughts from anyone on this?
