Air Plant Care

HOW DO I PLANT MY TILLANDSIA?
DO NOT plant your Tillandsia! Putting Air Plants in soil will kill them.
CAN I GROW TILLANDSIA INSIDE?
YES, but place them close to a window so they can receive enough light.
WILL TILLANDSIA GROW UP NORTH?
YES, but make sure they are receiving enough light by keeping them in the brightest place you can find.
HOW MUCH LIGHT SHOULD I GIVE MY PLANTS?
Give your plants enough bright natural light so they can color, without having them in direct sunlight. More light = More color.
CAN I USE ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING?
Fluorescent, halogen, and grow lights work best if you are going to be using artificial lighting for your plants. 
DO I HAVE TO WATER MY PLANTS?
Yes.
WHERE DO I PUT THE WATER?
Soaking your plants upside down and misting them are both efficient ways to water them. Be sure to get all of the leaves wet. Do not allow the water to sit in the cups, gently shake out excess.
HOW DO I FERTILIZE SINCE THERE IS NO SOIL?
Use Bromeliad Fertilizer (17-8-22) twice a month to your misting or soaking routine. See the Air Plant Care page for more info.
WHY DOES MY AIR PLANT LOOK MOLDY?
Those hairs are Trichomes and they are what give your plant a silvery/white appearance. They are tiny structures on the leaf of the plant that help the plant absorb nutrients from the air and water.
CAN I PUT TILLANDSIA IN MY TERRARIUM?
Yes. As long as it has some type of opening to allow air flow.
WHAT DO I DO WITH THE OLD BLOOM SPIKE?
As the mother plant dies and pups take over the bloom will shrink to nothing. If it starts to look too lifeless you can always remove it.
IS SPHAGNUM MOSS AROUND THE BASE OF THE PLANT A GOOD IDEA?
Moss tends to hold moisture and you do not want moisture around the base of your plant. It will cause it to rot and the plant will die. Keep your plants completely dry between waterings to avoid this.
