General Info
Air plants are epiphytes, which means they grow attached to another plant- usually the trunks of trees- this means they do not need soil
This plant will produce a stem, from which it will grow multiple blooms which are most often a dark purple
After the blooming process, your air plant will have the potential to grow pups- where a new baby plant begins to grow off the mature plant from the base
Watering
Your air plant will need very humid conditions to grow, as it doesn’t have roots and instead absorbs moisture through the foliage
Traditional watering will not be necessary, instead its best to give your air plant a thorough mist several times a week
Make sure that when you mist that your plant isn’t left in direct sun, this can cause the foliage to burn
Soaking is also a common method for watering, make sure not to soak for more than 10-15 minutes at a time
After watering it is best to leave your air plant sitting upside down for up to 30 minutes to allow any access water to drain out
