Light: Air plants should be kept where they receive good bright indirect light. If they are kept in a very bright place, they may require frequent watering or misting as it will deplete the plants of their moisture. The general thumb rule is the higher the humidity of the air the higher light will be tolerated.
Water: Choose the water carefully for watering air plants, they don’t do well with hard water or high salt content in the water. Also, avoid softened or distilled water however Reverse Osmosis or RO water or Rainwater is a good choice for these plants.
Air Circulation: Do not keep the plants wet or soaked for a long period. The plants must be dried quickly (usually within 1- 2 hours) after watering. Keep the plants in a naturally ventilated place, which is very important for their growth and survival.
Temperature: Air plants will do well in warm and humid climatic conditions (Between a range of 20°C to 35°C). They are sensitive to low temperatures below 10°C.
Fertilizer: Air plants do not require fertilizer as they can grow and survive on the nutrients that are available in the water and air. If you are keen, mist a liquid-based fertilizer diluted (1/4 recommended strength or 0.25g per liter of water) once a month.
