Light: Thrives in low to medium indirect light, but can tolerate a wide range of environments.

Water: We recommend fully submerging your Air Plants in a bowl of water for about 5-10 minutes once a week, or lightly misting your air plant about 2-3 times a week.

Plant Tip: Be sure to shake off any excess water after watering your air plant, and allow to air dry in a bright room. Overwatering will result in the bottom of your plant turning brown.
