Air Plant Care Guide by Enchanted Blossoms, Holmdel, NJ
Your easy, local guide to thriving air plants — from sea urchin jellyfish to sculptural Xerographica.
What Are Air Plants?
Air plants (Tillandsia) are a unique type of plant that don’t require soil to grow. Instead, they absorb water and nutrients through their leaves. They’re perfect for decorative containers like sea shells, hanging glass orbs, and driftwood—and need only a little attention to thrive.
Air Plant Care Tips
Watering
-
Once per week, soak your air plant in room temperature water for 20–30 minutes.
-
After soaking, gently shake off excess water and place the plant upside down to dry fully within 4 hours.
-
In drier months or with heat/AC running, mist lightly 1–2 times per week in addition to soaking.
Avoid rot: Never let water collect at the base of the plant, especially for Xerographica or sea urchin shell displays.
Light
-
Place your air plant near bright, indirect sunlight (an east or west window is ideal).
-
Artificial light is okay if it’s full-spectrum fluorescent or LED and stays on for at least 12 hours/day.
Air Circulation
-
Air plants love good airflow, which helps them dry quickly and stay healthy.
-
Avoid stuffy enclosed containers or areas with poor ventilation.
Temperature
-
Keep plants in 50–90°F (10–32°C). Bring them inside if outdoor temps drop below 45°F.
Xerographica-Specific Tips
-
Needs less frequent watering—every 10–14 days is often enough.
-
Prefers brighter light and more airflow than smaller Tillandsia.
-
Do not over-mist, especially in enclosed containers.
Display Ideas
-
Sea Urchin Jellyfish: Hang with fishing line for a floating jellyfish effect.
-
Shells & Driftwood: Great for beachy bathrooms or coastal gifts.
-
Glass Orbs: Suspend in windows or clusters near light sources.
