How to care for air plants

1, lighting. Air plants like bright indirect light. They should be placed near natural light sources that can receive light most of the day. If the humidity where you live is high, plants can get more light without being too dry. If you have a dry plant, it will be more tolerant of direct or bright sunlight.

2. water. The demand of air plants for water depends on the conditions in which they are in the dryer. A hotter environment will cause factories to water more frequently-a wetter and cooler climate requires less water. Generally speaking, medium-sized air plants need to be watered every week, while dry air plants need to be watered every two weeks.

3. temperature. Air factories like temperatures of 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit (10-32 degrees Celsius). Fortunately, they can still survive at temperatures outside this range. They are happiest in humid air, which is why they thrive in sunny bathrooms. They can absorb moisture from showers.

4. Toxicity. Plants in the air are not toxic to people, cats and dogs, so there is no need to worry about babies entering the air. However, these plants may jump, so trim off any bitten or broken leaves and be careful as usual.

5. Common airborne plant pests: The two pests that affect airborne plants are scale insects and whiteflies. Scale insects attach to the bottom of leaves and feed on plants. There are few scaly protrusions on the leaves of these pests. If the leaves of plants turn yellow or fall off, please check for pests.

6. Common diseases of air plants: The most troublesome problem of air plants is root rot. This is because plants are watered too much or soaked in water for too long. Root rot is a brown or black root, which is usually sticky to the touch. To avoid root rot, please make sure not to drown the plants. It helps to track the watering progress through the plant care tracking table.
