Caring for Tillandsias ( Air Plants)

Air plants are a great option for people living in small spaces because they don't use soil and require little care.  There are many varieties.  Many people collect them.  Let's take a look at what care they need:
 
Light:  Their preferred light is bright, filtered sunlight.  Direct sunlight may burn your air plants.  
 
Water: The more light they receive, the more water they will need.  So if you have them close to a light source, you may need to water them twice a week, otherwise, once a week will probably be fine.  You can either soak them in water for a few minutes,  then allow to dry thoroughly; or mist them with a spray bottle.  Do not allow them to sit in water.
 
Other tips: When they grow in the outdoors, they will attach themselves to other plants.  They prefer temperatures between 60-90 degrees.  They thrive when there is ventilated air.
 
There are a lot of creative ways to display air plants.  Maybe do a search on pinterest for more inspiration!
