Air plants, or Tillandsia, grow floating in the air, where they live and thrive without soil. Part of the Bromeliad family, air plants do not have traditional roots; instead, they absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves.
How to water air Plants
There are a few acceptable watering practices. You can mist them every few days, drenching them until dripping wet, bathe them for six to 12 hours in a bowl of water once a week, or a third method - flip them upside down and water the leaves under the faucet.
Whatever method you choose, it’s crucial to shake off excess water when finished and set the plant out to dry on a towel for at least four hours.
