These plants absorb water and nutrients through the leaves which makes them ideal for creating green arrangements with shells, driftwood, as well as globe terrariums.

How to Care for your Air Plant
Your cute air plant needs water. You can mist it daily or soak it 1 to 3 times per week in water for a couple of hours. The more deeply you water, the more time it buys you. But never wait longer than a week to water your air plant. You should never really wait longer than a week. And your air plant need light. Tillandsias love as much bright indirect light as you can give them with an additional brief period of direct sun during early morning or late afternoon.
