I LOVE (an I mean LOVE) your visual aids for misting or soaking @ 1:47. The sound of that plant hitting the water just about had me on the floor. That one segment, alone, is worth the price of admission.
Excellent video! I would also advice not to soak them all together when a new plant is bough: after you have quarantined the new ones, it is fine, but if you get a contaminated plant from the store it can spread fungal infections on all the collection (that's how I lost my first batch of plants some years ago).
Excellent video. I received my first air plant as a gift with no instructions and this video was very helpful. I have a green thumb with typical house plants but I wanted to make sure I knew how to care for my new addition.
Full watch dear so healthy after soaking
Thank you so much! 💚🤗 I love how their colour deepens after a good bath!
I love my air plants wish I could send a picture of hangers I made with them for you to see I wasnt a plant person but with air planes on love
I usually soak my little guy for an hour, however, around the hour mark before I was gonna take him out Sunday as we were leaving for a movie I COMPLETELY forgot about him (AND a string of hearts that was finishing up bottom watering next to him!). We got dinner after the movie, too. Air plant is doing fine though! SOH is too, I let her sit on a paper towel over night to wick up excess water. :)
But yeah just saying this to let you all know it’s okay, you can be forgetful with the air plants lol. They are hardy.
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you!! 💚
Very good information on maintenance
Tq for such good share 👍🤝
Thank you so much. Your support means a lot!! 💚💚💚
I and my plants would be done if it weren't for you 😂. Keep them coming 👍
🌿👍
A friendly tip:
While you are shooting a video, temporarily hang bedsheets (or something similar) around you, out of frame (so we don't see them). This will cut down on the sound waves bouncing off of all the flat, hard surfaces around you; which causes the reverb (tinny sound).
Once you are done, simply take them down and put them away.
Easy, simple and improves the sound quality immensely.
Very nice upload friend
Stay connected
Thank you!
Thank you for clearing up all my questions! As you said there is alot of misinformation for care. Also I have a house plant my bf bought for me but I have no idea what kind of plant it is. I look on the Internet and no where. Could you possibly help????
Good info 😊. I usually just put them in the shower with my staghorns and give them a deep spray but I'm rethinking this and will probably start dunking them since I've obtained more.
Thank you!!💚🌿 The shower is an interesting way of doing it that I hadn't thought about before. Does it work well for your staghorns? It is really easy to drop them in a bucket of water and let them sit and mine love it! 💚🌿
@@mindtheleaves9914 yep! works great for my stags!
@@plantsinner5072 very cool!
How often do you mist the air plants. I just received mine yesterday for my 40th anniversary, have no ideal how to tend to them. Tia
i have never seen an air plant with roots the ones I have were glued in a glass jar or hanger how do you care for thoes kind
I soak my air plant for sometimes an hour or more every day, then shake off excess water and let them dry upside down and a few hours later they feel really dry. This is a little baby airplant too. I feel like they get so damn dry the same day but i'm already soaking them on a daily basis when most guides said once or twice a week so how do they get so dry? I know I live in a dry climate and its winter but I was told they look green when they've got enough water and that the trichomes become visible when the plant is dry.
Hi I just got an air plant how do you fertilize it
You can add 1/4 of the recommended strength of the fertilizer to your water when you water them. You can soak or mist, but I think soaking is better. You can use air plant, bromeliad or houseplant fertilizer. You can do it quarterly. I don't fertilize my air plants often though, it's not really necessary.
My airplants producing new roots
These plants should be allowed to dry upside down before returning them to their designated spots. They are very easily prone to rot. The mesic green tillandsias are soaked and the xeric silvery fuzzy tillandsias are quickly dunked so weak.
Whatta bull**
Dont cut the roots🫥
Thats cause of stress to the plants..
