In reply to Billie Ann. they should be. If not, they should be taken back to the store as they sold you dead plants.

I just bought two from the store and they look like they could use a good soaking. Will they be okay till tomorrow?

In reply to Nina. I have 2 air plants and they live in a globe bottle, above my sink in the kitchen. I take both out, rinse the sand off and let them stay in a bowl in the water probably for over night. They go back to the sand globe. Then I do it again maybe in 2 weeks. They’re doing great, but not growing…hmmm. Do u have to fertilize them? If you do, how, in the water I soak them in?

People often do glue the plants but I don’t. Here is another way: https://gardentherapy.ca/air-plant-wreath/

Do you think that I could use Silicon sealant to glue my plants to bog wood ?
I live on the Greek island of Corfu and I have collected lots of Olive tree branches ( some have been lying around for years ) that I have picked upon dog walks and they are now totally dry, just begging for air plants ! 😀

I just lost mine to it rotting. I bath it but didn’t let it completely dry. Lesson learned I’ll try it again. Thanks for the article.

Great article, I always spritzed my air plants but they didn’t seem to be getting enough moisture.

I have purchased many air plants and love them very much. As per instructions I had misted and soaked them and take care of them also but I found that after misting and soaking leaves became soggy and then my plants got damaged every time. So I want to know what is the problem actually?
