Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
• Water: Soak the plant in room-temperature water for 20–30 minutes once a week. In hot, dry environments, mist lightly every few days. Allow it to dry completely before returning to its display spot to prevent rot.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Ideal for bathrooms or kitchens, or you can use a humidifier to maintain moisture levels.
• Temperature: Grows best in warm temperatures between 18–30°C.
• Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation around the plant to keep it healthy and dry after watering.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a diluted air plant fertilizer to encourage growth and blooming.
• Display Tips: As an air plant, it doesn’t require soil. Mount it on driftwood, place it in a glass terrarium, or display it in creative arrangements to show off its unique shape.
