Air Plants (Tillandsia)
Tillandsia spp.
Tillandsias take everything they need through their leaves, which means no soil, no pot and no drainage to think about. Rest one in a shell, wire it to driftwood, or sit it in a glass bowl — anywhere with light and airflow works.
The single rule that matters: after their weekly soak, they must be dried upside down. Water sitting in the crown rots the base, and that is the only thing that reliably kills them. Some varieties blush deep red before flowering, which is worth waiting for.
- No soil, no pot, no drainage — mount them anywhere
- Weekly 20-minute soak, then dry upside down
- Many varieties blush red before they flower

How to look after your Air Plants (Tillandsia)
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Bright, filtered light. No direct midday sun.
- Water
- Soak in water for 20–30 minutes each week, then shake out and dry upside down for four hours so no water sits in the crown.
- Humidity
- Moderate to high. Mist between soaks in dry weather.
- Soil
- None. Mount on wood, set in a shell, or rest in a glass vessel — never in soil.
- Feeding
- Dilute bromeliad feed in the soak water once a month.
- Temperature
- 10–32°C.
If something goes wrong
Base going brown and leaves falling away
Why it happens: Water trapped in the crown after soaking.
What to do: Always dry upside down. Once the base rots the plant cannot be saved.
Curling, dry leaf tips
Why it happens: Not enough water.
What to do: Increase to two soaks a week during summer.
