    I have made the mistake of killing several of my air plants because I watered them at the crown and within a week they rotted and all the leaves fell off. I have now learned to water them upside down, then let them thoroughly drt upside down on the counter before setting them back up on display. I also mist my larger air plants that are too big to sit upside down for watering once or twice per week. So far I am having success after failing with them!

    Oh my gosh I owned one until very recently! I got it as a "gift", I was told to take it because the previous owner didn't want it anymore. I was so confused by it, it was in a little bit of sand in a circle glass container, and had no roots. I watered it like I would any succulent. It survived for about a year. It suddenly died because white fuzz covered the base of it over night. Sad to see it go. I wish I had known! What an amazing plant, Earth is a crazy place!

I would leave a thin layer of brown while cutting so it doesn't brown further. When you cut into green leaf, it starts to brown again soon!

    Thank you so much for sharing this video, I like air plants, and had one several years ago, but really didn't know how to care for it, so of course it died, I would like to try again, and probably will at some point. I love this channel so much you give the best information on house plants and garden plants and all those lovely things we all love but struggle with.

    This video was very helpful. We winter in Florida, where I can just pick air plants off of trees. They do beautifully for awhile, but eventually die. Lots of good information, thank you.

    Thank you for this video! I have an air plant and it’s been doing good but I still have no clue on how to best take care of it. This video surely helps

    Thank you. I couldn’t find any air plants locally so I ordered them on line. They died. I might see if I can find some more, I love them and wish I could keep them alive LOL

    Very insightful video, thank you! I've just purchased two, for my boyfriend and me, so I'm pretty excited.
    Also, your hair is so beautiful - had to comment on that!
