🚿 Air Plant Care Guide
Keep your miniature ocean sanctuary looking pristine with these simple care steps:
Watering Your Air Plants
Because this terrarium uses fine sand and decorative sea glass, never pour water directly into the glass bowl. Instead, remove the plants to water them:
-
- The Soak Method (Highly Recommended): Remove both air plants from the sand once a week. Submerge them completely in a bowl of room-temperature water for 20–30 minutes.
- The Mist Method: Alternatively, you can heavily mist the plants with a spray bottle 2–3 times a week outside of the glass bowl.
Critical Step: The Upside-Down Dry
-
- Shake and Dry: After soaking or misting, gently shake any excess water out of the leaves while holding the plants upside down.
- Air It Out: Let the plants dry completely upside down on a towel for 2–4 hours before placing them back onto the sand. If water gets trapped inside the base of the plant inside the glass, it will rot.
