Whether you’re battling the dry heat of summer or the frosty chill of winter, we’ve got you covered with all the tips and tricks you’ll need to ensure your air plants remain the talk of the town (or at least, your living room) all year round.

🌱 Spring Into Growth

Sunlight: As the days grow longer, your air plants will crave more light. Gradually introduce them to brighter spots, but be wary of direct sunlight which can scorch their delicate leaves.

Watering: With higher temperatures and longer days, your air plants will need more frequent watering. Consider soaking them twice a week to keep them hydrated. If your environment is particularly humid, adjust accordingly.

Feeding: Spring is the perfect time to start a regular fertilizing schedule. A monthly mist with a bromeliad fertilizer will encourage growth and bloom.

☀️ Summer Loving

Heat Protection: Air plants love warmth but not the scorching summer sun. Keep them in a place where they can enjoy bright, indirect light without the risk of getting sunburned.

Watering Woes: The sweltering summer heat means more evaporation and thirstier plants. Increase soaking times or frequency depending on the dryness of your home. Always allow them to dry fully to prevent rot.

Air Circulation: Ensure your air plants have plenty of fresh air to help them breathe and prevent disease. A gentle fan or an airy room does wonders during the hot months.

🍂 Fall Adjustments

Light Changes: As the days shorten, move your air plants to ensure they receive enough light. This might mean relocating them closer to a window or supplementing with artificial light.

Watering: Begin to reduce the frequency of waterings as the temperature drops and humidity increases with the autumn rain. Keep an eye on them to make sure they’re not staying wet too long.

Prepping for Dormancy: Some air plants may begin to show signs of dormancy, slowing in growth. This is natural; just continue to care for them, and they’ll bounce back in the spring.

❄️ Winter Care

Temperature: Keep air plants away from cold drafts and windows that can become chilly overnight. They prefer temperatures above 50°F (10°C).

Light: With shorter days, maximizing light exposure is key. A bright room or a grow light can supplement their light needs without exposing them to the harsh outdoor elements.

Watering: Reduce watering frequency in winter, as the cooler temperatures and reduced light slow the plant’s metabolism. Once a week or less can be enough, but ensure they still receive adequate humidity.

Year-Round Tips

  • Adaptability is Key: The most important seasonal care tip is to observe your plants and adapt to their needs. Changes in color, leaf texture, and overall appearance can guide your care routine.
  • Consistency: While seasonal adjustments are necessary, try to keep any changes gradual to avoid shocking your plants.
  • Enjoy the Process: Part of the joy of air plant care is observing how these unique plants respond to their environment and your care. Enjoy the journey of learning and growing with them!

Caring for air plants is a rewarding experience that changes with the seasons. By adjusting your care routine to meet their seasonal needs, you’ll ensure your tillandsias stay healthy, happy, and beautiful all year long. Remember, the key to successful air plant care is observation and adaptation. Keep an eye on your green friends and adjust as necessary, and they’ll thrive under your care, no matter the season.
