The Affection Remains

hrafnsmál with ingrid and ashe, a conversation between a valkyrie and a raven for @fodlansfables

I recently bought three air plants. I don’t know what they are though! How often and how long should I be soaking them? I feel like since I’ve bought them they haven’t really changed at all.

hey! most air plants (with some variation) are cool with a 5-20 minute soak once every week or two. these are vague numbers on purpose because 1. they’re hardy and can tolerate almost anything you throw at them and 2. there are some variations with every individual plant, its temp/light/humidity situation, etc.

you’re not really gonna see much of a change since when you bought them. most wholesalers send out plants when they’re at a stable and mature-ish state. (most) tillandsia flower once and then put out pups (baby plants that are clones of the mother plant). some species will let you know as they approach flowering stage by changing color from the apex(growing center part) to the leaf tips, usually a reddish pink. but other than that, your air plant is pretty set in its final form!

occasionally if your plant looks like it needs it or if it’s been a while(weeks-months) you can heavily dilute some regular liquid plant fertilizer and mist it on or add it to the soak bath. there’s plenty of info online about this if you google air plant feeding. that’s about it! good luck with your plants!

(ps: I get a lotta questions about air plants! I don’t mind answering them in the slightest, but if you want more info from my page you can search the tags #tillandsia or #airplants or #answer or #ask for similar stuff!)
