The Art of Air Plant Care: Your Essential Guide

Think of your air plant as a little zen master - it doesn't ask for much, but it thrives on consistency.
Basic Care Schedule:
- Morning misting (2-3 times weekly)
- Bright, indirect light
- Good air circulation

Deep Soaking Ritual
Here's your step-by-step guide:
- Fill a bowl with filtered water
- Submerge your air plant for 20-30 minutes
- Gently shake off excess water
- Place upside down on a towel to dry completely (2-3 hours)
- Return to its display
Pro Tip: Add this monthly ritual to your calendar as your "plant meditation day" - it's a perfect time to cleanse your crystals and reset your intentions too!
