Air plants are one of those plants that do not require soil. Simple care tips we found to keep an air-plant a live in Manitoba is to do, mist it once a week till the water is just starting to run. then once a month give it what we call a bath this is simply emerging it in a bowl of water for 5 to 10 minutes after the allotted time take the plant out give it a quick shake upside down and re-put on to your display. Do not place air plants in full sun exposure what they like is indirect bright light. Do not place air plants in high air movement areas or cold nor extreme heat drafts Helpful tip do not use direct tapwater if it is treated as the chlorine will kill these plants burning the very life out of them therefore if using tapwater let sit on the counter for 24 hours for the chlorine to evaporate. That's it that's how easy these plants are to care for
