Air Plant Deaths & How to Avoid Them | DON'T Give Up On These Beauties Yet!!

[@alexisconnergaming6793]

I thought mine was dea, so I put her in my garden at the base of one of my other plants so it could decompose into nutrients, and I forgot about it. Went out today to look for some rogue corn growing in my yard and found my air plant alive and healthy on my front lawn 😅

😂 mine has pups I just noticed. It's been dark and yucky so I put it in my gecko enclosure but now it's probably going to be too wet in there. So I'll keep an eye on it. If it looks worse I'll take it out. Fortunately I look at the geckos every day so I can look at my plant too.

Ive watches a lot of plant videos is my years. And ive got to hand it to you. Ive only seen two of your videos so far. Your choice of words and Knowledge.. On airplants makes me feel like a professional. Thankyou for takeing your time and sharing your Knowledge.

[@mellewedin8221]

Omg, THANK YOU!!! I thought I was doing better this second time, I am for one and not the other, but now I know which type needs water. Legit thought I didn't have to water them at all!! I plan on setting a terrarium for the Air plants. Thankfully I will be able to save my plants and have my new ones thrive. I just dried one plant out and I am now walking the other, before I lose it it's pups. It's a plant that already flowered.

I’m new to air plants and I just love them. Thank you for all the information. I’m like a sponge soaking up knowledge.

Fuzzy are plants that have a lot of trichomes are originally from deserts plus are plants that have a bulbous base must only be dunked and never soaked. Even the smoother green ones that I do so look for a half hour I shake all of them out upside and allow them to dry for 2 hours upside down. The very fuzzy silvery ones like some direct sunlight like from a southern window

I have 2 full baskets air plants hang out door . I spay water every day .

[@mariapennylane]

Tillandsia NEGLECTA??!!!😂 How appropriate since it died of neglect😅

[@stevenwardle6595]

Dave do you change care differently over the seasons? I have airplants that have done great over the spring/summer and then just don't make it through the winter - I suspect cooler temps, dryness and less light might be issues. What do you do?

[@lauriekubas9803]

I’m such a fan, please keep the videos coming. Top notch information .

[@scotmiller9484]

i really like your videos, hope you make more air plants videos and share your experiences .

[@mellewedin8221]

Beyond love that room your sitting in! Such beautiful plants in every inch of it❤

[@nm2795]

Ugh I accidentally killed one. Like a dummy I was trying to pull a dead leaf. And we’ll not the brightest move. So thank u so much for sharing ur knowledge with me. I love plants and my 9yr and I just got our first air plants. I’m so grateful it was mine that I liked and not his. He set up his little jar and his r doing beautiful. All mine r ok but the one. I won’t do that again

[@mauravandehey6584]

Thank you! Keep making videos please! Luv learning about air plants!

[@Felyne1987]

❤Thank you for creating this video!❤

[@curlsbynat9763]

Hi, Dave, love the video. I have a question about Tillandsia Xerographica. I gave my plant a good soak I noticed my biggest one had a pinkish hue in the center is that normal? It wasn't there before did I overdo it with the soak😭. How many hours can they soak in the water should they be upside down?

[@akeleven]

Bloom?

[@Professor_McGonagall]

Are you still making videos? You haven't posted for months.

[@marettesimpson9406]

My small air plant produced 2 flowers which wilted because I left the plant in water too long but the plant was saved but never produced Pups. What do you recommend? Thank you

[@meep2576]

I put mine in my fish tank or rainwater so going into the winter does their water have to be warm or can they handle colder water ? I always collect rain water for them.

[@clementine_makes_monsters]

These videos are great. I haven't killed one yet, fingers crossed. Do you ship to the US? How stressed would the plants get?

[@Fun2Cre8]

Mine is dead but I’m not going to throw it away I think it still looks beautiful 😢 BUT now I know what to do for the next one thank you ❤

[@motatwo]

just bought spanish moss, wanted to make a kind of curtain with it in my carnivorous grow tent, after doiing it, i realised the wind from the ventilator is right on it....i got scared that it would dry out as when i spray it, it dry in less than 30 seconds...my tent has average 80% humidity, is it ok for then to be constantly blown by the ventilator or should prevent the constant wind on them? and can i make them grow horizontally on a 2x4 wooden shelf?

[@akeleven]

They probably appreciate a slight breeze if it's not dry and hot.

[@diananore1368]

Hope you are still loving your plants. Very helpful video❤

[@crystalkinson4915]

Great video. Thank you.

[@shelbydibble4182]

Hi there! Thank you for the great vid! I do have a question! If my child tore out the inside couple leaves of my air plant, will it grow new leaves still? Thank you!

[@beckycantrell5547]

I wish someone would answer this. Same here.

[@akeleven]

The center is the growing part so if it's gone, it won't grow but it might produce pups.

[@helenelemoine7757]

Danke Dave , du erklärst alles so gut und zeigst es auch an den Pflanzen, ich freue mich sehr auf deine Videos. ❤🙏

[@huskieize]

Im giving my air plants first time deep soak…and its root came off! Is this the end of it? Can i still revive it?

[@tuyetvo4353]

I spay water twice a day. I keep 2 full baskets air plants out door.

[@akeleven]

They don't need the route they just use it to attach to something

[@Rush2KPK]

Mine is dead for sure, it's upper leaves look green but the core is pitch black. I don't know what to do about it😢

[@akeleven]

He said it might get pups. Remove the center and Wait and see.
