Air Plants

Airplants (Tillandsia) 

Airplants, also known as Tillandsia, are some of the most fascinating plants you can add to your home or workspace. 

Unlike traditional plants, they don’t need soil to grow – instead, they absorb water and nutrients through their leaves. This makes them low-maintenance, versatile, and perfect for creative displays. 

Why Choose Airplants?

Standard Care Guide

Light: Bright, indirect sunlight.

Water: Mist 2–3 times a week, or soak in water for 20 minutes every 1–2 weeks.

Airflow: Allow plants to dry fully after watering to avoid rot.

Temperature: Thrive in warm, indoor conditions.

Tips:

Always use rainwater or distilled water with 10% of tap water (Malta tap water is too hard/salty).

Shake off excess water after soaking.

Ensure plants dry within 4 hours to prevent rot.

Fertilize once a month (March–October) with diluted bromeliad/orchid fertilizer.

Styling Ideas

Place in decorative glass terrariums.

Attach to driftwood or coral for a natural look.

Use in hanging planters for a floating effect.

Combine with your aquascapes and fishroom designs for a living art display.
