What is Tillandsia used for?
Scientists have found that Tillandsia and numerous other plants can remove mild airborne contaminants and chemicals from the air. Plants can even help you get over a sickness like a cold faster, since they filter airborne contaminants, like dust, from the air. Watering Your Air Plants Thoroughly wet your Tillandsia a couple times per week; more often in a hot, dry environment and less often in a cool, humid one.Tip: Tillandsia don’t love to be handled. Besides our clumsy hands snapping the occasional leaf, the oils in our fingers actually clog the air plant’s sensitive leaves. All Airplantman designs keep this in mind so that it is easy to give your Tillandsia the water it needs without touching it directly!But there’s more: they are known and appreciated for their ability to purify the air! In fact, Tillandsia can be considered a real ‘plant hoover’ because it captures dust particles in the air, thus helping to keep the home environment cleaner and healthier.Tillandsia (airplant) Air plants symbolize freedom and creativity. The Air Plant has a unique shape to it and its color breathes life into any room. Because of their ability to thrive out of the soil, they also represent freedom and are great for people who live to move frequently or travel.Tillandsias are forgiving indoor plants if given adequate amounts of light and water. They do best with bright, indirect light, preferably in an east or west-facing window.
