Plant Care 

Please see below for tips and tricks for caring for you new friend. 

Airplants

Place airplants in filtered, indirect light preferably within 6 feet of a bright window. Airplants may burn in direct sunlight. NOTE: Can be placed in a north or east facing window.

Since airplants take in their nutrients through their leaves it is important to thoroughly soak your plant every 1-2 weeks in temperate water (more often in hot, dry environments and less in cool, humid ones). Let your plant dry out completely upside down and then place back in the terrarium.

Alternatively, you can either mist or sprinkle a few drops of water on the plant weekly in dry environments. And by misting your plant it will help raise humidity in the glass.

Light: Bright light, avoid too much direct sun.

Tip: When watering your terrarium use a turkey baster or eye dropper to control the amount of water and not disturb the landscape.

Water: The amount of water varies depending on the size of airplant.

Cactus and Succulents 

CaWater lightly only after it gets dry once every 3-4 weeks, depending on conditions.

NEVER OVERWATER! The key is to watch your plant closely until you understand it’s drying pattern. Too much watering can be worse for the plants than too little. Place in a bright area; some direct sunlight is fine. You should have enough light to read by. When the plants get as big as you want, pinch off the newest growth to encourage bushier growth. Water at the base of the plant and not the leaves because they can easily rot.

Avoid fertilizer. As the nutrients get used up the plant’s growth will slow down, helping to keep them under control.

Light: Bright light, with direct sun.

Tropicals

Water lightly only after it gets dry once every week or two, depending on conditions.

NEVER OVERWATER! The key is to watch your plant closely until you understand it’s drying pattern. Feel the soil about an inch or so near a plant, if the soil is damp, it isn’t time to water yet. Too much watering can be worse for the plants than too little. Place in a bright area, but not in direct sunlight. You should have enough light to read by. When the plants get as big as you want, pinch off the newest growth to encourage bushier growth.

Light: Bright light, with no direct sun.

Water: The amount of water varies depending on the size of tropical plant.
