- Here's my collection of air plants and how I care for them. There are many different kinds so they're fun to collect!

i once lost my air plant for two weeks. i found it in a bucket of water outside. honestly its never looked better. it probably preferred the unforgiving slow drowning of a cold bucket of water then my loving embrace. so many tears
Love how you respect your airplants....you can tell when you stated "I move them around so they don't get jealous"....I laughed out loud because I do the same thing!! Thank you for sharing!!
" i try to rotate which ones get to go up here so that they dont get jealous" 😂😂 you are so cute! I do the same that is why i loved that part.
@GlockWiseSB And you're super jealous, honey^^. Don't be, get laid, you'd be happier^^.
I adore how you talk to / about your plants. Someday my plant family will be as big and happy as yours
Absolutely wonderful shots, the macro and the underwater ones! 💖
love how you're so nice to them. treating them like your babies
I love how they change colour after being watered. beautiful plants
I have watched many air plant care & tips videos and yours is by far the BEST in my opinion!!
I have never heard of air plants before. This is amazing. I'm so glad I found your video...thanks for the new found knowledge! I'm going to buy a couple.
I love that big guy and how you have your plants arranged. Thanks for sharing.
+Gardening at Douentza Thank you! Do you own any air plants?
+House Plant Journal Sure. I have about 7 of them. They are great.
your video is super helpful and informative. thanks to you I have 9 air plants that are still alive and thriving after 2 months. I've shared your video a few times with folks on the orchid forum asking about air plants. 😊
They all look like happy plants. Thanks for the video
Awesome under water view!!
The best airplant care video I’ve seen thank you !
Love your way of explaining things Darryl! Thank you
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for sharing! I used air plants in a landscaping project in the Turks and Caicos. They grow wild and get really big there. It was amazing to see them in the wild.
2:07 "...But in the wild -shows picture of a plant store I've seen them grow bigger..." BWAHAHA!1!2!1! Great video!
i love this video. super helpful. also your commentary is quite charming.
I'm in love with these plants!!!!!!
great video, love the camera shots
Great video quality and content! Love how
you used the GoPro in the sink!
+Michael Maltese agree :D :D love the way u filmed it
+Michael Maltese Thank you! Yeah, that's one of the first ideas that came to mind when I bought it!
+Giovanni Orchids Killer Thank you! I wish I could understand your videos!!!
Michael Maltese i
i mist mine on Sunday and Tuesday night of every week and that's seems to work better then my last failed attempts, but after seeing your Medusa I am definitely going to get one. Great video and camera work!! ☺☺
Thanks for sharing...
Nice display
Thanks for the video. You have a great way presenting things
nice relaxing + informative video, thanx for the info , mine arrived yesterday , love them already, lol
Thank you for the upload. Great info. Love the simple to follow narration and how-to. New sub here.
oh my God I love your videos.... very inspiring
Beautiful ! Thank you , very informative. 🤗🤗🤗
i keep mine by my kitchen sink and mist them with a spray bottle whenever i remember/walk by. i've had great success and they've been alive for almost 4 years. i never have heard of the submerging method and it was definitely very interesting to see how you do it!! great video!
I was thinking wether spraying them worked or not, it’s way more easy!
Nice collection.
Such a brilliant video and great info :-D thanks so much for sharing XXXX
Great Video! Thanks for all the great info lol.
LOVED THIS!
I submerged my Tillandsia Xerographica (big guy) and afterwards I even tried drying it out with a blow drier and left it upside down for a while but it started rotting :C
I found out because today I tried vaporizing it and the leaves weren't turning green as usual, but the tips were yellowish, softer and weak.
I submerged it because I thought it was looking too dry but achieved the opposite effect, avoid submerging your xerographica!
Its base is different from other air plants and it is easier for water to remain inside it.
Only vaporize it every now and then with mineral water..
I tried removing all the rotten leaves from the base and the inside seems still green and healthy but it's very weak and I'm not sure it will recover. I hope it gets better.
I love airplants and your channel! love it!
😃😋
Just found you and realize you don’t upload anymore. Loved the videos.
My tallansia is in a pot with moss, I keep it outside in a bright shaded area and leave it out in the rain. I’m a first time owner and I love this plant
Great tips!!!! Thank you!!
Wow, your house must be so happy- feeling! Question: do you know what the benefits are for owning an air plant? Other than the obvious: cuteness!
Just ordered my first : nice video: helpful
Great vid!
this was an awesome video!
+daublex2388 Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
thanks for the video...I have three airplants and one is looking z but sad...it is very pale and has a pale brown discoloration on the bottom of all the stems..do you think it could be from water sitting in the stem?
What can you do about the dead ends on them? I ask this because last time I trimmed mine off and it ended up making it worse
I follow you on Tumblr and Instagram (with different account names) and I never knew you had a TH-cam channel! Subscribing!
Your videos are really good, when is the next one coming out ?
Great video!! Mahalo!
That's cool. Had no idea...
If you can see a lot of the trichomes, as in if its really silver, does it mean that it's thirsty? I mist them twice a week, and bathe them once a month. Another question is if they get curly, is it bad?
very nice video pretty plants ive searched them in my country but couldnt find by the way are they expencive thanks a lot for inform.
Do they need any special treatment once they av flowered or just leave the bud to do its thing? - wotever that might be
Thanks for sharing
I have about six air plants. I recently bought them. I water them once a week . My question, should the water be warm like room temperature or cold? I enjoy your video. Thank you
It's so wonderful to see you treating the plants as your babies.
I noticed you don't have any Spanish moss. Is it my choice or just lack of opportunity. I as k this bcoz, my Spanish moss seems to be drying out in sections.
If I keep them right by the shower, would the humidity be enough or would I still have to water them
Awww i think I found a plant favorite
Is it true that air pants can’t be around on copper displays??? I recently bought my first air plant and it came with a display that had a copper coil in a piece of driftwood.
Very informative video,thx. Nice piano music at the beginning- Do you know the name of the song?
I was recently gifted an air plant that is partially placed in a shell. I've only misted it so far as I'm worried bathing it in water will collect and create mold in the shell. It is a beautiful display, but I'm not experienced in their care. All the resources I've found are showing plants without displays.
are those like fungi growing on the air plant?
Useful video thanks, but that music was nasty! I wanted to ask if you add any fertilizer to the water process and what you use? Also what about humidity? Thanks
PLEASE make more vids!!!!
I loved this! I do have some questions. The only windows I have are both North-West windows, but the way my apartment building is structured I get mostly filtered light. I have to totally open up my blinds and curtains to make sure my indoor plants get enough light. Do you think air plants could live with this kind of lighting? Also, what other plants do you suggest for a very low light apartment? Please and thank you~ :)
+Karichi Du Soleil Thank you! Exactly how much light is "low light" for you? There are light meter apps for your phone that can help you determine exactly how much light you're getting (I'm going to make a video about that soon). If you're getting around 50-100 foot-candles at the brightest point of the day right at the window, then that's definitely low light. For this situation, I suggest snake plants (many different kinds), pothos, philodendron (several types), and zz plant. Hope this helps :)
Filtered to bright indirect light is fine.
Please do an update on your air plants
Just a tip the xerographic air plant which is the really big one when you water it you should put it upside down in the water :)
And definitely let them all including the xerographica dry upside down or that beautiful air plant is gonna get root rot
👍🏻👍🏻
❤
How would they do fully submerged in a fish tank 247 ? Or half submerged
Here's a tip if you bought any air plants from Lowe's. If they come attached to what looks like moss, it's most likely lichen and lichens are very acidic. So watering both the lichens and air plants attached to each other probably isn't good.
Thanks
Hi Daryl! That’s a v interesting and informative video. Thank you for making it. Can you suggest some places I can get a hold of these plants in NJ, USA??
svce2007 i use to live in south jersey. Try home depot where ever the cactus/succulents are
Alright, will check them out in home depot during spring!
I just bought some Airplants, so of course I've been looking up guides like crazy but-
Then I get to your video and am immediately distracted by the LAMY Safari- I'm assuming It's a Safari at least.
How if the plant have a flkwer how to watering it safe to put in water,?
Lol...they had a long nice bath.
So my bathroom has no windows? Is that a bad place to have them?
what should I do , if I leave for 3 weeks , how can my air plant survive?
Make sure you water them extra long when you get back
I use rainwater and mist once or twice a day.
hello there daryl...how can I properly care of my Tillandsia Stricta? The Tilly that flowers a pinkish spikes with lavender tiny petals? I found its bottom got rotten and its leaves are falling away? And by the way...I found out that they also produce a tiny seeds like alternanthera
+she7 if you already have rot there's not much you can do to reverse it. The best thing to do would be to prevent it: water it thoroughly but be sure to let it dry off completely; make sure it gets BRIGHT indirect light (even a bit of direct sun in the morning is okay)
Thank you :)
lol so they dnt get jealous !
I want more vids please.
Isn't the water supposed to sit for several hours up to twelve hours to make sure the chlorine is dissipated? I use spring water and hope it is OK. No chlorine I guess.
I also read they need 4 hours to dry after shaking excess off. I guess I am going to be doing more work than necessary. Is using daylight Ott light OK? How long do they need the light daily?
where can you buy these at
Use spring water filtered water or rain water if used tap room temperature water leave a few days get rid of the chorine.
Can air plants be kept in the car ?
Any plants that can be kept in a car ?
You can actually water them quite a bit more than once a week, and soaking them for 12+ hours is not going to hurt them! They do not mind fertilizer either.
Nice trichomes. How's the high?
MM420 lmao ✌
Are you not making videos anymore???
I like shower to plants. But sometimes not deep dry die 😭
Dunno about the watering. I suppose most ways won't hurt them (indeed I put two in the water to soak and they look better) but in it's natural environment they are not aquatic plants. They don't go for baths in the rain-forest, they never get immersed in water, so why do that in the domestic care? They get moisture from mist. And presumably also from rain. So I would imagine a better and certainly more authentic way (true to natural conditions) is to give them a shower with a small house plant watering can.
how about making more videos!
What. If they di not get enough light you soak?
They do not like direct light, they like a bright light. And you a re not to soak when they have flowers or buds. Just spray.
You really should make more videos.
I threw them in my aquarium, cos i'm a lazy fuck. Turns out its even beter for them :)
Why did he stop making videos ;(
I’m finding air plants are like potato chips...you can’t have just one (or 5, 8,15, etc.)!
Хорошие сайты
How can you tell the difference? They all look the same
last week i spray water my lovely air plant dry next day.
Ah! So thats why mine rotted inside. Even with care to drain out any standing water, they were watered too late in the day, as im a night owl. So sorry little guys!
How often do u upload?
+Lukes Plants I'm not working on any schedule as it takes me a long time to do the editing. I'm trying for 1-2 videos per month.
