Air plant blooming - Part 2

5. No direct sunlight

They don't like direct sunlight for hours at a time. If you have a sunny windowsill that will get sun for an hour in the morning, that's fine, but they tend to like indirect light. As for watering, the best way is to fill a bowl with water, put them in the bowl with the roots up, sticking out of the top (they absorb water through the leaves) and leave them there for at least an hour or as much as two. If you didn't get the root area wet, they can go right back in a container, otherwise let them dry off. The watering can be done about once every 10 days or so. Don't spritz *and* soak, that's too much, and not on a daily basis. If they need water, the ends of the leaves will turn brown, but yours may already be in that shape... They really are easy, once you find a suitable place for them. Good Luck!
