Care guide

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun, especially through hot glass.
• Watering: Begin with a 20–30-minute soak in room-temperature water about once a week, adjusting to your home's humidity, temperature, and drying conditions. Supplemental misting may help in dry rooms but should not leave the base persistently wet.
• Drying and airflow: Gently shake out excess water and dry upside down or on its side with good airflow. Allow it to dry completely within a few hours before returning it to its display.
• Soil and display: No soil is needed. Choose a stable open holder or mount that supports the tall plant without burying or tightly enclosing its base. Avoid sealed terrariums and standing water.
• Temperature and humidity: Aim for approximately 50–80°F, protect from frost, and keep away from strong heating or cooling drafts. Monitor hydration more closely in dry rooms while maintaining thorough drying.
• Feeding: If desired, use fertilizer labeled for air plants according to its dilution and application directions. Avoid overfeeding.
• Pruning: Gently remove fully dried leaves. Trim dry tips only as needed, preserving healthy growth.
• Repotting: Conventional repotting is unnecessary. Move to a more spacious, stable holder as the plant grows.
• Propagation: Mature plants may produce offsets, particularly around flowering. Leave them attached for a clump, or separate well-developed pups carefully without damaging the parent.

Pet safety: Tillandsia Juncea is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. This is an ornamental plant, not food.
