So… I just rinsed off one of my air plants that looked totally fine in the shower, came into my room to shake off anymore excess water and hang it up to dry infront of a fan. Then It just fell off the base and completely came off piece by piece. White fungus at base of every leaf. I swore I shook after every watering. Left infront of fan upside down, and somehow it still rotted?! All my other airplants are fine as well!
Was fun while it lasted I guess…. 😕

I’m sorry 🙁 That happened to me years ago- I think the rot with mine started because they got too cold (it was winter and my college roommate left the window open while I was gone over a weekend). The next time I watered them (about a week after the window was left open), ALL of them (5 plants total) completely fell apart. It was so sad!
I’ve had a lot of mine do this recently, even with shaking them and leaving them upside down. I figure I’m going to just soak the tips for the next few times and see what happens.
