After this winter (not a lot of sun) i noticed that my air plant is not as green as it used to be but it’s very difficult to tell if it’s dead or not. If it’s not, what is the best way to revive it to its former glory?
Spray it down, that gives you a better indication of color and they like a good drink sometimes

Spanish moss should be more of a sagey green color when it’s wet. Post a picture of it wetted down. Sometimes it can come back, sometimes not. But you almost always have some green pieces to start over with. It’s just hard to tell when it’s dry.
*Do you keep it indoors?

Unpopular opinion: there are 3 types of air plants.
I currently can’t think of the names lol sorry.
Desert type, rainforest type, swamp type.
Edit: looked it up. Xeric, mesic, hydric
The swamp type (spanish moss etc) like to be wet a lot more than the other 2 species. (This is the category type that some people debate not being real. Though it does get mentioned in some literature.)
