    Hi there! Do you have any specific question, or are you just looking for some general tips? If it’s the latter, you should know from the start that airplants, like pretty much any other plant, love light, water and good ventilation. You can grow them either indoors or outside, and they will thrive and give you flowers and/or pups if you do everything right. When it comes to light, it’s usually recommended to expose them to bright but indirect sunlight for 6+ hours; as for water, most people here prefer to soak them for a few hours, then shake them vigorously while keeping them upside down and finally putting them back to their mounts after a few hours, when * completely * dried. Personally, I like to spray my airplants instead of soaking or dunking them, but that’s just my preference: any watering method is fine as long as the plants seem to thrive. Rot is absolutely their main killer, so it’s imperative to keep your airplants near a window or a small fan, and to always, always make sure there’s no residual water or wetness left on them. Please, keep in mind that care tips may vary a lot based on the specific plant type we’re considering, but as a rule of thumb everything I mentioned kind of works…I mean, hopefully! : ) Let me know if you have any additional questions, I’ll do my best to help you!
