Care Instructions

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some direct morning sun but protect from harsh afternoon rays.

Water: Unlike most plants, xerographica absorbs moisture through its leaves, not roots. Submerge completely in water for 20-30 minutes every 1-2 weeks (less frequently in winter). Allow to dry completely upside down after soaking to prevent rot.

Environment: Prefers good air circulation and moderate humidity. Tolerates drier conditions better than most air plants.

Fertilizer: Apply diluted air plant fertilizer monthly during growing season for optimal health.
