How to fertilize Medusa Head Air Plant

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Medusa Head Air Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I have previously posted about water (particularly distilled water for eg carnivorous plants and other mineral-sensitive plants) and came across this article which looks at similar issues about drinking water as our plants aren't the only ones that need healthy water choices. https:// #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #propagationstation #newgrowth #greggang #plantmafia #water #h2o #theamigos #seymour

What other plant parents say











an air plant is very easy to have because it doesn’t involve much water and if you forget to water it, it will be fine. What i do is soak the tips of the plant in water for 10 minutes and then let it hang upside down to dry. I was told not to let any water get inside the base of the plant because otherwise it can start rotting. Because of this, the watering process is somewhat of a hassle, but the plant is so cute and unique so it’s worth it.






easy to understand if overwatered or underwatered! it’s really cute and stuff tho, the only negative is that it browns easily when underwatered. soaking for 30mins-1hour should alleviate it. also cutting off the brown ends with sterilized shears/scissors is also good
