How to fertilize Tillandsia 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 Tillandsia Air Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
