How to care for Capillaris
How often to water your Capillaris

Finding light for Capillaris in your home
Capillaris love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Capillaris does not tolerate low-light 🚫.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Capillaris in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Capillaris
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 Capillaris after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is it normal for a Pink Quill Plant to turn green? My Pink quill plant was a vibrant pink color when I got it, but only a week or so after I got it it turned green. It still appears to be very healthy it’s just changing colors. Is this normal? Is there anything I need to do to help it? #HappyPlants #PinkQuill

Browning on my air plant? So I’ve had this air plant for a nearly two months and I think he’s doing fine, but recently I’ve noticed the end of some of the tendrils turning brown, and growth has massively slowed (although it is winter). Any clues what this could be? I mist infrequently, especially now that it’s winter, but it’s set next to a dish of water and two other plants of mine #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #TillandsiaXerographica #AirPlant #help #WinterIsComing #misting

#airplant It's my 1st ever air plant. It was so unique I had to get while I was grocery shopping, lol. I dunked his head in water and let him be. I'm guessing. Any suggestions are appreciated.

My airplant set up, I used foraged moss and other things to fill in some space, and made some clay mushrooms! 🍄 I’ve had this terrarium for a while and this is my favorite set up so far. 🌿✨😊 #AirPlant #Terrarium #Moss #mossgarden #Epiphytes #Tillandsia #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #FreshLeafFriday #FreshFeaturedFriday #DIYPlanter #diy #dishgardens #fairygarden
