How should I water my plant Herby? ļæ¼ #AirPlant

Air plant care?? Hello, Iām new to air plants! I just got this āTillandsia lonanthaā last weekend, but the seller didnāt have much to tell me as far as how to take care of it (other than soaking it in water for 30 minutes every couple of weeks or so). I filled that little dish itās sitting in with water and let it sit in there for a whileāis that sufficient, or should I completely submerge it in water? I also included pictures of what the bottom of the plant looks like. Are those the roots? Are they dead?? Is my brand new plant already doomed?? I also have another air plant (last 2 pictures)ānot sure exactly what kind it isāthat Iāve had for a couple of weeks. I havenāt done anything to it (itās glued into that egg base), and itās been fine, until today I noticed some brown spots on it. What do I do next??

My direction said to water it soak in water for 20 minutes does that sound right about 1 time a week # #AirPlant
