They are frequently simply referred to as tillandsias. These plants are diverse in terms of hues, forms, and sizes.

They should not be left in the heat for more than a few hours, although they do appreciate bright, indirect, or filtered sunlight. Watering air plants should be done one to three times a week, preferably by soaking them in a water bath for thirty minutes. In between waterings, they may also be sprayed with a spray bottle.

They may be cultivated in a glass sphere, strewn on a surface, or hung on the wall.

Air plants are surface-mountable, in contrast to other types of plants. Specialized air plant holders that come with wire holders for air plants to sit on are available for purchase.
