Do you put these Air Plants in water?

Not all the time. Air plants do require a good soak 3-4 times a week depending on how dry your house is and a misting every day. But no, don't place them in water at all times other wise they'll rot. The general rule of thumb is to make sure they're dry after misting or soaking in four hours time.

Certainly. There is a rubber plug in the bottom that will control water dripping out. I put another plant down there to catch the drips. Probably great for herbs over the winter. They are really a nice height and size. I wouldn't have space indoors for this so hope you do. Happy gardening.

Hi Jamie, I never thougth of placing them in water with lemon. What a great idea. I just soaked one in water and it seems to hold up well. So I would say yes. Deb

No. You soak the top section in water. It'll hold enough water to keep the flowers alive.

I put them in potting soil in a shallow container. They don't need much water and do fine in just a few hours of sun. I bought them for floral arrangements last summer and didn't use them all. I still have them and they look great!

I don't see how. The pressure of the water rotates the small plastic part the water goes through. I love them though. They do a great job for their size. I add more each year for yard and flowers. They don't damage the flowers. I have used them now for about 6 years.

There is a wall panel for these, and they come with screws for the wall. So you screw in the back panel and hang the front from it. You have to screw them into studs or use appropriate anchors to mount them, as they can be heavy. As for the water, they don't drip at all if they're properly installed! They are great indoors. I notice that if I water them the wrong way (pour water over the plants rather than pour it into the holes in the top), they drip from the front a little. The wall behind the planter, however, is always dry.

No, you are better having it fully submerged. The bubbles will help circulate air into the water.

They're air plants, so you don't plant them. Stick them about anywhere out of direct sunlight and mist daily or more. Great for bathrooms where they'll get a lot of steam.

Yes, soak them and then run your fingers down them to squeeze out the excess water. They work great!

No, drain the initial water out & then refill it. You do NOT want stagnant water in your sprouts. The whole point is to rinse them. Hope that helps. :)

You don't plant these. They are a type of lichen that do not need to be planted. I have mine placed in fancy seashell display and in small tea candle glasses. Spray them with mist 1x per week, or set them in bottled water for 1 hour 1x per week (even 2x's per month!) These plants do not nee a lot of water and no soil. They are easy to care for and make a nice display. In the bathroom they get plenty of mist from the shower so don't need to be watered!

They are doing fine as long as you don't over water them. I prefer misting them with rain water in between small weekly waterings.

I answered before. Let me expand on my "no". I gave my plants water and air, and kept them in indirect light. Both died; can't understand why.

No, I would not use water on them... But you can take clipper oil and and use it to clean the blades.

Yes you sure can! For as long as needed!.. Even after u drain excess water, they remain moist enough for fresh flowers for many days..

You can put it practically anywhere. Some people hang them on fishing line from the ceiling, or against a wall, etc. You can glue or wire them to an open picture frame with other air plants and moss to create "living art." You can glue a magnet to the back (albeit a large one) and hang it on the fridge or magnet board with other smaller air plants. I have mine in a multi-cubed glass terrarium with other air plants and white stones. These plants are super versatile, so you can get pretty creative.
