I have an air plant, it doesnt look good to me but I am clueless on what

it
should be kept in, etc. Can someone help me?


All of the more common air plants (Epiphytes) can grow on any outdoor tree
where they will get enough sun or enough shade depending on what they are
and the occasional free watering from above. They will not tolerate cold

so
if you get frost or snow you should be able to move them indoors.
Go to your local garden center and buy a piece of driftwood. Tie the air
plant to the driftwood with jute or thin sisal twine. Or drill some holes

in
the driftwood and stuff the air plant in the hole. While you're at the
garden center buy a couple more air plants. One plant will get lonely.



Would the air plant do ok just hanging on its own from a string near
sunlight (via window)?

Mine is not growing, seems to be dying in fact. I realize its not a
soil-base plant, just wanted to know anything I can about caring for it.
