Irrigation Giant airplantTenere asciutto
Let's remember to empty the plant saucers after watering, to avoid that stagnant water could damage the roots. Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water .

Care Giant airplant
These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The Giant airplant Is medium in size; in spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a orangegreen colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. The Giant airplant is a perennial herb plant.

Temperatures Giant airplantPosizione mezza ombra
We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day. Let's position the plants where they can enjoy a good source of light,yet avoiding direct sunshine, which could cause antiaesthetic burnings on the foliage.These plants don't like cold temperatures, therefore in the spring it is best to place them outside only when temperatures are above 15°C.
