Heat packs are not included automatically: in cold weather (below about 45°F at the destination) add Winter Plant Shipping Protection to your order, and in extreme cold or heat we may hold the order until it is safe to ship — we will let you know. If it arrives dead, severely damaged, or significantly different from the description, email photos of the plant and packaging to info@shopfloridaplant.com within 48 hours of delivery for a full refund or a free replacement ( refund policy ). Give your plant a few days to settle in; minor cosmetic marks from transit are normal. Care and common questions Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal for Tillandsia Air Plant Araujei — near a window is perfect. A little gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh, direct midday sun, which dries them out. Watering: Mist 2–3 times a week, or soak in room-temperature water for 20–30 minutes about once a week. Afterward, shake off excess water and let it dry fully (upside down) within a few hours — water sitting in the center will rot it. Humidity: Enjoys humidity; mist more often in dry air or warm rooms. Temperature: Warm room temperatures; keep it away from frost and hot, dry vents. No soil: Air plants don't grow in soil — display them in a holder, shell, mount, or open terrarium with good airflow. Fertilizer: Optional — a diluted air-plant/bromeliad fertilizer in the water once a month in spring and summer. Air flow: Good airflow after watering is key — never leave it damp in a closed container. Care tip: Curling or soft, wrinkled leaves usually mean it's thirsty — give it a soak; a mushy base means it stayed too wet. How often should I water Tillandsia Air Plant Araujei?
