The tufted airplant genus, part of the Bromeliaceae family, typically requires moderate lighting, regular water, average room temperature, and loose, well-drained soil. Common challenges include mealybugs and scale insects, susceptibility to leaf rot, and sensitivity to harsh sunlight and over-fertilization. With seasonal adjustments, tufted airplants need high humidity during summer and reduced watering in winter. Overall, thoughtful placement, careful watering, and season-aware care help these tropical beauties thrive.
