Plant Care & Growing Tips

While these lavender sea urchin shells are not living plants themselves, they are designed to house and complement air plants (Tillandsia). Proper care of your air plant will ensure it thrives within its beautiful air plant holder. Air plants are epiphytes, meaning they absorb water and nutrients through their leaves, not roots from soil. Therefore, they do not need to be planted in soil within the sea urchin shell. Instead, they simply rest inside or are gently secured.

For optimal air plant health, place your air plant holder in an area receiving bright, indirect light. Direct, harsh sunlight can scorch their leaves. A north or east-facing window is often ideal, or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. Humidity is also crucial for air plants. If your home is dry, consider misting your air plant 2-3 times a week. The primary watering method for most air plants is soaking. Remove the air plant from its lavender sea urchin shell and submerge it in a bowl of room-temperature water for 20-30 minutes once a week. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and allow the plant to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before returning it to the shell. This prevents rot. Ensure no water is trapped in the shell itself, as this can lead to mold or damage.

Temperature-wise, air plants prefer typical indoor temperatures, generally between 50-90°F (10-32°C). Avoid extreme cold or heat. Fertilization is not strictly necessary but can encourage blooming and growth. Use a bromeliad or air plant-specific fertilizer diluted to ¼ strength once a month during spring and summer. When choosing your air plant to pair with this sea urchin for air plants, consider the plant’s mature size to ensure it fits comfortably within the 1-3 inch shell. Regular observation of your air plant will help you understand its specific needs and ensure it continues to be a vibrant part of your natural shell decor.
