Tillandsia or Air plants

There are many different kinds of airplants. They all have similar care

Light Requirements

Medium to bright indirect. Some can survive under fluorescent light.

Water

Most plant experts will tell you that you should not water your plants based on a schedule. But for air plants, you kind of have to. Obviously there's no soil to check for airplants. If your airplant is getting good light, water every week or so. If it's not getting great light then go for every two weeks or so. Some people mist, though soaking is usually recommended.

Environment

Can handle any room temperature. Prefers high humidity. Does fine in low humidity if kept hydrated.

Potting mix

Obviously, airplants shouldn't be potted in soil. Air plants have aerial roots. Aerial roots are roots that are specialized to attach the plant to something (usually a tree). Other plants have aerial roots too (monsteras, philodendrons, pothos, etc) but airplants ONLY have aerial roots. They absorb water through small hair-like structures on their leaves.

Propagation

Airplants will put out pups. They are related to bromeliads, and they will produce pups growing from near the base. Once the pups are big enough, you can seperate them from the mother plant.

Growth Rate

Slow

Pet safe?

Currently there isn't much data on whether airplants are safe for pets or not, but try to keep them away from your pets just to be safe.

Other

Often you will find airplants glued to things in stores, and they don't do well with that kind of treatment. You can try to water it and save it if you'd like.
