Review: Very helpful Air Plant care book. - My first Xerographica plant, I thought there was no way that I could accidentally kill it. I was -wrong-! My first mistake was, I did a lot of reading online, which I thought ok, I know what I need to know. Little did I know, that what a plant owner does in Arizona, will -not- work in more humid states, when caring for an Air Plant. So sadly after my first air plant died, I went onto desertcart looking for the best selling Air Plant care book's, to figure out what I did wrong. This book was highly recommended, and I'm so happy I purchased it. Through this book I have learned the proper way to care for Air Plants, what I did wrong, and how to make my new Xerographica Air Plant more stronger and to grow as well. I highly recommend this Air Plant book for my fellow new Air Plant owners. 😊🌵 Review: Ok - Lots of information

Awesome info!
This book is exactly what I wanted! It has an A to Z index with pictures and care instructions for different types of airplants! This book has changed my airplant game!!! I’ve had airplants for years and have only succeeded in keeping a few kinds alive. Now, months after getting this book, every one of my airplants is thriving and shooting out babies! This book doesn’t cover every type of tillandsia, but it covers the common ones. A must-buy for anyone that doesn’t want to keep wasting money buying airplants that aren’t gonna survive

Pretty Good Book
Seems like most of the air plant info I read has conflicting information, so I'm not sure if the care advice in this book is spot on or not. What I do know is that it has a very thorough section on the types of air plants with photos of each and many beautiful display photos.
