Beacon comes from Maryland, where the Chesapeake Bay has been guiding travelers home for generations.
By day, his air plant gives him a wild coastal crown. At night, his built-in LED light glows through his lighthouse windows, turning him into a tiny beacon of his own.
Light
Bright indirect light. Near a window is perfect. Avoid direct afternoon sun.
Water
Mist 1–2 times per week, or soak for 20 minutes every 1–2 weeks. Shake off excess water.
Air
Good airflow is essential. Never leave sitting in standing water — they need to dry out between waterings.
Temperature
Happy between 50–90°F. Keep away from cold drafts and heating vents.
Fertilizer
Optional but helpful. Use bromeliad or air plant fertilizer once a month for faster growth and blooms.
Signs of happiness
Vibrant color, upright leaves, new growth from center. A happy air plant may even bloom!
