The long, thin foliage of the Juncifolia Red Air Plant is a deep green color and may develop a blush or dark purple hue, depending on the amount of light received. The wispy foliage provides texture, while the subtle reddish hue adds an unexpected pop of color. Air plants are unique because they grow without soil. Perch this plant on a shelf or desk, or suspend it from a hanger to create a stunning visual element.
Best Locations For Growing Juncifolia Red Air Plant
The Juncifolia Red Air Plant is easy to grow and can handle most conditions, but it thrives in humid areas, making it a good choice for bathrooms or kitchens. The wispy foliage and unique habit make this plant intriguing, so it may be best to place it up high away from curious little ones.
Juncifolia Red Air Plant Sunlight Requirements
Low indirect light is best for the Juncifolia Red Air Plant. This air plant can handle direct sunlight early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun is not as intense.
Juncifolia Red Air Plant Care
Juncifolia Red Air Plants are hardy and low maintenance, but a few care requirements are necessary for this beauty to thrive. Juncifolia Red Air Plant requires frequent misting. Additionally, place this plant in an area with good airflow to reduce the chance of rot. Avoid unnecessarily handling the plant. It can be tempting to inspect the air plant and look at the grass-like foliage, but overhandling increases the odds of breaking the foliage, and oil from your skin can damage the plant.
Watering Juncifolia Red Air Plant
Misting daily or every other day is the most common way to water Juncifolia Red Air Plants. Other watering methods include submerging the entire plant in water a couple of times during the week or allowing the plant to soak in water for an hour or two each week.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
