How often should it be watered a) after I receive it and b) after it is mature?

I would say depending on how often it has rained, I would water it at least once a week. check on it though, if it looks as though it needs water more often than that then I would water it twice a week instead. make sure that it is well established in the area that you decide, or have already decided to plant it at. I hope that this helps you out. thank you very much, rennea Esposito burgess. 863-683-8711. I have one of these myself. it is very little. about 10 inches tall. I think in the beginning you may want to water it a little more, but just do not over water it. thanks again, rennea. I hope that you have the very best of luck with it. they are very beautiful vines. rennea.

well if it has been planted in this area for at least 6 months, this should be enough time for the plant to be well established. good luck, thank you for emailing me. your friend, rennea. 863-683-8711.

I kept it in the box, as delivered, two days after it arrived. I pulled it, and all the packing peanuts out to make sure it had enough water. But then put it back for the two day drive to my sister's. I wouldn't expose it to extreme temps, but it was well watered and hearty.

I would go with 2. Depending on what you are growing as to what color temperature. I had the best results using one cool white and one warm white and rotating the plants around every 3 - 4 days. Great product for the price!!

Depends on what you are watering. I put an emitter at each plant and control the amt of water at each with a different sized (color) emitter.

At start up mine needs water about every 18 hours. Once the humidity has risen, it needs water about every 36 hours.

I started out 3 yrs ago with 3 small/3" stems and put them in dirt. They are inside in a very sunny window. They do not like to be overwatered. Once every 3 weeks seems good. Spring seems to be a slow growth period. I gave cut my long limbs/8" and repotted. A few died. They are tricky. When healthy the produce small red flowers. I enjoy all the succulents but crown of thorns is not easy

While it is full. Give it a squirt every time after you use the pump especially when you store the pump for the winter

Unless you got it gift wrapped, go ahead and take it out and let it get some sunlight and water it. If you don't want to do that, just give it to her early.

Um....the directions stated to put in rain water when I received my air plant. But I don't see the harm in it since it only needs to be watered once a month. As long as the person receiving it waters it ASAP.

It depends on how much water you originally put in the actual plant. You should water the plant every well first, then add the globe and it can last up to 2 weeks.If the plant is dry.... the globe will empty almost immediately.

I thoroughly watered first, but I had effective drainage. Mine were more or less dry when they arrived.

I turn on soaker hoses for about 6 hours at a time. For young trees, I'd never let the ground dry out. For established trees about once a month through the summer. I use very heavy mulching over the soaker hoses, so I can get away with watering my veggies once a week as needed. Getting seeds started you can't worry about water conservation. They need to be moist.

I also didn't receive any instructions with the purchase. I looked up suggestions on google. This is what I've found, I sprinkle/spray water on my plants once a week. The suggestions said less than that however it is incredibly dry in my apartment so they are requiring it more frequently. When I planted them I made sure that they had a great drainage system (rocks in the very bottom with topsoil above that).

If you received an airplant, which it looks like you did, then once a week let it soak in a cup of water for 20-30 minutes, tap the water off and put it back into the glass ball. They like indirect sun (east facing window is nice), so hang it on a pretty ribbon in the window and that's it. Very easy care.

not every time,we water daily too. I have re-applied about every two to three weeks. This stuff is awesome. The only reason I have a garden is this. I wish I could just buy a fox and tie him up to the fence, but this is the next best thing!

No just water it regularly. There are times that I completely forget to water it for weeks and it still never yellows or dies. I love this plant.

It's a tropical plant and needs warm, humid air and bright sunlight. If you are shorting it on those, then the plant will struggle to recover from the stress of shipping and could die. Once it is healthy it can withstand more. What it needs most of all is warm sunlight (southern exposure) and to be well watered while recovering. If you short it on any of those it will struggle to survive. If you are keeping it very warm in a very sunny place and watering it well, then just give it time, and it should start to perk up.
