I bought an air plant from a garden centre a couple of months ago, and, being new to them (I'd never even heard of them and thought they were fake!), I didn't have a clue what to do except follow instructions on the internet, which just complicated things because they were so contradictory.

The main question is really about air flow. How do I know whether it is getting enough air flow? I noticed a few days ago that the leaves were turning brown and curling up, so I gave it a bath for a about 10 minutes in rain water. However, I am still worried about it. As the bottom of it is in a jar (I've added stones to it, but I'm still not sure if it's raised enough) and I keep moving it around my bedroom trying to find the best place for it, I'm stuck. Right now, it is above my bed, directly next to a west facing window, which is open as much as I can (but as I live in Britain, and we have winters that baffle meteorologists, not to mention the summers!) I will not be able to have it open for much longer until next April. Maybe we'll have a mild Winter this year (I wish).

Thanks!
