Yes, your air plant will get bigger, but growth rate and size depend on the species and environmental conditions. To encourage growth, ensure it receives bright, indirect sunlight, adequate air circulation, and regular waterings by soaking it in water for about 20-30 minutes weekly. Fertilizing with a bromeliad fertilizer according to package instructions can also promote growth. However, be patient as air plants grow slowly and maintaining optimal care is key to seeing your air plant thrive and increase in size over time.
