I do the one hr soak 1x/wk and dry them thoroughly but they still get moldy. What am I doing wrong?
Hanging Urchin with Air Plant
Air Plants - Tillandsia
I've lost a lot of air plants to mold. I make sure they are dry before replacing them in their holders but they still die. Also, I want to put them in those shells and hang them but do I have to take them out each week when I soak them and then put them back? I really love the look but I am getting frustrated because they keep dying on me!

Increasing the amount of light helps fight mold and may be just what your plants need. You could also try misting your plants thoroughly 3x a week instead of soaking them once a week. That would help them dry even faster. That second tip goes double if your house is naturally humid or you're using a swamp cooler.
