How much sunlight does my kalanchoe need?

In general, it needs to be in bright sun, although hot, searing sun may be too much. If it's indoors, don't put it anymore than 3 feet away from a window.

How should I water my kalanchoe?

For indoors succulents, I generally suggest watering them from the bottom, like filling a baking tray full of water, setting the pot in it, and allowing the water to soak up until it's moist at the top. That ensures that all of the roots are getting saturated without getting the actual leaves wet.

How much light do air plants need?

A lot of people think that air plants don't need a lot of natural light, but they actually need a lot of bright, filtered sun. If you have a north-facing or east-facing window, I suggest keeping your air plant within 3 feet of the window. If your windows face South or West, you can keep the plant a little further away so they don't get a sunburn—maybe 3-7 feet.
