Although they don't need soil, they do need a certain amount of water and light. To water them, submerge the plants in a bowl of cool water about once a week. Let them soak in the water for approximately 20 minutes and then let them dry upside down on a towel. Also, mist them well once every couple weeks. Misting has several benefits including helps mimic the humidity they would find in nature.
Place your air plants indoors in a bright room where they receive indirect light. Protect air plants from temps lower than 45 degrees; they love warmth.

As far as styling them, you can do so much with air plants! Place them grouped together in a shallow bowl on a table, place them in an open terrarium (remember, they need circulating air), attach them to a decorative piece of wood- get creative with how you style yours!
