Air plants are drought and strong light resistant, but they grow better in warm, humid, sunny, and well-ventilated environments.

 

Propagation of air plants is mainly through division, and they can also be propagated by seeds.

 

With their unique shapes, air plants are excellent ornamental foliage plants for home cultivation. Some varieties even bear fruit the size of peanut kernels, which are highly ornamental and suitable for cultivation and viewing on balconies and windowsills. Air plants absorb formaldehyde and benzene compounds during the day and carbon dioxide at night, making them a very environmentally friendly plant.

Light

 

Varieties with gray leaves, more white scales, and thicker and harder scales require stronger light, while varieties with greener leaves, fewer scales, and softer scales are more shade-tolerant. Indoor cultivation should place air plants in a place with bright light; insufficient light can cause the plant to grow weak and thin.

 

• Water

Air plants can be sprayed with a spray bottle 2 to 3 times a week, and once a day during the dry season. When spraying, ensure that the leaves are completely wet, but be careful not to let water accumulate in the center of the leaves. If there is too much water, you can turn the plant upside down to let the excess water drain out.

• Fertilizer

In artificial cultivation environments, you can use a mixture of flower fertilizer or dihydrogen potassium phosphate with urea, diluted with water at a ratio of 1000 times, and spray it once a week. You can also immerse the plant in a nutrient solution diluted 3000 to 5000 times for 1 to 2 hours. Fertilization can be stopped during the winter and the flowering period.

• Temperature

Air plants can tolerate low temperatures of 5°C. The ideal growth temperature is between 15°C and 25°C, and when temperatures exceed 25°C, it is necessary to enhance ventilation and humidity.

• Propagation

Air pineapples are mainly propagated by division
