How to raise air pineapple? What are the precautions?

Air pineapple grows in the air and can purify the air. It is very adaptable, drought-tolerant, usually care only need to spray water, very easy to take care of, known as lazy plant. So how to raise the air pineapple? What are the precautions?

First, how to raise air pineapple

1. Light

The varieties with gray leaves, more white scales and thicker hard need stronger light; not strong direct light, but more strong light. Placed in the south or east windowsill is a very good way, strong light, appropriate temperature difference, is the key to the attractive color of air pineapple.

two。 Moisture content

According to the thickness of leaves, air pineapple can be divided into thick leaves and thin leaves. Thick leaves such as Bawang, intermedia, etc., like a relatively dry environment, to reduce the number of watering; thin leaves such as nana like wet environment very much, can increase the frequency of watering.

Indoor air pineapple is basically enough to water two or three times a week, the best spray, dry season should be sprayed once a day; outdoor according to the local climate appropriate increase or decrease (for example, Jiangnan plum rain season can be less watering or no watering).

It is best to dry thoroughly within 3-5 hours after spraying water. Spray water until the leaf surface is completely wet and pay attention to the center of the leaf not to accumulate water. It is easy to be poisoned by calcium ion with tap water, it is best to use pure water, Rain Water is better. If too much water is sprayed, the plant can be inverted to transfer the excess water.

3. Temperature

The air pineapple can withstand the low temperature of 5 °C, and the plants will die when the temperature is less than 0 ℃. The suitable growth temperature is 15 °C-25 °C. when it is higher than 25 degrees, it is necessary to strengthen ventilation and increase humidity. It is more able to tolerate lower temperatures and harsh climatic conditions under dry conditions.

4. Insect pest

Air pineapple has fewer diseases and insect pests, but the red spider is a bad thing and will absorb the water in the leaves. However, if the environment is a little wetter, it seems to disappear automatically.

Also common are scale insects, snails and slugs. Small domestic air pineapple plants are recommended to improve ventilation and remove pests by hand. If the scale is large, scale insects can use special insecticides such as acetamiprid. Snails and slugs are killed with 10% polyacetaldehyde.

5. Disease

Air pineapple sunburn disease often occurs in an environment with sufficient light, due to improper operation, water spray in the leaf surface is not air-dried in time, water droplets play the role of convex lens to burn the leaves below water droplets, but it will not spread, usually maintenance can pay attention to ventilation.

Second, how the air pineapple absorbs moisture

After careful observation, we will find that there are many small white scales on the leaf surface, and most of these scales are shield-shaped, and the water in the air or Rain Water will be intercepted by the stomata in the depression and infiltrate into the plant through the gaps of parenchyma cells.

Usually the stomata in these scales are semi-closed when the temperature is high and the air is relatively dry during the day to reduce water evaporation; when the temperature decreases and the air humidity increases at night, it is fully open to absorb water from the air.

Third, how to raise the air pineapple just bought online

1. Online shopping field empty Phoenix, after the hand is usually lack of water, to timely replenish water, transport time is long, serious lack of water can be soaked for 2 hours, and then dry excess water.

two。 After that, you can make a new home and label it. Iron wire oxidation and rust, will cause damage, you can buy painted wire brackets or aluminum wire, fishing line, or flowerpots, glasses, shells, but pay attention to ventilation, otherwise the roots will rot.

3. Put it in a cool place, spray a little water, and then bask in the sun after you get back to life.

IV. Matters needing attention in the maintenance of air pineapple

1. Air pineapple will not be dried to death, usually too much water on the body, the living environment is not breathable, resulting in a bad heart to die. Cities with more Rain Water in spring need to be placed in a ventilated environment. If there is not enough sunshine in spring, the color of the leaves will be a little darker.

two。 The life of the air pineapple is much shorter than that of the succulent plant, and once its mother plant blossoms and bears seeds, it will gradually wither. However, the more precious the variety is, the slower the growth rate is. It is not easy to wait for it to blossom and bear seeds, the mother plant is likely to die. Because its life is limited, we should cherish it more.
