Bow down under the face of the air pineapple

Recognize it.

There are a variety of varieties, and their appearance is naturally different. But without exception, the air pineapple is really very good-looking.

How can air pineapples live without roots?

Understand it.

Roots are the main way for most plants to absorb nutrients. How can air pineapples live without roots?

South America has more dry environment, more undulating terrain, more stone and less soil.

Probably because the natural conditions of the country of origin are so bad.

The air pineapple has to develop its skills. During the long process of evolution, the roots gradually degenerated and grew "claws" that could be fixed and attached to the plants, thus leaving only a small amount of gas exchange.

Accordingly, its leaves are covered with a layer of wax to reduce water evaporation; tiny villi protrude from the leaves to replace the roots for water absorption when the humidity is high at night.

So, to feed the air pineapple, just put it in a bright and ventilated place, and spray water on its leaves in the appropriate night (or soak in water), pay attention to occasionally spray some nutrient solution, as long as it does not die, it can grow very well.

In fact, the air pineapple is also very fragile.

Take care of it

It sounds like growing air pineapples is really an easy and labor-saving thing, and the happiness of plants that feel so beautiful and easy to feed should be greatly improved.

But in fact, the air pineapple is really fragile, it will die if you are not careful.

If you don't breathe well, you will suffocate, if you water too much, you will drown, if the sun is too poisonous, you will die in the sun, and if you don't fix it well, you will fall to your death. Didn't OMG say it would be easy to raise?

But planting and cultivating green plants is a matter of attentiveness. With a little attention, many problems can be avoided.

Remember not to supply too much water, or the water in the heart of the leaf will die.

Especially like Medusa and Tillandsia tectorum (commonly known as feather duster). The leaf center of the former is firmly wrapped by the leaf, and it is difficult to pour out stagnant water after soaking in water, while the latter turns green after soaking in water. Therefore, it is recommended to use a spray can.

Don't bask in the sun immediately after spraying water.

Air pineapple will get sunburn, the water droplets on the leaf surface form a convex lens, the sun will leave a scar on the leaf surface, the most important thing is that this scar can not be removed unless the leaf is removed.

The temperature that Kongfeng can bear is 5 °- 40 °, and 25 °is the best.

If it is too cold below 5 °, it must be kept indoors, and the leaves cannot bring water overnight in winter. If the temperature is above 40 °, the hot weather needs to increase the number of water spraying (if the temperature is higher than 30 °, then spray water).

Of course, the specific circumstances of the maintenance process should be flexible according to the surrounding environment, and everyone is so witty and smart that they will naturally adjust. After all, good-looking people should be spoiled.
