This kind of plant hangs in the air with a rope and sprays water regularly so that it can live and produce delicate flowers.

Air pineapple is a very strange plant, it is difficult to find any kind of plant like it, it does not need any soil cultivation, nor does it need to be soaked in water to grow, as long as it is in the right place to maintain the air pineapple as long as a little misty water is sprayed regularly.

Air pineapple is a plant of the genus Tieran. They are generally epiphytic on some larger trees, shrubs or rocks. They can grow well by absorbing the surrounding water and rotten leaves, and do not need any pot soil for cultivation.

1. Growing environment

If you want to raise air pineapples well, the first thing is to understand their natural habitat. Air pineapples were originally grown in tropical forests and alpine areas of Central and South America.

The maintenance environment is a high-temperature and high-humidity tropical rain forest environment, so we should pay attention to avoid freezing during maintenance, pay attention to maintain high air humidity, and keep the lowest maintenance temperature above 5 degrees.

two。 Regular water spraying

The most important thing to maintain air pineapple is to pay attention to regular water spraying, spraying about 3 times a week, which depends on the depth of the air. If the air is dry, you should spray more. If the air humidity is high, you can spray once or twice a week.

In addition to paying attention to regularly spraying air pineapples, you should also soak the basin once a month or so. You can prepare a basin of water, soak the whole air pineapple in water for about 5 minutes or 10 minutes, then pick it up and drain it, and then hang it.

3. Lighting demand

Maintenance of air pineapple environment is best to have appropriate scattered light, winter to move it to indoor maintenance, to be placed in the sunny windowsill. Summer when the temperature is higher, the sun is more intense, it is necessary to properly shade.

Air pineapple does not need much light, if the sun is too strong, it is easy to burn leaves, plants are also easy to wither, air pineapple can maintain growth in a brightly lit room.

Air pineapples can blossom as long as they are properly maintained. Their flowers are very delicate and small, usually pink, purple or red.

4. Pay attention to fertilization

Air pineapple has little demand for fertilizer. In nature, it generally gets water from rotten leaves and absorbs nutrients through leaves.

If you keep it indoors, you can replenish thin fertilizer on a regular basis. You must not give too much fertilizer to air pineapples. Generally, you should choose low-nitrogen water-soluble fertilizer, the concentration should not be too high, and you must dilute it with water before fertilization.

Fertilization time is generally in the spring and summer season, every two weeks or so to give, the concentration is much smaller than usual, only need the usual 1 big 4 or so, directly spray on the leaves.

5. Other attention

The root system of the air pineapple is basically degraded, and there may be some small air roots at the bottom. Do not plant it in the soil, just fix the air pineapple in some containers, or hang it up, you can even grow it with air grass, that is, the old man's beard.
