How to raise air pineapple?

For people who like to grow flowers, caring for flowers and plants is as meticulous as caring for their babies. Air pineapple is a relatively new plant for us.

We should take care of it more carefully when raising it, so as to raise it better.

Air pineapple 1 how to raise it?

Buy air pineapple.

Air pineapple is a relatively rare variety among our flowering plants, so it has not developed in a large area, so it is generally bought online.

Offline, it is difficult to buy, unless you are a planting place or a cultivation place, generally speaking, it is difficult to buy.

02

The first two days after purchase.

When we buy air pineapples online, the first thing to pay attention to is that we must not water them at first. We must adapt it to the air around our home first, but it will adapt to you.

First talk about the environment at home, and then find that the leaves are rotten. Remember to cut off in time.

03

The third day after purchase.

On the third day after our purchase, let our air pineapple adapt to the environment around our home, and then we can bathe our air pineapple. At this time, our bath time should be controlled at about 1-2 hours, so be careful not to take too long.

04

A week later.

At this time, our air pineapple has basically adapted to the environment around our home. At this time, we can give the air pineapple a thorough pruning operation. Of course, you should pay attention to the method when pruning, and remember to apply healing agent after each pruning.

05

Where air pineapples are placed.

In this case, when we cultivate air pineapple, we must put it in a ventilated place so that it can shine in the sun. If the sun shines, it is not necessarily natural light, but it needs scattered light. In this case, we can put it on the balcony.

06

Water demand.

For aerial pineapple, it is a plant in the air first, not a plant in the water, so we must not water it too much when cultivating it. Generally speaking, in hot summer, we can

Add some water appropriately. In general, we water by spraying. Of course, our watering time is also limited. We usually choose to water in the middle of the night or at night, and don't do it during the day.

07

Winter care.

When we breed air pineapples, we must pay attention to them in winter. Because there is little sunshine in winter, you must remember to bask in the sun at this time, when the weather is good.

Photosynthesis under light enables it to grow normally in winter. Of course, if it rains continuously, we may also give it indoor lighting.

08

Pest protection.

In this case, that is to say, when we plant air pineapples, we should pay attention to regular inspection to prevent the invasion of pests and diseases. Generally speaking, if you get sick, you will burn every day and often in summer.

There is also heart rot and root rot. This situation is caused by too much water, too high temperature and no ventilation. At this time, put it in a ventilated place, or dry the water with a cold hair dryer. Some are rotten and some are dry, so they should be trimmed in time.

The main pests are snails and slugs. In this case, we can use our hands directly.

How to raise air pineapple II

How can this goods live without roots?

For most plants, the root system can absorb water and fertilizer, and can dynamically supplement the transpiration of plants.

Plants without roots will wither after a while.

The evolutionary history of air pineapple is actually a portrayal of the environmental adaptation process in South America.

In South America, the environment is dry, the terrain is undulating, there are more stones and less soil. In order to adapt to this environment, many plants have evolved special survival skills, such as cactus and many succulents.

Air pineapple also has its own unique evolutionary strategy-the roots gradually degenerate and evolve into claws for fixed plants to attach to, leaving only a small amount of gas exchange.

Accordingly, its leaves are covered with a layer of wax to reduce water evaporation; When the humidity is high at night, tiny hairs protrude from the leaves to absorb water instead of the roots.

As long as it can be repaired, the root is not important.

Therefore, to feed the air pineapple, just put it in a bright and ventilated place and spray water (or soak water) on its leaves at an appropriate night.

Four Gardens and Their Producing Areas of Kongtong Peak

Having said that, we have to talk about the four world botanical gardens of air pineapple, which is often said by the air phoenix circle.

These four gardens are located in the United States, which are rainforest, international, bird rock and tropical.

The four gardens have their own characteristics. Even the same type of empty phoenix, different batches produced in different gardens, will have different differences from big to small, and it is not impossible to find treasures (special individuals and forms) occasionally.

Every garden has different characteristics.

Briefly talk about the differences between gardens.

rain forest

Because most of the commodities in the rainforest are seedlings (that is, plants cultivated from seeds), they are excellent in color and shape, difficult to bloom, and large in size; But it grows relatively slowly and its plants are small.

The entry and basic models are relatively complete.

In recent years, because of the long breeding cycle, the varieties and quantities supplied have decreased.

The market is positioned at the consumer level.

Peach Blossoms in Africa: Peach Blossoms in Tropical Rainforest;

international

Compared with the rain forest, there are more hand bodies propagated by lateral buds in the world, so the price will be a little cheaper and a little higher.

The color is not true, Miao performed well.

The entry and basic models are the most complete.

The market is positioned at the consumer level.

International Rose Elf Ionantha Rosita

Niaoyan

Compared with the first two, the products of Bird Research tend to be high-quality products, and the basic models are also available. The number is relatively small, but the individual characteristics are obvious.

Not much.

The market is positioned at the high end

T. Apretado, the spirit of Bird Rock

tropical zone

Most tropical commodities are very large, and generally people who have money and places will buy them. For example, I can't afford it, and I can't afford it.

It's not much.

High-end market positioning

I can't afford it, I'm not going to.

In addition to imported varieties of air pineapples, there are also a large number of master gods in China this year, as well as many greenhouses and specially imported ones. You can buy them online or some side buds of various gods.

Simply put:

Household greenhouse

At present, the basic situation of greenhouse in China is that imported seedlings propagate by themselves, which has the advantages of large quantity, low price, adaptability to domestic climate and fast growth.

The disadvantage is the pursuit of quantity, and the quality of seedlings has declined.

In order to breed quickly in domestic greenhouses, some greenhouse workers (mostly farmers) simply don't care about plant varieties and cross at will, which leads to the decline and disappearance of some varieties.

Player trading

Players also have a lot of good things to share with each other.

The number is very small.

However, players usually have some out of stock or out of print, and the price is relatively stable.

There are also several specialized importers in China.

I won't say this ~

Please pay attention to the package that has just arrived.

The way, timing and quantity of watering are very important!

Handle newly received goods.

Judging from the current general situation in China, the biggest cause of death of air pineapple (other causes of death are below) is improper watering, and most of the deaths occur within one month after purchase, mainly due to

Vegetarianism means that too much water is not relieved, which leads to the decay of plant growth points and directly leads to death.

Many empty phoenixes do a good job of testing and reporting from the other side of the distant earth, and cross the ocean. When they arrive in China, they have to go through customs clearance and express them to merchants. Many empty phoenixes can't live this time, and they died halfway.

Fortunately, those who didn't die were already scarred because they were trapped in dark and unventilated packages for a long time.

Blindly watering at this time will only lead to the empty phoenix being overwhelmed, rotting and dying.

There are many bases selling air pineapples in China, and there are also many TB shops specializing in importing.

The descendants of the domestic base I bought are in better condition.

The temperature and humidity in the greenhouse where air pineapples are planted at home and abroad are set, which is absolutely incomparable in China.

Plants that have not been softened by the merchants are in the adaptation period one week before receiving the goods. At this time, plants need rest and adaptation, not a lot of water supply! At this time, water supply will greatly increase the burden on the plants themselves, ranging from rotten leaves to heart rot.

Imported air-delivered pineapples that are delivered directly to customers without being eased will take at least one month to be eased after arriving because they have been imprisoned in packages for a long time after crossing the ocean.

Professional sellers will put the plants in the right place, and then send them to customers after mitigation to reduce the mortality rate.

Daily watering times and water demand

The frequency of watering several times a week or once every x days is unscientific! Many people on the Internet ask how often to water it. Some people say it takes three days, others say it takes a week, but it may not be suitable for your own environment.

To raise air pineapples (and other plants), it is best to make a suitable watering plan according to their situation.

Air pineapple is actually very differentiated in this respect (with its own variable flag).

When water is scarce, the leaves of air pineapple will be very curly, while the leaves of air pineapple will be straight after being saturated with water.

Just keep the watering frequency between these two states.

About hair color

Air pineapple will show a very beautiful side in two situations-marriage color.

First, when the temperature difference is large, such as spring and autumn, the leaves will show a unique marriage color; Second, when flowering, in order to attract hummingbirds and other animals to help pollinate, it will also show a unique marriage color.

In the final analysis, the purpose of marriage color is to improve the pollination rate of air pineapple and breed more offspring.

The reproductive strategy between plants is different from that of animals, because plants can't walk or dance, so plants rely more on macro changes in nature-temperature changes and long sunshine hours.

Short time determines the flowering time, and flowering races are more likely to improve the reproductive rate in nature.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the flowering period of the phoenix flower is mostly concentrated in autumn and winter, that is, when the temperature difference is large and the sunshine time is long.

Therefore, whether it is in the flower season or not, as long as the conditions are right, the empty phoenix will show charming marriage color; If the environment is right, it will bloom.

Induced flowering and growth

It is precisely according to this characteristic that artificial control of temperature and illumination time can make it blossom ahead of time.

According to my personal experience, the light above 14h/d will basically not bloom, and the light below 10h/d may bloom (don't ask me how I know ~); If the temperature difference is small, it will not bloom, but if the temperature difference is large, it will bloom easily.

In some famous gardens, such as Thailand, the temperature doesn't change much throughout the year, so the air pineapples in Thailand grow bigger and stronger, with fewer flowers.

How to raise air pineapple 3

The English name of air pineapple is Air plant, which contains nearly 550 varieties and 103 varieties. Therefore, it is the most diverse group of bromeliads and an epiphytic genus.

1753, Dictyophora was first discovered by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus, and named after his respected Swedish botanist Tienz (or Finnish doctor Elias Tienz).

This is the only plant on earth that is born completely in the air. It can thrive without soil and produce bright flowers.

They have many varieties and different shapes, and can enjoy both leaves and flowers. They have the advantages of good decorative effect and strong adaptability.

Because of its high ornamental value, relative cleanliness and easy care, it is the first choice for greening rooms and environment in busy and fast-paced life, so more and more flower lovers have planted aerial pineapples in recent years.

Flowers that can be seen all year round.

Can purify the air.

morphological character

Perennial herbs.

There are many varieties, some of which are clustered.

The diameter can reach 2 meters, and some of them are less than 10 cm.

The plant is rosette-shaped, tubular, linear or radial, and its leaves are lanceolate, linear, erect, curved or curled at the top.

In addition to green, leaves are gray and blue-gray, and some varieties of leaves will be beautiful red in sunny conditions.

The surface of leaves is densely covered with white scales, but there is no "water storage tank" in the center of the plant.

Spikes or compound spikes are pulled out from the center of leaves. Spikes have dense and colorful bracts or green to silvery white bracts. Small peanuts in the bud, green, purple, red, white, yellow and blue five colors, 3 petals. The flowering period is mainly from August to April of the following year.
