I. Cultivation container and fixing method
The cultivation containers of air pineapple mainly include shells, stones, dead wood, linden boards, rattan baskets and so on. Fixation can be tied with iron wire or rope, can also be glued to the container with glue or hot melt glue, can also be hung for culture, can be tied with copper wire or rope and hung in the air.
Second, the temperature
Air pineapple is native to the highlands of Central and South America. Air pineapple can withstand low temperature of 0℃ and high temperature of 40℃. Most varieties below 5℃ will be frozen, and plants below 0℃ will die. The suitable growth temperature is 15-30℃. When it is higher than 2℃, ventilation should be strengthened to increase air humidity. In summer, the weather is hot and the temperature is too high, so we should pay attention to spraying water to humidify and cool down. In Jiangnan and South China, the temperature is above 0℃ in winter, so there is no need to heat it. Air pineapple can tolerate lower temperature and harsh climatic conditions under dry conditions.
Third, water.
Air pineapple can be sprayed with water 2-3 times a week, once a day in dry season. When spraying water, spray it until the leaves are completely wet. Be careful not to let the leaves accumulate water. If you spray too much water, you can turn the plants upside down and transfer the excess water.
Fourth, light.
The leaves of the old air pineapple are gray, and the thick and hard varieties with many white scales need strong light. The varieties with greener leaves, less scales and softer leaves are more tolerant to shade. When cultivated indoors, it should be placed in bright light. If there is insufficient light, plants will grow thin in vain.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) fertilization
In the artificial cultivation environment, you can add 1 0,000 times of water to Bika silicon-soluble potassium dihydrogen phosphate and urea, spray it once a week, or soak it in 3000-5000 times of fertilizer solution for 1-2 hours. Fertilization can be stopped in winter and flowering period.
