The varieties with gray leaves, more white scales and thick and hard leaves need strong light.
It's not a strong direct light, but a lot of strong light. It's a good way to put it on the windowsill facing south or East.
Strong light and proper temperature difference are the key to the attractive color of air pineapple.
According to the thickness of the leaves, air pineapple can be roughly divided into thick leaves and thin leaves.
Those with thick leaves, such as overlord, intermedia, etc., like a dry environment and need to reduce the number of times of watering.
Thin leaves like Nana are very fond of humid environment, which can increase the frequency of watering.
Indoor pineapple indoors basically two or three times a week, water is enough, the best spray, dry season should be sprayed once a day; outdoor should be appropriately increased or reduced according to the local climate (for example, the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River can be less or not poured).
Water quantity: it is better to dry out within 3-5 hours after spraying water.
When spraying water, spray until the leaf surface is completely wet, and pay attention not to water in the leaf center.
It is easy to be poisoned by calcium ion with tap water. It is better to use purified water and rainwater. If too much water is sprayed, the plant can be inverted to transfer the excess water out.
The air pineapple can tolerate 5 ° C low temperature, and the plants will die below 0 ℃.
The suitable growth temperature is 15 ° C-25 ° C. when the temperature is higher than 25 ° C, ventilation and humidity should be enhanced.
In dry condition, it can bear lower temperature and bad weather.
The diseases and insect pests of air pineapple are less, but red spider is a bad thing, it will suck the water in the leaves. However, if the environment is a little bit wet, it seems to disappear automatically.
Common are scale insects, snails and slugs. It is suggested to improve the ventilation condition of small-scale air pineapple plants and remove pests by hand. On a large scale, scale insects can use specific killing drugs, such as acetamiprid. Snails and slugs were killed with 10% polyacetaldehyde.
The air pineapple sunburn often occurs in the environment with sufficient light. The reason is that due to improper operation, the water spray is not dried in time on the leaf surface, and the water drops play the role of convex lens to burn the leaf surface under the water drops, but they will not spread. Usually, the maintenance and ventilation should be paid attention to.
Careful observation shows that there are many small white scales on the leaf surface, most of which are shield like depressions. Water or rain in the air will be intercepted by the stomata in the depressions, and penetrate into the plant through the pores of parenchyma cells.
Generally, the pores in these scales are in a semi closed state during the day when the temperature is high and the air is relatively dry, so as to reduce the evaporation of water; when the temperature is low and the air humidity is increased, the pores are fully opened to absorb the water in the air.
1. Online shopping for air Phoenix in other places is usually in the state of water shortage. It is necessary to make up water in time. The transportation time is long. If there is serious water shortage, it can be soaked for 2 hours, and then the excess water will be dried.
2. After that, we can make a new home and label it. If the iron wire is oxidized and rusty, it will cause damage. You can choose the painted wire bracket or aluminum wire, fish wire, or flowerpot, glass, shell, but be sure to ventilate, or it will rot.
3. Put it in a cool place, spray a little water, and let the sun shine no later after getting angry.
1. The air Phoenix will not be dried to death. It is usually caused by too much water on the body and the airtight living environment. The city with more rain in spring needs to be placed in a ventilated environment. There is not enough sunshine in spring, and the color of leaves will be a little darker.
2. The life of air pineapple is much shorter than that of succulent plant. Once its mother plant blossoms and seeds, it will gradually wither. However, the more precious the variety is, the slower the growth rate will be. It's not easy to wait until it blooms and seeds, the mother plant is likely to die. Because its life is limited, we should cherish it more.
