The air pineapple does not need soil and water as the living medium, but only needs to live well in the air. It is a good indoor ornament plant, which can be placed in front of the desk window or suspended.
Air pineapple can be attached to dead trees, rocks, or shells, pots, as long as the root does not water can grow. Air pineapple as indoor plant decoration home, very fashionable. More people plant air pineapples in large quantities, and hang them up with metal wires or fish wires, with vivid and peculiar shapes. The main function of the root of air pineapple is to attach the plant to the fixed place, so even if there is no root, it can survive for a period of time. If the environment is suitable, it can also grow the offspring for a long time. .
Air pineapple with roots is the best, which is convenient for planting with bark or caissons. Only when it is imported, it needs to cut roots, so that the air pineapple sold in general is rootless. Before the root grows out, we should pay more attention to the adhesion, do not hinder the growth of the root. In addition, except for a few air pineapples growing on the ground, most of them can't be planted with soil. Air pineapple of the same variety can be planted together, put in a basket or porous plastic basin, and can be made into a special basket plant. If you plant different kinds of air pineapples, it is better not to put them on the same attachment or container, because the growth habits, water and light are different, and they cannot all grow normally. It should be noted that all pineapple plants can not tolerate aluminum and copper, so it can not be planted in copper or aluminum alloy containers. These metals will slowly poison the air pineapple. Please pay attention. .
To plant air pineapple, we must give it a place to live. It can be roughly divided into two types, hanging type and sticking type. If you like the natural and simple, you can use the hanging type, because its method is relatively simple, you only need to use the wire or rope, you can make it hang in the air. First of all, select some varieties with more leaves at the bottom (because it is easier to hook them), wrap the outer leaves with thread, then gently tighten them and tie them again, so that the hanging process can be completed. The adhesive type is more variable than the hanging type, and the beauty is more suitable for giving gifts, or for small furnishings of home and office.
The other is adhesive planting, which can also be divided into two types: purchase of finished products (i.e. air pineapple flowers have been pasted on the objects) or purchase of single air pineapple and accessories (such as hot-melt adhesive, trinkets and flat objects at the bottom). Purchase of finished products can certainly save manufacturing time, but if you are interested in designing by yourself, you need to buy a single one and accessories.
It's also very simple to do it yourself. First, find a place suitable for the sticking of pineapple, then burn the hot melt adhesive with a fire machine to make it transparent, and immediately apply the dissolved adhesive on the surface of the object at the selected position. After a second or two, press the pineapple on the hot melt adhesive at the selected position for about 30 seconds, so that the plant can firmly stick to the object. .
Hot melt adhesive must be melted when sticking to plants, because there is no chemical substance in it, which will not pose a threat to plant health. But other glues or strips must not be used, because most of them contain chemicals, which have an impact on the health of plants, and even more serious will cause the death of plants.
