The monster of the plant world, it is the most suitable plant for lazy people to grow

What? Air plant? What on earth is it? It has another name - "air flower". Why does it have such a name? This brings us to the biggest feature of the air plant - it does not need to be planted in soil at all, and of course it does not need hydroponics either. That's right! You heard it completely right, it can grow in the air!

The air plant is a very qualified "left-behind child" of the plant world. It does not need your special care at all, and it can still take very good care of itself. But relatively speaking, it has one disadvantage, and that is slow growth (it can survive without soil and water, so growing slowly is understandable)

There are many varieties of air plants, with more than 500 kinds at present. Each one has a different form, and what it will grow into simply cannot be predicted. With such tenacious vitality, give it a little air and it can freely let itself go! Combined with its own many characteristics, the air plant is truly the top choice for lazy people who want to grow flowers at home!

Its flower spikes grow compactly, with small flowers hidden among the bracts and leaves. After its fruits mature, they can even split open on their own! Then you can see seeds like feathered down! Isn't it amazing? It is just like magic! And all it needs from you is a spray of water.

In fact, the root system of the air plant is just an ornament. It does not use its roots to absorb water and nutrients. So where is the secret to its survival? It lies in the countless tiny hairs on its leaves. So now you understand why it needs neither soil nor hydroponics, right?

Most air plant varieties are very drought-tolerant, and only a small number like a slightly humid environment. As for growing air plants, I do not have anything special to remind you of, except that flower lovers should still remember that you are keeping such a plant! Then spray water on its leaves, and be careful not to spray the root system, otherwise it can easily die.

The frequency of spraying water on air plants should not be too frequent. If the temperature is high and the air is dry, spray once every two or three days. If the temperature is suitable and the sunlight is not strong, spray once every 5-7 days. If it is the rainy season or the air humidity is high, there is no need to spray it with water, as the moisture in the air is already enough for it to survive.
