How many years can Tielan be maintained?
As a unique variety among tropical ornamental plants, Terra chinensis is popular for its silver-gray leaves and colorful inflorescences. This air pineapple plant often causes a "longevity mystery" in home maintenance. In fact, its growth cycle is closely related to the maintenance method. Factors influencing the life span of Tianchan The core element of environmental regulation The original environment of Tianchan is the canopy of tropical rainforest, and its conservation needs to simulate its natural ecology. The temperature is maintained in the range of 15-28℃, and not lower than 10℃ in winter; the air humidity is maintained above 60%, which can be achieved by atomizing spraying. The light intensity is mainly scattered light, and 4-6 hours of light per day can meet the demand. Direct light can easily cause leaf burns. The golden ratio of water and fertilizer management adopts the "sandwich" water supply method: atomized water spray 2-3 times a week, and the accumulated water in the leaf center needs to be poured out in time. Nutritional replenishment is implemented once a month. It is recommended to use 2000 times the solution of air pineapple special fertilizer and increase phosphorus and potassium during flowering. Be careful to avoid traditional soil cultivation. Bark or volcanic rock matrix is more conducive to the ventilation of the roots. Practical skills to extend life. The life cycle is accurately controlled by mature plants entering the breeding period after flowering. When the base of the inflorescence turns green, use a disinfection knife to obliquely remove the pedicels 45°. Retain the mother plant to cultivate the daughter plant, and separate and transplant when the new buds grow to 1/3 of the size of the mother plant. Through rafting, intergenerational replacement can be achieved and the continuous ornamental nature of the plant group can be maintained. A disease prevention system was established and a ventilation protection mechanism was established, and the circulating fan was operated for 3 hours a day. Leaf spot disease was found immediately isolated and treated with 800 times mancozeb solution. Regularly check leaf axils for water accumulation to avoid the growth of fungi. Add humidification equipment during the winter heating period to prevent dehydration and curling of leaves.
Through scientific conservation and management, Tillandsia can achieve more than ten years of viewing period. It is suggested to establish a maintenance log to record temperature and humidity changes, and adjust the maintenance plan according to plant status. Periodically rotate the flower holder to ensure uniform light reception and optimize the maintenance rhythm according to seasonal changes, so that this tropical spirit can continue to glow.
