Propagation of air plants by division

After the air plant blooms, it will grow many side buds. When the side buds grow to a certain size, you can separate them from the mother plant. Spray water once a week, but do not soak it in water. Wait until new roots grow out, then you can put it on the tray and maintain it normally.

Air plant seed propagation

The seeds of air plants should be placed in a humid environment, but without stagnant water. The temperature should be kept above 20℃. At the same time, it should be given appropriate light, but be careful to avoid exposure to the sun. After about 5-6 days, the seeds will germinate.

Precautions for propagating air plants

What you need to pay attention to when propagating air plants is to avoid placing the plant in a closed tank for maintenance, because it needs a large amount of air circulation, and it will go bad if it is kept in the tank. If the air is relatively dry, you can spray it with water appropriately. Be careful not to expose it to the sun when there is water on the leaves.
