Air pineapple is an epiphyte with weak roots. It only has the ability to fix plants, but it cannot absorb water and nutrients. The corresponding function is completed by the tissues on the leaves.

However, this product is not like its name, it can only live by air, because the air does not contain the nutrients it needs.

In the wild environment, air pineapple depends on the rainfall and running water on the surface of plants (or stones, telephone poles, etc.). ) absorbs nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, copper and zinc from it ... At the same time, it can efficiently reuse these extremely scarce elements in its growth environment, for example, absorbing dead skin on the surface again.

In the cultivation environment, air pineapple needs to be sprayed with chemicals frequently and fertilizers regularly, and air alone cannot sustain life.
