空氣植物玻璃盆栽保養貼士

每星期為放置於室內的空氣盆栽噴水2-3次。如果你的空氣植物嚴重缺水,建議把它浸泡在水中蠻半小時至兩小時,浸泡時間視植物缺水程度而定。經浸泡後的空氣植物需徹底拭乾,以防多餘水份導致其根部潰爛。

所有的植物都需要不同程度的光照作光合作用的原料。太強的光線會烘乾玻璃盆栽內的植物而過少的光線會導致植物發育不良。空氣盆栽需要充沛的光照,建議放置在窗邊等能接收充足散射光線的地方。但亦應避免陽光直接照射玻璃盆栽,防止植物被烘乾。

新鮮空氣有助維持空氣植物的健康。如果植物生長在密封容器,灑水後應確保植物於四小時內拭乾。雖然空氣植物能在密封環境生長,但一個空氣流通的容器則更有行於植物的生長。

適度的修剪有助植物健康生長,用小剪刀修剪過長和格萎的支葉。你亦可以按你的喜好修剪空氣植物的根部,其根部組織除了用作依附其他植物外並無並氣實際用途。

Air plant Terrarium Maintenance Tips

If your airplants are kept indoor, slightly misting (1-2 sprays) them 2-3 times a week will keep them happy.

However, misting is NOT the sole source of moisture. Give your air plants a good soak if they look severely dehydrated. Soak the plants in a bowl of distilled water for 30-60 minutes. Then, gently shake any excess water off as sitting water can cause rot and damage/kill the plant. If your plant looks “thirsty” you can leave them in bowl for a longer period. A healthy air plant has wide open leaves while a dehydrated air plant has closed and curled leaves.
