How to propagate air plants and what harm does air plants do to humans

Air plants are the most unique plants in the world. They do not need soil to grow and reproduce. As long as they are placed in the air, they can maintain vigorous vitality and bloom beautiful and bright flowers. There are many different varieties of air plants, and they have different shapes.

How to propagate air plants

1. Seed propagation

Air plants can be propagated by sowing, but this method of propagation is more complicated and requires artificial pollination of air plants. After obtaining seeds, they can be sown and propagated in the appropriate season. When propagating air plants by seeds, be sure to choose a humid environment without water accumulation, and control the ambient temperature between 20 and 25 degrees, so that the seeds can receive good scattered light. After 5 to 6 days, it will turn green and grow small buds.

2. Division propagation

The most common and simplest method of propagation of air plants is division. After the air plant blooms, its top bud will lose its advantage, and the side buds will grow rapidly and undergo cell division. When its side buds grow to a certain extent, they can be separated from the mother plant and then placed in a suitable environment for cultivation, and it will bloom again that year.

What are the hazards of air plants to humans?

1. Air plants can bloom beautiful flowers during the cultivation process, especially after entering the flowering period, but they will also produce a certain amount of pollen. If a person has an allergic constitution, when he comes into contact with its pollen, he will easily have an allergic reaction, and will easily have sneezing, runny nose, and skin redness, swelling, itching and other adverse symptoms, which will directly endanger people's health.

2. Apart from causing human allergies, air plants have no obvious harm to humans. When grown indoors, they can absorb carbon dioxide in the air, convert it into oxygen, and release it into the air. This can purify indoor air and beautify the indoor environment. It allows people to live in an environment with rich green for a long time, regulate emotions and relax.
