How to propagate air pineapple by division

As the air plant grows, many side buds will grow on the plant. These side buds grow very fast, making them perfect for division propagation. According to the growth condition of the mother plant, the newly grown side buds can be separated from the mother plant and then planted separately. Generally, the newly planted side buds can bloom as long as they are properly maintained.

When propagating air plants by division, a lot of time can be saved because the growth rate is faster than sowing. However, after the first division, unless the mother plant has died, it will generally be allowed to continue growing. After new side buds grow out, division reproduction can be carried out again. However, when dividing the air plant, you will find that the air plant becomes thinner and thinner and will slowly die. If you don't want the air plant to die, you can divide it and make it grow in groups, so that you can have a beautiful air plant.

Precautions for propagation of air plants by division

After the air plant is divided, it needs to be left for a month, during which time you can just spray it with water. When you see it growing new roots, you can move it to a tray. After moving it to a tray, you can just carry out normal maintenance.

In fact, it is a better choice to propagate air plants by division, because division can retain its original characteristics to the greatest extent, but it may cause its quality to decline. On the contrary, sexual reproduction methods such as sowing can still guarantee the quality, so if conditions permit, sowing can be used for propagation.
