Tillandsia sau Pana roz este o planta care se adapteaza foarte bine in mai toate tipurile de clima, cum ar fi climatul arid, uscat si face asta deoarece frunzele ei sunt capabile sa retina apa din mediul in care traieste. Este o planta care isi are originea in continentul american, fiind prezenta mai ales in sudul Americii latine, in zona tropicala.
Inmultire Tillandsia
Tillandsia se inmulteste prin desprinderea lastarilor de la baza plantei adulte. Nu este o procedura complicata, desi poate parea la prima vedere.
Tot ce trebuie sa faci este sa iei cu atentie noile rozete de frunze si sa le transplantezi in mediul in care vrei sa se dezvolte. Trebuie sa ai mare grija la radacinile mici ale plantei.
Inmultirea prin seminte se poate face, insa dureaza foarte mult si nu are, intotdeauna rezultatele dorite. Este motivul pentru care nu prea este recomandata.
Conditii de crestere Tillandsia
Tillandsia nu este pretentioasa cu privire la solul. In fapt, se adapteaza oriunde, pentru ca este o planta aeriana, ale carei nevoi de vegetatie nu sunt implinite prin intermediul solului. Este o planta care traieste fie agatata de alte culturi, fie de diferite suporturi, cand este cultivat
Temperature and Humidity
Keep your tillandsia in a spot with good air circulation and where temperatures are consistently between 50 and 85°F.
Sky plants like a little bit of humidity but a once or twice weekly spritz is enough to provide this.
Fertilizing
Strictly speaking, you don’t need to fertilize your sky plants, but they will grow better and be more likely to bloom and put out offsets if you give them some food.
Choose a Tillandsia-specific food that is formulated with the right balance of nutrients to encourage healthy growth in epiphytes.
