Air plants are trendy due to their easy to care for nature and flexibility in displaying them. Once customers take these plants home, they may not know how to multiply them. In this blog we will show you videos of these simple methods that you can share on the label.

Multiply Air Plants Through Germination

In this video, customers are shown how these plants are pollinated with a small paintbrush, and then how to remove seeds from the plant and sew them to moss. Viewers are reminded that not all plants will create seeds despite best efforts. It is a complicated process for the new gardener and seeing a visual representation they can come back to is important.

Multiply Air Plants By Removing Pups

In the below video, viewers are shown how to gently twist off pups from the mother plant and how big a pup needs to be before being removed. Again, gardeners are reminded that despite best efforts, not all pups will survive. It’s a simple technique, but for the new gardener, this education is crucial to building confidence.

How To Share These Tips

Hosting educational sessions and posting tips on social media, or through e-blasts, are helpful. Why not ensure the customer has the information they need by including it on the plant’s label? Many air plants are small, allowing for only a small label. In this case, use a booklet-style label to maximize space for content.

Or, share these videos by using a simple QR code. These codes must be at least 1 inch squared to be big enough for applications, but this space may be a better solution. Then, customers can scan the code with ease and have immediate access to the information they need.
