Culture methods of potted pineapple

Pineapple is a very popular fruit, after eating pineapple can be raised at home. Pineapple potted plants are very good potted plants because of their beautiful appearance. Let's take a look at the cultivation methods of potted pineapples.

First, transplant into the pot

First of all, you should pick out healthy pineapples. Generally pineapples will be stored for a period of time, and some leaves may wither. If you want to plant pineapples, it is better to choose pineapples with fresh leaves. You can see that the white powder of the leaves is still there or the leaves are green. You can buy two more, and the survival rate will be a little higher.

When dealing with pineapple leaves, the tissue at the bottom should be left a little more, and then we gently cut off the top bud with a knife, then tear off the lower layer of bracts, and leave it in the shade for two or three days to let the pineapple wound heal, and then hydroponically take root. Fill about half of the water in a transparent bottle, and then insert the top bud into the root. After 7 days, you will be able to see the root tip, the water level can not cover all the roots. You need to set aside some distance to breathe to the roots.

Pot after the completion of the previous steps, potted pineapple does not have high requirements for soil, do not often water, only water dry, but the sun must be sufficient, need more than half a year to bud, from flower to fruit is more than 7 months, pineapple is a tropical fruit, so flower friends in the north need to pay attention to the temperature problem. When the leafy pineapple is in the pot, flower friends need to pay attention to the thorns on the leaves to avoid being scratched. At the same time, the basin soil should be loosened and ventilated.

Second, lighting

Pineapple likes the environment with plenty of light, the more sunshine, the better, so its flowering quality will be better, it is best to plant it on the south-facing balcony!

Third, temperature

Pineapple likes the environment of high humidity and high temperature, so our indoor temperature should be above 10 degrees. Even in winter, we should keep the temperature above 5 degrees, so as not to let the pineapple get cold. This will lead to pineapple tissue dehydration and chlorosis, which will cause drying.

Fourth, humidity

The drought tolerance of pineapple is relatively strong, so in the process of managing pineapple, it is better for flower friends to wait until the pot soil is semi-dry before watering, and in winter when the pot soil is completely dry, it is also to prevent the problem of stagnant water.

5. Fertilization

Generally speaking, in the first half of the year, compound fertilizer can be applied to pineapple every half a month. the proportion of this compound fertilizer can be adjusted according to the same amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and fertilization will be stopped in winter. Pineapple is too low to absorb the nutrients of fertilizer, but will burn its roots.

Pineapple potted plant shape is more beautiful, put indoors can effectively green the environment, and planting is also relatively simple. If you like pineapple, do not lose the top of the bud after eating, you can develop a beautiful potted plant indoors.
