Each air pineapple will only blossom once in its life, and the specific time varies. Generally, most air pineapple varieties will blossom in early spring and late autumn, and the flowering period can last about 20 days.

The flowers of the air pineapple are purplish red in color and shaped like ears of rice, full of vitality. In addition, the leaves also change color when the air pineapple blossoms, and the leaves usually turn red.

However, although the air pineapple blossoms only once in its life, it will not die as soon as it blossoms, but will begin fruiting breeding to reproduce in the next 1-2 years.

Warm reminder: air pineapple is the best time to split after flowering, just cut off the withered flowers and pedicels after the flower fade, and many seedlings will grow soon, and the seedlings can split when they grow up.
