It turns out that the growth habit of green pineapple is so strong that it is called the flower of life.

Green pineapple (scientific name: Epipremnum aureum), belongs to the unicorn leaf plant, large evergreen vine, growing in tropical areas, often climbing on the rocks and trunks of the rainforest, its strong entanglement, well-developed air roots, can be hydroponically cultivated.

On mature branches, petiole is stout, 30-40 cm long, base slightly enlarged, upper joint 2.5-3 cm long, slightly thicker, ventral with broad grooves, leaf sheath long, leaf blade thinly leathery, emerald green, usually (especially leaf surface) with many irregular pure yellow patches, entire, unequilateral ovate or ovate-oblong, apex short acuminate, base deeply cordate, slightly thicker, slightly elevated on both surfaces.

Morphological features: petiole 8-10 cm long, sheath on both sides reaching top; sheath leathery, persistent, lower side nearly 1 cm wide, attenuate upward; lower leaf blade large, 5-10 cm long, upper one 6-8 cm long, papery, broadly ovate, shortly acuminate, base cordate, 6.5 cm wide. The petiole on the mature branch is stout, 30-40 cm long, the base is slightly enlarged, the upper joint is 2.5-3 cm long, slightly thick, and the abdomen is covered with broad grooves. Leaf sheath long, leaf blade thinly leathery, emerald green, usually (especially leaf surface) with most irregular pure yellow plaques, entire, unequilateral ovate or ovate-oblong, apex short acuminate, base deep cordate, 32-45 cm long and 24-36 cm wide, grade I lateral veins 8-9 pairs, slightly thicker, slightly raised on both sides, at an acute angle of 70 °- 80 °(- 90 °) with strong middle ribs, during which II lateral veins are slender and veinlets weak. Reticulate with grade I and II lateral veins.

Growth environment: green pineapple is a negative plant, like scattered light, more shade-tolerant. It is called "the flower of life" because of its tenacious vitality. Spread down the green branches and leaves, very easy to meet. Indoor cultivation, whether potted or broken a few stalks of hydroponic culture, can grow well. It can not only be attached to the column made of brown, but also can be cultivated into a hanging shape to be placed in the study, windowsill, or directly potted, which is a kind of beautiful flower very suitable for indoor planting.

Methods of reproduction:

Cutting propagation: the methods of cutting and burying stems are adopted in propagation. Select the sturdy green vine, cut it into two sections, be careful not to hurt the air root, then insert it into plain sand or cinder, the depth is 1 beat 3 of the cuttings, drench enough water and place it in a shaded place, spray water to the leaves or cover with plastic film to moisturize every day, the ambient temperature is not less than 20 ℃, and the survival rate is above 90%.

Water plug propagation: green pineapple can also be inserted with terminal bud water, the method is: cut the tender stem vine 20 cm to 30 cm long for a section, directly insert into the bottle of water, change water every 2 to 3 days, more than 10 days can take root and survive. Due to the limitation of potted soil, potted green pineapple is easy to aging and its leaves become smaller and fall off after being cultivated for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to change the basin or prune and renew after 2 to 3 years of cultivation.

Variety classification:

Green leaves and green pineapple: the leaves are all turquoise, without patterns and colors.
