How do pineapple flowers cultivate pineapple flowers, and how do pineapple flowers water after flowering?

Do you know how to grow pineapple? Do you also want to grow your own beautiful pineapple? Let's take a look at the introduction below to see how pineapple flowers are planted.

Pineapple belongs to the pineapple family, and most of its origin is in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. There are more than 3,000 kinds in total, and the shapes can also be very different. Including the pineapple (pineapple) we eat, the beautiful pink pineapple Aechmea, and the completely unfloral, grass-like Tillandsia (completely absorbed by nutrients and moisture from the air.)

Pineapple used to be regarded as an aristocrat of indoor potted plants, because it blossoms brightly and is a favorite decorative potted plant for interior designers. Most flowers are bright red or pink, even if there are no obvious flowers, flowers, leaves will appear beautiful color. In the past, the price was not cheap, but recently it is not so expensive, and in fact, it is not difficult to take care of it. Pineapple flowers are born on big trees in the natural environment, so many hotels or lobbies plant pineapple flowers on tree trunks.)

Pineapple is characterized by most of the radiation-like large slender leaves, surrounded by a water pocket in the middle, which can gather water. So although there is a great need for a humid environment, it is no problem not to rain for a while. In the rainforest, the bag also collects nutrients like bird droppings and dead insects. Some pineapple leaves have gray tiny scales that absorb nutrients from the air, so they have little effect on absorbing water from the roots. Plus most pineapple flowers are epiphytes attached to tree trunks. So some can be planted on mud moss or snake boards like orchids. Only edible pineapples must be planted or potted (see below).

If you know the properties of pineapple, you can roughly know how to take care of it. When watering, it can be watered by the water pocket in the center of the leaf. If there is still water in the water pocket, there is no need to water it. Fertilization can also be applied from the water pocket, but absolutely not to use more fertilizer, so as not to hurt the leaves. It is best to use a very small amount, that is, a small amount of more. The other kind of leaves with scales, should be more light, this type to keep moist air, but can be less watering, because the leaves will absorb water.

Pineapple used to be more expensive because it took years to blossom. So the ones that are already in bloom in the store are plants that have been planted for many years. But the florescence is very long, after you buy it, you can put it in the living room for a few months. After the flower fades, the plant dies, but new seed plants appear at the base, usually with at least one seed plant, sometimes as many as two or three. When the seed plant is a little larger, you can take it off and plant it in the basin soil, wait slowly, and it will blossom again in two or three years. However, when the daughter plant is not big, because it does not have its own water pocket, it is necessary to keep the leaves of the mother plant and continue to water the water bag.

Until the seed plant is about six inches high, it can be transplanted. After the transplant, it will be watered according to the rules (the topsoil will be watered when the topsoil is dry), and the frequency of watering will be reduced in winter. Fertilize slightly in spring and summer, and maintain high light in addition. Adult pineapple will be formed in two or three years. If you don't blossom in adulthood, one trick is to put a ripe apple with the plant and cover the plant with a paper bag for a week before opening it. The ethylene carbide emitted by apples will promote flowering. In addition, the Ethrel liquid sold by the florist, with a few drops in the water pocket, will also help blossom.
