From cultivation to conservation, all-round popularization of science and technology

Hydroponic green pineapple, as the name implies, is to grow green pineapple by hydroponics. This seemingly simple method of cultivating green pineapple has recently received a lot of "radish powder" saying that "it doesn't work". Most of the feedback pictures show yellowing leaves or soft rotting roots. How can we successfully hydroponically cultivate a "healthy" green pineapple? Today, from cultivation to maintenance, the editor gives you all-round science popularization and hydroponic green apple!

First of all, from the cultivation method, although we all know that water culture method is to use water or nutrient solution instead of soil for cultivation, but in terms of subdivision of water culture green pineapple, there are two kinds of water culture methods, namely, branch water culture method and dragging basin root washing method.

Branch hydroponics

First of all, select a pot of vigorous green apple, intercept the cuttings in water culture, the length is about 15 centimeters, and clean the dust on the leaves with clean water.

Cuttings must be healthy and free from diseases and insect pests, preferably with aerial roots, so that they can take root quickly and adapt to the hydroponic environment.

Insert the cut cuttings directly into the hydroponic container

The stem inserted into the hydroponic container should not have leaves so as not to rot and pollute the water quality and infect germs.

Take off the basin and wash the roots

Select 1 pot of green radish with good growth.

Gently detach the green pineapple from the pot soil and wash the soil on the root system. Do not harm the green radish root system.

Cut off some of the old roots and diseased leaves, and then put the green apple in a hydroponic container filled with clear water for hydroponic culture.

In fact, whether it is branch water culture or dragging basin root washing method, as long as the "mother seedling" is strong, it can be successfully hydroponically cultivated to produce green pineapple, but why are the leaves yellowing and rhizomes rotting? The answer is later maintenance!

Maintenance of hydroponic green pineapple

Water quality: the water used in hydroponic cultivation of green pineapple is very important. You can choose clean tap water or pure water to cultivate green pineapple. The correct choice of water quality is very important for hydroponic green pineapple culture. In addition, green pineapple likes acidic environment, so remember not to choose alkaline water to cultivate green pineapple.

Water change: green turnip water culture begins with a change of water once every 2 to 3 days, and then 7 to 10 days after two weeks. It should be noted that the branches and stems put into the water can not have leaves, otherwise it will easily affect the water quality.

Choice of nutrient solution: hydroponic green pineapple will grow very slowly in the initial growth process because of the change of environment. The use of nutrition can also promote the rapid growth of green pineapple, but before using the nutrient solution, it must be diluted with water, otherwise it is likely to cause local nutrition imbalance.

Illumination: hydroponic green pineapple needs enough scattered light to stretch its leaves and the leaves are green. It is usually best to place them where there is enough scattered light. If the environment is too dark, it can be moved to a place with enough scattered light every ten days or so to receive a few hours of light, and the glossiness of the leaf color can be maintained.

Proper spraying of water on leaves: green pineapple likes a warm and humid environment, so pay attention to spraying water on the leaves of green pineapple regularly to increase humidity. In this way, it is very conducive to the growth of green pineapple, and it can also play the role of cleaning leaves. If the weather is cold in winter, spraying leaves is not recommended to avoid frostbite on the leaves of green radish.

Root care: the roots of green pineapple need to be cleaned at intervals, and the roots are too long, so they should be cut short in time to avoid nutrient loss. If the root system is rotten and sticky, it should be cleaned in time, cut off the rotten roots, and soaked in potassium permanganate solution and then restored to maintenance, so that the green pineapple can better absorb nutrients.

The above is about the cultivation and maintenance of hydroponic green pineapple, the editor thinks it is relatively simple, but we should pay attention to the details! Every little life needs careful care in order to become exquisite and moving! Luhang Luoluo hope that this article can help you to successfully hydroponically grow green pineapple!
