Is the pineapple poisonous?

Pineapple flowers, also known as ornamental pineapples, pineapple flowers, etc., native to the jungles from Mexico to southern Brazil and northern Argentina, are famous indoor foliage and flowering plants. at present, the popular ornamental pineapples in China are water tower, Ji pineapple, dragonfly pineapple, Phnom Penh pineapple, colorful pineapple and so on. Let's take a look at whether the pineapple flower is poisonous.

Is the pineapple poisonous?

Pineapple is innocuous. The pineapple itself is non-toxic, but the extract from the leaf stem of the pineapple is the embryonic form of the anesthetic, and the oxygen produced by light and action contains a small amount of alkaloids, which will produce symptoms such as dizziness and nausea for a long time. There will be hallucinogenic, paralysis and other symptoms for a long time, so it is best to put the pineapple outside, or fold its flowers down and insert the vase indoors, so it can play a healthy and ornamental role.

The function of pineapple

1. Ornamental value: pineapple is a kind of ornamental plant with strong ornamental flowers and leaves, which is very suitable for indoor decoration, especially can be cultivated indoors.

2. Purify the air: pineapple can not only absorb carbon dioxide in the air, but also play a role in purifying the air in the room, but also absorb the radiation emitted by computers and mobile phones, this effect is similar to the cactus. Therefore, pineapple is a good helper to purify the air.

How to raise pineapple flowers

1. Soil demand: the cultivation of pineapple should choose loose peat soil, humus soil and tree fern residue mixed culture soil. If it is family farming, it is best to choose rotten leaf soil plus a small amount of garden soil, or mix peat soil and perlite in half, and choose appropriate soil, so that pineapple flowers can better absorb water, so the demand of soil is also very important.

2, the temperature is suitable: if you want to cultivate good pineapple, the temperature demand must be understood first. In general, the optimum growth temperature of pineapple is 20 ℃ to 30 ℃, the highest temperature should not exceed 35 degrees, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees.

3. Suitable lighting: pineapple flowers still have a certain demand for light, which is also derived from the growing environment of pineapple flowers. Pineapple flowers are shade-loving plants, so they can not be exposed to direct sunlight. When the sun is in the sun for too much time, some leaves will be yellowed, and at the same time, appropriate amount of light will be needed for photosynthesis. Therefore, pineapple flowers are suitable for breeding in semi-shade or bright windows and indoors.

4. Appropriate amount of water: according to the needs of the growth of pineapple, the requirement of soil moisture for pineapple should not be too high or too low, to ensure that the soil surface in the basin is slightly dry, there is a leaf tube at the root of the pineapple, and there is a sink under the tube. to ensure that there is often water in the tank, can not be interrupted, but also pay attention to spray more misty water on the pineapple leaves, at the same time, it can also ensure the humidity of the air. To meet the needs of the growth of pineapple.

5. rational fertilization: no matter what plant needs nutrients, pineapple flowers mainly rely on leaf cups to absorb nutrients, so nitrogen fertilizer is applied once a week during the growth of pineapple flowers, and appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is applied before flowering to promote large color and colorful flowers. proper fertilization is also an essential process for breeding good pineapple flowers. Therefore, in the process of breeding, we should also pay more attention to the appropriate amount of fertilizer for pineapple flowers.
