The culture method of feather-leaf pineapple

Feather-leaf pineapple, also known as pineapple, dragon grass, Jinpingfeng, dragon flower, etc., is an annual twining herb of the genus Prunus, native to tropical America, and is now widely distributed in the global temperate zone and tropics. It is relatively simple to cultivate and is a beautiful garden ornamental plant. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of Prunus chinensis.

The growth habit of Euphorbia pinnata

The feather leaf pineapple likes light, likes warm and humid environment, grows in the area of 0 to 2500 meters above sea level, is not cold-resistant, can self-sow (generally introduced by artificial cultivation), requires fertile soil. Strong resistance and easy management. The seedlings were planted artificially in March and the seedlings were transplanted with a length of 10 cm. In order to bloom more, it should be planted in the fertile soil in the sunny place. Potted plants should stand on brackets for winding, and they are extremely slender and beautiful when they bloom.

The Propagation method of Euphorbia pinnata

Feather-leaf pineapple is usually sown and propagated with seedling tray, about 100 grams per square meter of seedling bed, and about 1.5 cm of fine soil is covered after sowing, which is not too thin, otherwise it is easy to unearthed with seed coat. When the soil temperature is controlled at 20-25 ℃, the seedlings will emerge 4 days after sowing, but the seedlings are often irregular, so the seedlings should be carefully selected in order to make the seedlings neat. Seedlings are very afraid of drought, when the drought is slightly severe, it will die, even watering is difficult to recover, seedlings should pay special attention to this.

The culture method of feather-leaf pineapple

1. Selection of pots: choose a flowerpot of appropriate size, and the bottom hole of the pot is covered with two tiles or thin foam sheets, not only to ensure that the soil is not washed out by water, but also to allow excess water to flow out in time. A layer of ceramsite or broken red brick is placed on the tile or foam to serve as a filter layer, about 2cm to 3cm thick.

2. On the basin: when the small seedlings of the feathered pineapple are installed in the basin or the large plants that have been raised for several years are turned into the basin, put a coarse-grained matrix 2cm thick as a filter layer at the bottom of the basin, sprinkle a layer of fully mature organic fertilizer as the base fertilizer, with a thickness of about 1cm and 2cm, and then cover it with a thin layer of matrix, about 1cm thick, and then put in the plant to separate the fertilizer from the root system to avoid root burning.

3. Fertilizer and water: the feather-leaf pineapple is watered once after it is finished in the basin and maintained in a shaded environment for a week. When transplanting the seedlings, first dig the planting hole, sprinkle a layer of organic fertilizer at the bottom of the planting hole as the base fertilizer (base fertilizer), with a thickness of about 4cm to 6cm, and then cover a layer of soil and put it into the seedlings to separate the fertilizer from the roots and avoid burning roots. After putting it into the seedling, backfill the soil, cover the root system, and trample the soil with your feet and water it once.

4. Pruning: when the plant enters dormancy or semi-dormancy period in winter, the branches such as thinness, disease and insect, withered and overdense should be cut off. The branches can also be arranged in combination with cuttings.

5. Take off the basin: put the flowers that want to change the pot on the ground, first pat the four sides of the basin with a slap, so that the root system is shaken and separated from the basin wall, put the flowerpot upside down on the left hand, gently clamp the plant with the index finger and middle finger of the left hand, hold the edge of the basin with the wrist and fingertip, hit the bottom of the basin with the right hand, and then use the mother finger to top the root soil down from the bottom hole to let the plant out. After taking it off, gently pat the basin soil with both palms to let the excess soil fall off.

6. Change the basin: the maintenance method of the feather pineapple will grow very fast. when it grows to a certain size, we should consider changing it to a larger basin so that it can continue to grow vigorously. The culture soil and component ratio for basin change can choose one of the following, vegetable garden soil: slag = 3:1, or garden soil: medium coarse river sand: sawdust (slag) = 4:1:2, or one of paddy soil, pond mud, rotten leaf soil.
