Raising green pineapple cannot grow into a big pillar without pruning.

Green pineapple is a very elegant foliage plant, many flower friends like to raise green pineapple. However, the green pineapple is always small leaves, thin plants, has not been long, this is how to return a responsibility. As a matter of fact, green pineapple cannot grow into a "big pillar" if it is not pruned for a long time, so learn to prune it in order to grow strong.

Potted green pineapple, planted in each pot or cut directly, with brown columns set up in the middle of the pot, is convenient for green pineapple to grow upward. Plastic pruning is carried out in the spring. When the stem vine of green pineapple is covered with brown column and the tip is about 20 cm beyond the brown column, cut off the stem tip of 2-3 of them by 40 cm. When new buds and new leaves sprout after truncation, cut off the stem tips of other plants.

In addition, if the whole plant or the lower half of the green pineapple is defoliated due to freezing in winter or other reasons, flower friends can truncate half of the stem of the green pineapple plant by 1 / 2, and the other half by 2 / 3 or 3 / 4, so that the cut mouth is staggered high and low, so that the new leaves under the cut can quickly grow strong and fast, covered with brown columns.

After pruning the green pineapple, the next step is to carry out normal maintenance and management, and flower friends should also master good skills:

1. Planting green pineapple, planting and turning the pot to change soil in spring, or cutting directly on the pot during the growing period, planting 4-5 plants in each pot. The mixed soil of rotten leaf soil, garden soil and river sand should be selected for basin soil. The young plants change the pots once a year, and the adult plants change the pots every 2 to 3 years. Pour water once after planting, keep it in the shade, and carry out normal management in the shady place after the growth is restored.

2. Potted green pineapple should ensure water supply during the growing period and always keep the potted soil moist. Especially in the summer growing season, the temperature is high, should be watered once a day, often keep the basin soil moist. If the weather is dry and the air is dry, you should often spray water to the leaves, brown columns and the surrounding ground to increase the air humidity and wash the dust off the leaves. The air humidity is generally kept above 70%.

In addition, the growth period to force fertilizer, generally 2-3 times a month to apply thin green pineapple special liquid fertilizer. If fertilization is timely and adequate, the leaf surface can be enlarged, and the leaf color will be thick green and shiny. If the fertility is insufficient, the internodes are slender, the leaves are small and thin, and lose luster, thus reducing the ornamental value.

3. The suitable temperature for the growth of green pineapple is 1525 ℃, and it should be moved into the greenhouse in winter. Families with heating conditions can be placed in the sunny place indoors. The temperature can still grow normally when the temperature is above 15 ℃, but the lowest temperature can not be lower than 10 ℃, otherwise yellow leaves and fallen leaves are easy to occur. The summer sun is strong, so it must be shaded and placed under the shade shed or under the big trees to avoid strong direct sunlight.

Green pineapple can be cultivated and watched indoors all the year round, but it should be placed in a place with bright indoor light. If the leaves are kept in dark places for too long, the leaves become smaller, the internodes lengthen, and the growth is thin, the leaf color spots of some varieties will gradually fade, become lighter, or even disappear completely, reducing the ornamental value. Therefore, after putting it in a dark place for 20 to 30 days, you should move to a bright place for maintenance for a period of time. After such rotation, the original characteristics of the variety can always be maintained.
