What are the characteristics of green pineapple? How to grow green pineapple quickly and thickly? what kind of fertilizer should be used?

Green pineapple, commonly known as pothos or devil's ivy, is a perennial climbing vine with waxy, heart-shaped leaves and marble of white or yellow, usually grown in indoor, waiting rooms and commercial interior decorated gondolas. It is an epiphyte, which means it has aerial roots that hang on branches as it climbs. The ivy, a native of the Solomon Islands, is not hardy and cannot stand the cold in temperate climates, but it thrives in indoor potted plants. In the climatic zones 8 and 9 of Sunset, you can enjoy the summer heat and sunshine outside.

First, buy a green ivy seedling from the nursery, or cut a healthy small head from a plant as a kind of pruning. The tip of the cut should be 3 to 4 inches long, with terminal buds from the current season and at least four leaves. Cut directly below the gap, and then remove the bottom leaf.

Insert the seedlings or branches into a pot containing a well-drained soil mixture of two parts of loam, two parts of perlite or sand, and two parts of peat moss. The size of the potted plant is at least twice the size of the seedling root ball. Plant a cut deep enough to make it upright. Put the seedlings or branches in a place where the light is low to bright and water them.

Third, watering the soil when it is dry. If you are in bright light, you should often water the plants. Overwatering will turn the leaves of ivy yellow and the stems will rot. Excessive watering or dry air can cause brown spots on the leaves and brown edges. Spray leaves regularly to maintain humidity.

Fourth, fertilize with balanced fertilizer every month, that is, it contains the same amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Often trim the tops of ivy plants to control their growth. If you prune directly above a leaf, new twigs will appear and form new stems. Wipe the leaves regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust.

What you need: pruning shears, pots, loam, perlite or sand, peat moss, sprinkler cans, spray bottles, fertilizer, soft cloth.

You can also breed green apple ivy by bending the stem tip vertically in the soil. Fix it in place, cover all parts of the soil except 6 to 12 inches, and water the plants.

The size and color of an ivy leaf varies according to the light it receives. Bright light produces brighter leaves. Low light will make the leaves smaller and lighter in color.

The "tricolor" leaves of Rhodococcus viridis are marbled, light green, cream and dark yellow. The "Wilcoxii" variety is a combination of white and green. The leaves of the Marble Queen range from cream to white, grayish green and green.

Warning: if processed or swallowed, the juice of green radish and ivy can be irritating, so wear gloves when pruning the plant.
