What are the characteristics and uses of pineapple? Pineapple planting precautions how to plant

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a succulent herb perennial. Its leaves are pointed, thick and long, spirally arranged, forming a rosette up to 1 meter high and 1.5 meters wide.

Pineapple has two suckers, one near the bottom of the stem and the other near the fruit. Fruits are multiple fruits formed by 100-200 berries. Pineapple fruit contains bromelain, which helps digestion. When immature, fruit can improve digestion, increase appetite, relieve indigestion and relieve sore throat. When ripe, fruit helps to reduce excess stomach acid. Because of its significant fiber content, it can also be used as a laxative to relieve constipation. Fruit juices from ripe fruits are diuretics, digestive supplements, for burns, itching and boiling. Leaves are used to treat fractures and relieve pain. Fruit is edible and can be eaten raw, cooked or preserved. It is sweet, very juicy and fragrant. The core of fruit is candy. Terminal buds and flowering stems are cooked as vegetables, added to soup or eaten raw. Young buds are eaten in salad or curry. Leaves are also a source of durable fibers, which are white, soft, silky, flexible and long short fibers. In the Philippines, pineapple fiber is used to make pia cloth. Plants cannot withstand waterlogging.

Points for attention in pineapple planting:

Pineapples don't need much water. They have very hard leaves, so they don't lose a lot of water by evaporation. They can rarely accept it.

Pineapples don't need much soil or high-quality soil. They belong to the family of the pineapple family, and like all pineapple plants, they do not have large roots.

Pineapples get a lot of water and nutrients from their leaves.

Pineapples like slightly acidic soil, which is what most gardens have.

Even in the hottest climate, pineapples can grow in plenty of sunlight, but they can grow well in mottled shadows.

Pineapples grow happily in flowerpots or pots.

Pineapples don't like wet, waterlogged soil, and their leaves are burned with concentrated fertilizer.

Plant pineapple: when eating pineapple, leave the pineapple head, this is the "seed" that can grow pineapple.

Don't put little things in a glass of water. I don't know where people know that everything needs to start in a glass of water. Really, this is absolute nonsense. In fact, it's better to let it solidify or dry for a day or two before planting.

If you use a jacket, make sure you remove all the flesh. You should also delete all small bottom leaves. Pull them down. The same is true of suckers. If there are very small or dead leaves at the bottom, pull them down.

Just make a small hole in the ground or pot and stick the small pineapple to it. Push the soil back and fix it around the base so that the pineapple is straight and will not turn over. If the soil is dry, give it some water.

okay. It will grow.
