What soil is suitable for growing pineapples?

Pineapple Introduction

Pineapple has a wide adaptability to soil growth. It grows best in mountain red soil or sandy loam that is rich in organic matter, well-drained, loose, and has a pH value of 5-5.5. It is not conducive to growth in poorly drained, barren, and heavy clay soils.

Pineapples grow best in well-ventilated acidic soil, especially yellow silt and black silt soil, which will grow pineapples better. Neutral or alkaline soil is not suitable for pineapple growth.

What soil should be used to grow pineapples?

Pineapple has a wide range of adaptability to soil and grows well in loose, breathable, well-drained, relatively fertile acidic soil. Acidic red soil with a pH between 4.5-5.5 is most suitable for the development of pineapple production.

Preparation of pineapple nutrient soil

Pineapples like to grow in strongly acidic soil. If planted in soil with a pH above 6.5, it will not be conducive to their growth. When the soil alkalinity exceeds pH 7, the plant becomes smaller. Its nutrient soil can be planted on black loam with a deep topsoil layer, high organic matter content, rich mineral elements, and good drainage and water retention properties.
