What are the cultivation methods and precautions for pineapples

Pineapple cultivation method

temperature

Generally speaking, the room temperature for pineapples is best controlled at 15-20℃, which is conducive to the growth of pineapple flowers. From the temperature point of view, pineapple flowers are suitable for indoor cultivation.

soil

Because pineapple has shallow roots, it grows best in loose, well-drained, organic-rich sandy loam with a pH of 5-5.5.

illumination

Pineapples prefer a semi-shaded growing environment and are suitable for diffuse light maintenance, so they should be kept away from exposure to the sun. It is recommended to place them in a window with light.

Watering

Pineapples like a humid growing environment. They need to be watered frequently during the growth period, and water should be poured into the leaf tube frequently so that there is sufficient water stored in the leaf tube so that they can grow well.

Under normal circumstances, pineapples need to keep the soil moist at all times, but do not water too much each time. Usually, it is enough to wet the surface of the soil. Water less in winter to keep the soil moist.

Fertilization

Generally, if the soil for planting pineapples is fertile, it is recommended not to fertilize it, otherwise the roots will easily rot. About 10 days after planting pineapples, a single foliar fertilizer needs to be applied. The concentration should not be too high. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 20-10-20.

prune

Pineapple flowers need to be pruned after they bloom. If there are branches growing at the base of the mother plant, when the small branches are about 6 cm, cut them off with a sharp knife. You can then plant them in river sand and place them in a dark, well-ventilated environment. They will then grow new roots and can be potted.

Precautions for pineapple cultivation

When growing pineapple flowers, you must prune them in time, especially the dead branches and leaves, so as to enhance the ornamental value of the plants. In addition, after the pineapple flowers enter the flowering period, you must control watering and fertilizing, reduce the number of fertilizations, and maintain sufficient water, which can effectively prolong its flowering period.
