How to fertilize tiger pineapple

What kind of fertilizer is needed?

The so-called right medicine for the right disease means to see what the plant needs. They can only grow well if the fertilizer is used correctly. Not only our tiger skin pineapple, almost all pineapples need magnesium. If the magnesium content is sufficient, they can synthesize sufficient chlorophyll and enzymes, which is very beneficial to plant growth. The optimal magnesium content is about 12%.

Fertilization tips

When applying fertilizer, you must pay attention to the coordination of fertilizer and water. This kind of plant should be fertilized along with water. That is to say, you can fertilize every time you water, but since it has reached a certain frequency, the fertilizer should be diluted to an appropriate concentration, not too concentrated. The pH of the fertilizer must also be well controlled. The most suitable pH is between 5.5-6.0.

Time of fertilization

There is no need to apply fertilizer before the seedlings grow to 2cm. After they reach 2cm, you should also pay attention to following the rules. At this time, the EC value should be controlled between 0.5-0.8. This pattern can continue for four months, and after four months, EC can rise to 1. But this value is not absolute. When they reach the reproductive extreme, EC can rise to 1.2.

One thing to note at this time is that when you want to induce flowering, you should stop using fertilizer three weeks in advance. After successfully inducing flowering, you can continue to use an EC concentration of 1.2. In winter, this kind of plant basically goes into dormancy. At this time, they do not need to absorb nutrients and do not need to be fertilized.

Well, the above are the most important fertilizing techniques for this plant. Don’t worry, as long as you take good care of it and pay more attention to its growth, our colorful pineapple will definitely be able to grow well.
