How to grow tiger pineapple well

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Between 16 and 27 degrees is the most suitable. Specifically, from March to September, the best temperature is 21 to 27 degrees. In the rest of the month, the best temperature is between 16 and 21 degrees. In winter, the temperature must not be lower than five degrees to keep it safe.

2. Light: It is quite sensitive to sunlight. Generally speaking, it prefers light, but strong light is not acceptable. That is to say, in summer, try to block out 30 to 40 percent of the sun. In other seasons, try to place it in a place with sufficient sunlight.

3. Watering: It requires more water. If you are dehydrated for a short period of time, no adverse symptoms will occur temporarily. However, if the water supply is insufficient for a long time, phenomena such as leaves drying up and turning yellow will occur. In addition, the air humidity should be between 60 and 150 percent.

4. Fertilization: It is best to fertilize once a month, and liquid fertilizer can be used. However, there is no need to fertilize in winter.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: A common method is sowing. In spring, the "pot sowing" method can be adopted. Choose a good substrate, such as peat soil, sandy soil, etc. to mix in. It is best to disinfect first, for example by high temperature. Also, choose the right seeds. After sowing, there is no need to cover with an extra layer of soil, just press it lightly. Pour an appropriate amount of water and then cover with a layer of film. After about ten to fifteen days, they will basically germinate.

2. Repotting: The frequency of repotting the tiger pineapple does not need to be too high, generally it should be repotted every two or three years. It is more suitable in spring. The new soil you choose can also be made of peat soil, sandy soil, vermiculite, etc. It is best when it is sterilized at high temperature first.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: The main ones are "leaf spot disease" and "brown spot disease", and the main damaged parts are the leaves. Prevention can be done in advance by spraying Bordeaux liquid once every first half of a month. It can also be used to control diseases after they appear.

2. Pests: Common pests are whiteflies and scale insects, both of which can be dealt with by using omethoate.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is a non-toxic species and poses no harm, so you can be assured when raising it.

2. Can it be raised at home? It is quite suitable to be kept at home, because it is an ornamental species in itself and will not have any bad effects.
