How to take care of the newly bought pineapple tree

1. Soil

When planting it, choose loose sandy soil with good ventilation and drainage, which is very suitable for its roots to breathe. If the roots are damaged when purchasing or repotting, the soil and roots should be disinfected in time to avoid infection from bacteria that may cause root rot.

2. Environment

When you first buy it, you need to give it a comfortable environment. An environment with good ventilation and suitable temperature is more conducive to its growth. But except that it cannot withstand long-term exposure to the sun, everything else is fine. It is not afraid of drought, wind and frost, and has strong adaptability to the environment.

3. Watering

The stick tree has a very strong drought resistance and does not need frequent watering. Before watering, you should observe whether the soil is completely dry. Wait until it is completely dry before watering, and make sure to water thoroughly when watering. In winter, you should reduce watering and spray some water appropriately to increase the humidity.

4. Fertilization

Don't rush to fertilize the plant right after you buy it, as this may cause root rot. You can fertilize it once every half a month to make it grow faster. It is best to use liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, not too concentrated, as it will cause root rot.

5. Repotting and root treatment

Do not water the bachelor tree before repotting. When the soil is slightly moist, take it out and plant it in slightly moist new soil. Do not water it. Wait until the soil in the pot is dry, then water it thoroughly again. The roots of succulents are extremely important, and old and rotten roots should be trimmed every time the pots are repotted, including very long roots and injured roots.
