The Complete Guide to Water-Grown Flowers of Ornamental Pineapples

Hydroponic techniques for pineapples

1. The above-ground part of pineapple is large and heavy, while the root system is underdeveloped and dark brown, making it less ornamental. Medical stone or pebbles are often used to fix and cover the roots, and nutrient solution is added for cultivation.

2. You can use a very transparent container for water cultivation.

3. Be sure to clean the leaves regularly. You can add water into the tubular structure formed by the leaves, but be careful not to let the water drip onto the flowers.

Precautions for hydroponic pineapple

The roots of pineapples are particularly difficult to wash. They are densely packed and tightly wrap the soil. It is best to soak them in water for a day, then rinse off most of the soil with water, and then swing them back and forth in the water to let some small pieces of soil fall off. Finally, you need to pick the soil out of the roots little by little with your hands.

It should be noted that the soil must be washed cleanly, which is an important step in hydroponics. After washing, we will trim the roots and cut off all the tangled roots, that is, the roots in the outer circle. It is better to keep more than half. The next steps are drying, disinfection and taming. As we all know, there is nothing difficult about it. Just follow the general flower practices.
