How to grow pineapple leaves

1. Cut off the leaves

When we buy fresh, big pineapples, in addition to eating the flesh at the bottom, we can also cut off the leaves on top and use them to cultivate green plants. Prepare a handy knife and cut it from the junction of the fruit part and the leaf part. The flesh must not be left, otherwise it may cause rot, and the small leaves in the middle must not be damaged. Process the leaves, peel off some of the old leaves on the outside, preferably exposing the white stems, and place them aside to dry before hydroponics.

2. Prepare the container

For hydroponics, a suitable container is also very important. It must match the size of the plant. If the diameter is larger, you can use a foam board. Fill it with standing tap water and add appropriate nutrient solution.

3. Water exchange cultivation

Place the cut leaves in a bottle and replace with fresh water every day to promote early rooting. Do not ignore them for a long time, otherwise pathogens will appear inside.

4. Transplantation into the basin

After the roots grow, you can transplant it into a flowerpot. Make sure to add water and water it after the soil in the pot is dry. It can be exposed to normal sunlight. Also pay attention to ventilation conditions and ensure good air circulation.
