Pineapple cultivation mainly uses the crown buds and stem buds of the second fruit, as well as the buds collected during garden clearing in winter or the buds cultivated in seedbeds.

Usually, you need to select fresh pineapple seedlings, peel off the dead leaves and several green leaves at the base of the seedlings with your hands, and expose the root points of the pineapple so that the pineapple seedlings can take root as soon as possible. When planting, it is best to sow shallowly to avoid planting too deep and causing soil to splash into the center of the plant, which will affect the later growth of the pineapple and even cause the pineapple seedlings to rot.

1. Processing seedlings

Pineapples are mainly grown using the crown buds and stem buds of the second fruit plant, as well as the sprouts collected during garden clearing in winter or the sprouts cultivated in the seedbed. In Guangxi, it is generally best to plant from March to September, and in Guangdong, it is generally best to plant from April to August.

2. Planting pineapples

Select fresh pineapple seedlings, peel off the dead leaves and several green leaves at the base of the seedlings with your hands, and expose the root points of the pineapple for easy access to the pineapple sprouts. The seedlings can take root as soon as possible. If you use buds for planting, you need to remove the fruit tumors at the base of the buds and then peel off the leaves for planting. When planting, it is best to sow shallowly to avoid planting too deep and causing soil to splash into the center of the plant, which will affect the later growth of the pineapple and even cause the pineapple seedlings to rot.

When planting pineapples, the soil should generally not cover the central growth point of the pineapple. Usually, pineapples grown using crown buds should be planted at a depth of 3-4cm. Pineapples grown using sucker buds should be planted at a depth of 4-5cm. , pineapples grown using large suckers should be planted at a depth of 6-8cm. Because it is sown shallowly, after the pineapples are planted, the soil needs to be compacted so that the sprouts can fully contact the soil so that they can take root quickly and prevent the pineapples from lodging due to strong winds.

Before planting pineapples, the soil required for planting pineapples is loose and fertile. The soil is rich in organic matter. Controlling the soil pH value at 5-5.5 is beneficial to the growth of pineapples. If the soil is neutral or even alkaline If so, it will be extremely detrimental to the growth of pineapples. To improve soil conditions, you can consider Woye microbial inoculants.
