Again to eat pineapple season, some flower friends want to pot their own pineapple at home, in fact, pineapple pot planting planting method is very simple, there are northern flower friends can also pot pineapple oh! But need to pay attention to the winter, for indoor heating flower friends potted pineapple on the more stress-free, here we go with the florist uncle to see how in the end to potted pineapple it?

The first step: potted pineapple to pick a healthy pineapple, because the pineapple are stored for a period of time, some of the leaves are withered, so choose its leaf clusters well-developed and intact as a whole, such as the white powder of the leaves are still in the leaf, the leaf green, etc., in order to improve the success rate you can buy a few more. For the core of the leaflets should be extra careful, not gently plucked off.

Step 2: Cut from the junction of the leaf clusters and the pineapple without the pulp.

Step 3: Peel off the outer green leaves layer by layer from the lower green leaflets, leaving 5-10 large leaves depending on the size of the leaf clusters, taking care to peel off only the outer green leaves. There may be some small leaves hidden between the green leaves and these are retained. This leaves 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm of white stem exposed in the lower part.

Step 4: Leave to dry in a cool place for a few days, then place in a glass or suitable bottle in hydroponics, with the water higher than halfway up the white stem but lower than the base of the leaves. Place in front of a window in bright diffused light, change the water once a day and the roots will normally emerge within a couple of weeks.

Step 5: Plant in slightly acidic well-drained cultivation soil. Pineapples are fibrous roots and are afraid of standing water in the soil. The cultivation soil does not need to be fertile and no base fertilizer is added. Because the pineapple's root system is not well developed, the pot does not have to be very large, and change to a larger pot when you change pots in the second year. Give 6 hours of sunlight after a week. Keep the cultivated soil moist. Watering is a little special. Pour a small cup of water into the center of the leaf clusters and over the leaves, allowing the water to flow down the plant and into the pot.

Step 6: Start fertilizing when new leaves begin to grow. If using a compound fertilizer, choose a variety that does not contain copper, boron. Prepare a small cup of fertilizer water at 1/4 concentration as directed and pour it over the center of the leaf clusters and over the leaves just as you would water.

In the absence of a sound root system, pineapples absorb water and nutrients retained in the leaf clusters mainly through the foliage. After two months of planting the root system is fully developed and it is raised like any other long day flower. Note that the pineapple is more drought-resistant, do not water too much, sunshine should be sufficient, the greater part of the good management can start buds, from flowers to fruits in about 200 days, in the process of maintenance found all the yellowing of the leaves broken off. Flower friends in the northern region should pay attention to consider the temperature, because pineapple is a tropical fruit, the northern region has heating is okay, no heating flower friends especially pay attention to insulation.

Raising flowers, look for the florist uncle!
