Pineapple leaf seed hydroponics method: to remove the lower part of the leaf crown, so that the bottom of the bare stem of about 4 centimeters long exposed.
The crown of the treated leaves is placed directly in a shaded and ventilated place for 1~2 days to let its wounds heal, pineapple is very easy to rot, especially with a knife cut.
Drying the wound of the leaf crown can be directly immersed in water for about 3 centimeters, prepare a transparent cup, directly put the leaf crown can be placed in it, after that it is placed in a bright light, ventilated and warm window sill, to maintain a certain degree of humidity in the environment.
After that, you have to change the water every 2 days to keep the water active in order to induce the root system easily, otherwise the pineapple will rot easily.
The higher temperature 2~3 weeks can root, if the temperature or humidity is not enough, then the rooting is very slow, before rooting are to change the water frequently, after rooting, you wait for the clear water to become cloudy and then change the water.
Hydroponics is a new type of soilless cultivation of plants, also known as nutrient solution cultivation, the core of which is to directly infiltrate the plant's root system in a nutrient solution, which replaces the soil and provides the plant with water, nutrients, oxygen, and other growth factors, so that the plant can grow normally.
In the soil, organic matter is broken down by soil microorganisms and animals and converted into the mineral nutrients needed for plant growth. Water in the soil dissolves these mineral nutrients (usually in an ionic state), making them available for uptake by plant roots. In order for plants to receive a balanced supply of nutrients, the soil must have the optimal ratio of each substance, but unfortunately, such "perfect" soil is rare in nature.
With hydroponics, plants can absorb nutrients and water directly from the nutrient solution through their roots, and people can manually mix a balanced solution to achieve a balanced plant diet, which is obviously much easier than finding the perfect soil. Because these solutions are in containers, they can be recycled and will not flow into the soil and affect the environment, making them safe, reliable and sustainable.
Applications of hydroponics:
(a) For hydroponic vegetables
Cultivating non-polluting green food, healthy and safe, is highly valued by people.
(ii) for hydroponic flowers
Hydroponic flowers have the advantages of cleanliness and hygiene, easy maintenance, etc., especially suitable for indoor decoration, loved by consumers.
(C) for the cultivation of medicinal plants
Many medicinal plants are root plants, root growth environment is very critical, hydroponics, especially fog cultivation can provide a good environment for the roots of medicinal plants, and thus planting effect is very obvious.
