1. Remove pulp
First of all, thoroughly remove the pulp from the pineapple head, otherwise it will rot easily in water. Secondly, remove the leaves at the bottom correctly. Gently tear off the leaves with your hands to expose the growing point of your head. If there are no exposed growing points, it is difficult for roots to grow.
2. Hydroponic flowerpots
During hydroponics, you can find flowerpots or glasses recognized by hydroponics. Then put the pineapple head in, and then drain the water. The amount of water can be just below the growth point.
3. Maintenance and water change
After the water is put in place, it can be kept in a well-lit place. It is best to change the water every 3-4 days during the maintenance period. If the water is not changed for a long time, algae will grow in the water, which will affect the subsequent growth. In the process of changing water, two drops of nutrient solution should be added properly, so as to grow better. After about a week, pineapple leaves will grow a lot of roots.
4. Planting in pots
When the root system on pineapple leaves grows to 3-5cm long, prepare some loose flower soil for potted plants. Pineapple is a tropical fruit, which still requires temperature and environment. The soil should have enough nutrients, enough pores and ventilation, and there should be no water accumulation. Bury pineapple leaves with roots in flower soil.
5. Rooting water
Fixed root water still needs watering. Watering the flower soil thoroughly at one time. The flowerpot for planting pineapple is placed in the sunniest place in the home. Friends in the north are best indoors, and the south is free. The key is not to freeze pineapples grown in flowerpots. Heat preservation is the first step for pineapple to survive.
6. Pot fertilization
After the planted pineapple is successfully potted, a little fertilizer can be applied to the flower soil. Fertilization can be organic fertilizer, farmyard manure or compound fertilizer, and fertilization should be at the edge of the basin soil away from the roots. Remember not to fertilize the leaf core. Fertilization can make pineapple fruit bear more fruits, and the nutrient content in the soil is very small. Therefore, if possible, it is best to add a little fertilizer.
That's how to grow pineapples at home. It's pineapple season. When you eat pineapple, you can keep its head for planting. According to the above method, I believe it can be planted successfully.
