Pineapple, mainly from tropical rain forest areas, likes to grow in high temperature and humid environment. If you need to breed indoors, you must grasp the factors such as sunshine, water and air. Generally speaking, the room temperature should be controlled at15-20℃, which is beneficial to the growth of pineapple. From the temperature point of view, pineapple is suitable for indoor culture. From the soil, it is suitable for the growth of pineapple in peak season. Therefore, in the flowering stage, it is necessary to spray water around every day, so as to increase the humidity in the air and soil.
2. Lighting
Pineapple blossom, like half cloudy, so it should avoid the exposure of the hot sun, and it is recommended to put it in a window with light. Pineapple is parasitic in the tropical rain forest, so it doesn't need much sunlight. When there is too much sunlight, some leaves will turn yellow, and then the flower tips will be a little dry. If it is cultivated outdoors, attention should be paid to shading in spring, summer and autumn, especially in summer, direct sunlight will burn and scorch the leaves, which will slow down the growth of the leaves.
3. Fertilization
Pineapple is a parasitic plant, so the root system is underdeveloped and there is no main root. Therefore, it is not recommended to add too much fertilizer to the pot, which is also the main reason why the leaves are yellow and the roots are rotten. Therefore, it is suggested to plant in a small pot, let its roots contact the air, add some pastoral soil to the soil, or combine peat in half, and the effect will be better.
4. Reproduction
Nowadays, the common culture method is mass propagation, and ramets can be carried out in spring. In culture, young leaves are used as explants, which are induced by callus to differentiate into clustered buds, and then induced to take root and become seedlings. Generally speaking, it takes about 4 months from inoculation to seedling transplantation, and it will bloom in 2-3 years after planting.
5. Matters needing attention in pineapple cultivation
In the process of cultivating pineapple, we must trim it in time, especially the dead branches and leaves, so as to maintain its beauty. In addition, after the pineapple flower enters the flowering period, attention should be paid to the adjustment of water and fertilizer, and the number of fertilization should be reduced as much as possible to maintain sufficient water, which can effectively extend its flowering period.
