How to grow a pineapple at home, the most detailed tutorial!

Spring and summer are the seasons for eating pineapples. The strong sweetness of pineapples makes people salivate. The sour taste is very suitable for eating one in the sultry season. Pineapple is rich in protein-decomposing enzymes, which is suitable for people who eat too much meat and greasy food for a long time. I really like to grow some fruits myself. Let me tell you how to grow a pineapple at home.

Tools/Materials

Pineapple crown buds, knife and water cup, culture soil, flower pot

01

Buy a pineapple: first Go to the supermarket and buy a pineapple, no matter the size, but you have to look at the quality of the pineapple. Generally, the shape of the better varieties is similar to a cylinder, or a short oval with slightly pointed ends, and the size is relatively well-proportioned. Such pineapples are of good quality.

02

Cut the leaf crown: that is, the head of the pineapple, the part with leaves. This part has the most nutritional value. Use a sharp blade to cut off the top of the pineapple. Remember not to cut your hands when cutting, and don't leave pineapple pulp on it, because the leaf crowns with pineapple pulp are easy to rot during cultivation.

03

Remove the leaves at the bottom: Remove the leaves at the bottom of the leaf crown, and then expose the roots of the leaves. Remember not to get wet. If there is water, please dry it before proceeding. One step, such pineapples are less likely to get sick during cultivation.

04

Prepare a clean transparent cup, any cup will do, or a soda bottle you drank from, to observe the growth of plants and put pure water in it.

05

Put the cut leaf crown into a cup of water, and soak the roots in the water for about 3 cm. Let the roots come into contact with water for growth and development. The growth environment also needs to be paid attention to. , place it in a ventilated and bright place, preferably with sunlight.

06

Wait for the leaf crown to grow well. In about two to three weeks, you will find that the roots are growing in the water. This means that the pineapple plantation is successful and you can Subsequent cultivation was carried out.

07

Prepare soft soil, plant the leaf crowns into the soil, and keep the soil moist. It will take about six to eight weeks to develop and grow. Water and fertilizer are not required. If you water too much, the plants will not be able to absorb it and will easily become damaged.

08

Put the pineapple in the soil and cultivate it, wait for 2 months, so that you can wait for the pineapple to mature.

Special Tips

After growing in soil for a week, pineapples can begin to see sunlight, and the more sunlight, the better.

Use heavy soil or overwater, which can lead to fungus and rot.

Winter planting must be heated. If the temperature is too low, pineapples will be easily damaged.

When the pineapple head is soaked in water, the water will slowly turn yellow. Be careful to change the water regularly, usually once a day.
