Air rooting

When raising green pineapple. It is often found that it grows long fibrous roots, which are actually the so-called aerial roots. Facing these long roots, many flower friends don't know what to do.

In fact, these fibrous roots of green pineapple still play a certain role. These roots can mainly help the plant absorb water in the air, and then the branches and leaves of Bangzhi breathe. Therefore, the more prosperous the air roots grow, the more luxuriant the branches and leaves of green pineapple will grow.

If aerial rooting touches the soil or is inserted into the water, it will sprout a large number of small fibrous roots, and then it can further develop into the rooting of green pineapple. After growth and development, the plant is easier to grow new axillary buds and lateral buds, and the growth will be more robust.

But Xiaobian wants to tell you that it's best not to cut off the gas roots of green pineapple.

First of all, because the aerial rooting of green pineapple will play a good auxiliary role in its growth and development, so if you leave these aerial rooting, your green pineapple will grow more vigorously.

Secondly, if the aerial roots are cut off, there may be some adverse consequences, such as leaf damage, cracks and so on. Because cutting off the aerial roots will reduce the absorption of water by the leaves, and the leaves will have problems and affect the viewing.

Finally, if the aerial roots of green pineapple are cut short, the roots will leave wounds. The direct consequence of these wounds is that bacteria are more likely to invade. If the root is intact, the invasion of bacteria will be reduced. If the root is cut short and there is a wound, the bacteria will find the invasion gap, which will seriously lead to the root rot of green pineapple.

Therefore, it's best not to cut off the long roots of green pineapple. If you can, deal with these air roots and put them in a more suitable shape for viewing, which can also increase the ornamental ability of green pineapple~
