1、 Sowing and propagation

1. Seed acquisition

Usually, many ornamental pineapples lose their vitality soon after their seeds are separated from their mother, so we must pick and sow them now when taking seeds. It generally takes 3 to 4 months from flowering to seed ripening. Because its seeds are very small, dozens of seeds can be produced on each fruit, not to mention the number of seeds on a plant, thousands of seeds. After harvesting the seeds, we can plant them

2. Seeded substrate

Before planting, we need to select the substrate, which is generally made of river sand, perlite and peat soil, and then give it high temperature disinfection

3. Sow

We sow the seeds on the surface of the substrate in turn, and then press it gently. We don't need to cover the soil on it, just cover it with a layer of film or glass to moisturize it. Then control the temperature between 24 and 26 degrees, and you can germinate in 7 to 14 days

2、 Ramet propagation

This method is generally carried out in spring, because the temperature is not very high at this time, so it is conducive to survival. How to divide the plants? As we all know, many small buds will grow at the base. When they grow 5 to 6 leaves, they can be cut off and planted separately. Basically, fibrous roots can grow in a month

3、 Cutting propagation

If we want to breed in this way, we can combine it with changing pots in spring. First, we cut a small stem from its mother plant, and then we can cut it into the soil, or divide it with the tender buds sprouted from its old plant. No matter which kind, we should remember to shade the cuttings and keep them moist and warm. In addition, when selecting the cutting soil, we usually use the soil mixed with rotten leaf soil and plain sandy soil, and then wait until the root system of these cuttings grows to 2-3cm, We can plant them
