Planting conditions

Due to its origin in tropical areas, pineapple likes warmth, avoids cold and is afraid of frost. When the temperature is low, it grows very slowly and requires a sunny environment

Most species do not have strict requirements for sunshine hours, but pistachio needs less than 12 hours of sunshine to bloom

It is not strict with the soil, but it grows well on fertile and loose soil

The weight of one thousand seeds is about 139, and the seeds can be used for 3 ~ 4 years. The fruit ripening period is inconsistent, and it is easy to fall off after ripening. It should be picked with ripening

Planting

Using ordinary nursery soil to sow and cultivate seedlings can grow well

Use the seedling tray to sow. After sowing, cover about 1.5cm of fine soil, not too thin, otherwise it is easy to excavate with the seed coat, and the seedlings will emerge 4 days after sowing

It is easy to sprout, but it is often not neat. Seeds should be carefully selected so that the seedlings are neat

Pineapple seedlings are very afraid of drought. When the drought is a little severe, they will die, and it is difficult to recover even if watered. Special attention should be paid to this point when raising seedlings

Because it is a straight root plant, it is best to use a plastic seedling pot with a diameter of 8cm to form seedlings, and only transplant the seedlings once, and plant one seedling in each container. The light should be fully seen at the seedling stage. If the seedlings are large and the vines are intertwined, they should be separated as soon as possible, and the seedling raising bowl should be moved a certain distance if necessary

Cultivation management

After the final frost, the pineapple is planted. In areas with relatively low night temperature, early planting is generally not advocated. It has strong self sowing ability. If you don't care about the early and late flowering, you can also use self sowing seedlings in the second year of cultivation. However, due to the lack of seed selection and late emergence, the greening effect is worse. The growth of Chinese prickly pear is large, so plantar fertilizer should be applied, sprinkled evenly and turned deeply

Dig the hole for planting, remove the plastic seedling bowl, plant the seedlings in the hole, one plant in each hole, cover the seedling lump with fine soil, then water, cover the soil and seal the hole

The plant spacing for seedling cultivation or fertile soil should be appropriately larger; Self sowing seedlings emerge late, the growth is delayed, and the plant spacing should be appropriately smaller. Watering in time can promote the growth of stems and leaves, but be careful not to grow wildly, so as not to delay flowering

In the early stage, manually guide the vine to the trellis, fence, tree or other supports. In the middle and late stage, the plant itself has strong climbing ability. In addition to modeling, it doesn't need to care about it and let it climb and entangle. Potted plants should be watered and fertilized frequently
