Pineapple propagation mainly relies on the crown bud part. Cut off the upper crown bud, peel off the old outer leaves, and place them in a well-ventilated place to dry. Prepare a suitable container, fill it with a certain amount of water, and place the crown buds on top to encourage the growth of small roots underneath. After the root growth below is stable, transplant it into a flower pot and pay attention to subsequent maintenance and management.
1. Cut off the crown buds
1. Cut off the crown buds
Pineapple propagation mainly relies on the crown buds. No special preparation is required. You only need to process the pineapples you usually buy for eating, and cut the crown buds on them. Come down and cut from the junction with the pulp. There should be no pulp left in the upper part to prevent the later effects of rot. The upper leaves should be kept green and upright. Peel off the old outer leaves to expose the white parts and place them in a well-ventilated place to dry.
2. Hydroponic root stimulation
Prepare a suitable container to ensure that the crown buds can be placed. You can also use a double-layer structure, which will have better results. The water quality is not too special, just use tap water after drying. Place the crown buds on top in a sunny location to encourage the growth of small roots underneath.
3. Rooting and transplanting
Don't rush to transplant when the plant has just grown small roots. You can wait until the roots below grow stably before transplanting. The flower pot you prepare at the beginning does not need to be too big, otherwise it will not be beneficial to growth. Fill it with breathable soil and bury the plant in it.
IV. Maintenance and Management
Enter After the pot is placed in a well-lit place, it can be fully exposed to sunlight. Pay attention to proper watering and keep it slightly moist.
