1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: between 16 and 27 degrees is the most suitable. Specifically, between March and September, 21 to 27 degrees is best. In the rest of the months, sixteen to twenty-one degrees is best. In winter, the temperature must not drop below five degrees for it to be safe.

2. Light: It is relatively sensitive to sunlight. Generally speaking, it prefers light, but strong light is not good. In other words, in summer, try to block 30 to 40% of the light. In other seasons, try to place it in a place with sufficient sunshine.

3. Watering: It requires more water. If you are short of water for a short period of time, you will not experience any adverse symptoms for the time being. However, if the water supply is insufficient for a long time, phenomena such as drying and yellowing of leaves will occur. In addition, the air humidity is best between 60 and 60 percent.

4. Fertilization: It is best to fertilize once a month, liquid fertilizer, etc. can be used. However, there is no need to fertilize in winter.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Propagation: A common method is sowing. In spring, "pot sowing" can be used. Choose a good substrate, such as peat soil, sand, etc. to mix in. It is best to disinfect first, for example by using high temperature. Also, choose the right seeds. After sowing, there is no need to cover with an extra layer of soil, just lightly press it. Pour an appropriate amount of water and then cover with a layer of film. After about ten to fifteen days, they will basically germinate.

2. Repotting: The frequency of repotting of tiger-striped pineapples does not need to be too high, usually every two or three years. It is more suitable to do it in spring. The new soil selected can also be prepared from peat soil, sand, vermiculite, etc. It is best when it has been sterilized by high temperature first.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 , Diseases: The main ones are "leaf spot" and "brown spot". The main damage is to its leaves. It can be prevented in advance by spraying Bordeaux liquid once every first half of the month. It can also be used to prevent and treat diseases after they appear.

2. Insect pests: Common ones include "whiteflies" and "scale insects", both of which can be treated with omethoate.

IV. Other questions
