First of all, we should talk about the most difficult sowing and propagation, because this kind of ornamental pineapple is difficult to obtain seeds in general, so we must choose the way of artificial pollination. But even if pollination is successful, the pineapple may not grow as expected. Most seeds lose their vitality soon after they leave the mother's body, so they should be collected and sown as soon as possible. A fruit can have dozens of seeds, so a single plant can have thousands of seeds. But each seed is very small, we must be careful.
The mixture of river sand, peat soil and perlite can be selected as the sowing matrix, and disinfection must be carried out before sowing. There is no need to cover the soil after sowing, but a layer of plastic film should be used to keep the temperature and humidity. The surrounding temperature should be kept at 24-26 ℃, so that it can germinate in less than half a month. When there are 3-4 true leaves, the transplanting operation can be carried out.
If possible, try to adopt this mode of reproduction, which is simple and fast. It is better to divide the plants around May, because the temperature is not high or low, which is very suitable for their growth. Take the whole plant out of the mother plant, you can directly use your hand to use oblique force, you can break off the buds used. The wound should be disinfected first, then dried, and then inserted into the prepared culture soil. The prophase wants proper shade, one or two months later grow new bud to be able to maintain normally..
This method is very common, and it is also a more suitable method for family breeding. But not all parts are suitable for cutting, generally using tiller bud cutting. The operation time of this method is generally before and after flowering, when the tiller buds grow to about 10 cm and there are 3-5 leaves, it can be operated. It's the same disinfection and air drying. After coated with rooting powder, inserted in the substrate, but also appropriate shade, one or two months after the normal maintenance.
