How to raise bromeliads, how to raise bromeliads

Bromeliads like warm and humid climate environment, like full sunlight, winter to increase the temperature appropriately, in summer do not shine pineapple directly in the sun, to properly shade, bromeliads like semi-shaded living environment.

Bromeliads are the growing season in spring and autumn, and this is the time to water properly and keep them moist. During the growth period, attention should be paid to additional fertilization to ensure the nutrition of pineapple flowers during the growth period**, which can grow larger leaves and flowers.

Bromeliads prefer fertile, loose, and well-drained sandy soils. The maintenance of bromeliads is also easy, as long as they like to be warm and moist according to the living habits of bromeliads, and keep the light, water, fertilizer and soil in line with the growth requirements of bromeliads. Generally, in winter, bromeliads enter the hibernation period, so don't water and fertilize the bromeliads anymore, and wait for the next spring to be maintained.

Maintenance of bromeliads Usually try to keep them indoors, which can be kept cool and not exposed outdoors. When the climate is dry, the bromeliads should be watered in time. Usually in the growth period of pineapple flowers, we should also pay attention to increasing fertilization.

The maintenance of ornamental pears is extremely easy, as long as they like high temperature, humidity, and semi-shade habits, they can be placed in a warm and bright room all year round. Full sunshine in winter, morning and evening in spring and autumn, and no direct sunlight in summer. The light is bright and the leaf surface is bright in color.

The overwintering temperature should not be lower than 10, and higher than 20, which is not conducive to plant dormancy, and will affect the growth and sweat of the next year.

During the growing period from late spring to autumn, you can increase the amount of watering appropriately, and you can also fill some water in the leaf tube, and you need to change the water once every half a month to avoid water deterioration and stinkiness. Foliar water is often sprayed. In winter, it is advisable to dry the pot, but not too much.

From May to September, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once a week, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be appropriately applied before flowering to promote large and colorful flowers. When flowering, do not irrigate the tube and store it in a place away from sunlight to prolong the flowering period. After flowering, the flower stalk must be cut off to reduce nutrient consumption.

Do not fill the tube with water in winter.

The root system of ornamental pineapples is not very developed, there is no taproot, and some roots also like to contact with air, so planting in small pots and shallow pots will grow and develop better than using large pots and deep pots. It is best to add a small amount of garden soil to the potting soil, or mix it with peat and perlite.

After flowering, the central leaf cluster dies and the next daughter plants continue to grow. When this seed plant is 15 cm tall, it can be removed from the mother plant and replanted. In doing so, it can only be "passed on from generation to generation", and the number of breeding is limited.

Therefore, it is best to combine the spring repotting, cut the small tuber cuttings that grow out of the tuber part of the mother plant, or use the young shoots germinated from the roots of the old plant to grow roots, all of which should be protected from shade and moisturizing, and when the root system grows to 2-3 cm, it can be planted. If cultivated properly, a mother bead can reproduce about 10 plants per year.

Bromeliads are native to the jungles of Mexico to southern Brazil and northern Argentina, bromeliads are a very ornamental flowering and foliage plants, especially can be cultivated indoors, as a home gardening ornamental is of high taste, many people do not know how to raise bromeliads, this article introduces the cultivation methods and precautions of bromeliads.

Propagation method of bromeliads.

Bromeliads have become the most important ornamental flowers indoors, and flower friends who like to maintain pineapples are more than Qi Qing, and the propagation methods for bromeliads can be divided into three types: cuttings propagation, branch propagation, and sowing propagation.

1. Dividing propagation: The leaf axils at the base of the ornamental pineapple will continue to grow small buds, and when they grow 5-6 leaves, they can be cut off and propagated by cuttings, and the roots can be born in about 1 month.

2. Cuttings propagation: You can combine the spring pot change, cut the small tuber cuttings that grow out of the tuber part of the mother plant, or use the roots of the old pineapple plant, and sprout the young shoots that have grown roots, all of which should be shaded, moisturized and insulated, and the soil should be half of humus and plain sandy soil, and when the root system grows to 2-3 cm, it can be planted.

3. Sowing and propagation: under the condition of 25 to 30, the seeds obtained after flowering by artificial auxiliary pollination are used for sowing, which can emerge in about 4 weeks, and can grow into flowering bromeliad plants in about 3 to 4 years.

Cultivation method of bromeliads.

1. Light: pineapple habits like semi-shade, should be prevented from scorching sun exposure, placed in semi-shade or bright windows, indoors.

The original state of pineapple is parasitic under a kind of tree in the tropical rainforest, so its demand for sunlight is not particularly large, when the sun is too long, it will produce a part of the leaves yellowing, and then, the tip of the flower is a little dry, and so on.

If it is cultivated outdoors in spring, summer and autumn, it should be properly shaded, especially in the summer season, it needs to be shaded by 70%.

Direct sunlight will make the leaf temperature higher than the air temperature, and if the leaf temperature is too high, it will cause burns, scorched and trapped leaves, so that the flower buds will fade and the leaf growth will be slowed down.

2. Temperature: The most suitable growth temperature for growing pineapples is 20 to 30, the maximum temperature should not exceed 35, the lowest temperature is 14, and there is a possibility of freezing damage at any time below 10.

In winter, it is best not to put it under the heater, because in that case, it will be particularly harmful to dry, and it will roast it, like people can't always stand next to the heater to roast, and it is easy to catch fire.

Reporter: In recent years, ornamental pineapples have been loved by consumers because of their bright flowers and colorful leaves, especially in winter, which has added a lot of color to people's lives. But many people don't know its growth habits, will not maintain, a few days ago a friend said to me, their domestic bromeliads, at the beginning is green leaves straight, young leaves bright red and delicate, very beautiful.

But after a few months of raising on the balcony, the red leaves began to fade, and the tips of the leaves gradually turned yellow, and I don't know why. So, what is the reason, let's ask the professionals to talk about it.

Liu Ping (horticulturist) A flower club base in Beijing: Because the original state of the pineapple itself is parasitic under a tree in the tropical rainforest, so its demand for sunlight is not particularly large, when the sun is too long, it will produce a part of the leaves yellowing, and then, the tip of the flower is a little dry, and so on.

Tip 1: Pineapple habits like semi-shade, should be protected from scorching sun exposure, placed in semi-shade or a window with brightness, indoors.

Liu Ping: Actually, these flowers like the ones we raise are no longer the kind of flowers native to the wild, most of them are in greenhouses, after a long period of domestication, so there is generally no problem in raising them indoors.

Liu Ping: In winter, if it is not lower than about 15 degrees, there should be no problem, like the general home has heating, there should be no problem.

Tip 2: The temperature of growing pineapples should not be lower than 15 degrees.

Expert: There should be no problem under the air conditioner, but it is better not to put it under the heater, because in that case, it will be very harmful to dry, and it will roast it, like people can't always stand next to the heater to roast, it is easy to catch fire.

Tip 3: Don't put pineapples next to heating facilities.

In fact, keeping these points in mind, it is much easier to maintain pineapples, but there is another point to remind you, because the biggest weakness of pineapples is not the fear of cold, but the fear of soaking in water, so there is a lot of knowledge in watering, many people think that watering flowers is not easy, isn't it just to take a watering can to water the flowers? If so, you are very wrong, and if you don't believe me, I'll ask another expert.

Interview with Patrick Xia, Senior Horticulturist:

Xia: When watering, we usually understand that it is to water the potting soil, the bromeliad potting soil watering to the surface of the potting soil is slightly dry, that is, the surface of the soil is 1 2 cm dry, and then watering the second time, not too wet, too wet is easy to soak the roots rotten.

Xia: Yes, bromeliads have a leaf tube at the root of the leaves, and the leaf tube has a water tank, to ensure that there is always water in the tank, and it cannot be broken, and the water in the leaf tube after a period of time, for example, for about ten days, you have to replace it, so as not to smell the water, and you can usually spray some mist water on the surface, leaves, and flowers.

Bromeliads have always been regarded as a symbol of good luck and prosperity because of their beautiful and varied flower shapes and long ornamental periods. Well, knowing the maintenance method of pineapples, do you also want to buy a pot and put it at home to add a touch of festive atmosphere?

Bromeliads are also called good luck, and raising one can bring good luck.

Pineapples are placed in a well-lit place, but not in direct sunlight, watered once or twice a week, the water is lukewarm, watered to the center of the flower, and the potted substrate is kept slightly moist.
