How to grow pineapples

1. Choose pineapple

When planting pineapples, you first need to choose suitable ones. Try to choose those that are fuller and fuller. They must also be healthy, with firm and green leaves, and free from diseases and pests.

2. Cut off the crown bud

Cut off the crown buds on the pineapple and cut them from the junction with the flesh to ensure that there is no remaining flesh on it, otherwise it may cause rot and deterioration. Then remove the old leaves on the outside, exposing the small white roots underneath, and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry so that the wound part can dry out and prevent rot.

3. Hydroponic Germination

If you want to use hydroponics to germinate the pineapple, you must first prepare a container with a suitable size and preferably made of transparent glass. If the diameter is not suitable, you can find a foam board and dig a small hole to support the top bud of the pineapple. Then fill the bottle with an appropriate amount of water, which should not exceed the level of the roots. Also remember to change the water every day. Place it in an environment with diffuse light, and roots will grow in about a week.

4. Performing Transplantation

After it grows roots in the water, you can transplant it into the soil and control factors such as temperature, water, and light to promote the healthy growth of the plant.
