Bromeliad is a very beautiful plant, its leaves are bright red and very charming. If we want to grow bromeliads at home, we first need to learn how to pot and care for them, and I will introduce in detail next.
I. Potting Time
Before potting bromeliads, we need to consider the choice of time. The best time for potting is spring or summer. At this time, the temperature is relatively warm, which is conducive to its growth.
II. Choosing Suitable Soil
Potting bromeliads requires soil with good permeability, such as vermiculite and peat-based soil. In addition, we can also add some decomposed leaves or zeolite.
III. Choosing a Suitable Pot
When choosing a pot, we need to pay attention to its size and shape. Generally speaking, the diameter of the pot should be 2-3 cm larger than the diameter of the bromeliad, so that it can leave enough space for growth.
IV. Maintaining Sufficient Light
Bromeliads like light, so during the planting process, we need to let it receive sufficient sunlight as much as possible, which will make its growth faster.
V. Paying Attention to Appropriate Temperature
Bromeliads are more adapted to higher temperatures, and the indoor temperature is best maintained around 20-30 degrees Celsius. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to moisture retention and ventilation, allowing it to grow in a warm and humid environment.
VI. Watering Appropriately
Bromeliads need to maintain a certain humidity, but excessive watering should be avoided, as it will adversely affect their growth. It is recommended to water once or twice a week to keep the soil moderately moist.
VII. Reasonable Fertilization
Appropriate fertilization can promote the growth of bromeliads, but we need to pay attention not to over-fertilize. Generally speaking, fertilization can be done every 1-2 months.
VIII. Paying Attention to Pest and Disease Control
During the planting process, we need to pay attention to pest and disease control. If abnormal growth is found in the bromeliad, we need to deal with it in time to avoid affecting its normal growth.
IX. Timely Pruning
The growth rate of bromeliads is relatively fast, so we need to prune them in time to keep them tidy and beautiful. During pruning, try not to damage its leaves and stems.
X. Controlling Growth Height
The growth rate of bromeliads is relatively fast. If its height is not controlled, it will affect its beauty. During the growth process, we need to trim and control the height in time.
XI. Paying Attention to Avoiding Strong Light
Although bromeliads like light, too strong light will also have an adverse effect on their growth. For the placement position, we need to choose places that avoid direct strong sunlight.
XII. Regularly Changing Soil
Potted bromeliads are prone to breeding bacteria, so we need to change the soil regularly. It is recommended to change the soil once a year to ensure its healthy growth.
XIII. Be Careful During Irrigation
During irrigation, we need to avoid splashing water as much as possible to avoid affecting the normal growth of bromeliads. At the same time, we need to make sure the bromeliad absorbs the water completely to avoid waste.
XIV. Paying Attention to Indoor Air Circulation
Maintaining indoor air circulation can provide a good growing environment for bromeliads. It is recommended to open windows frequently for ventilation.
XV.
From the above introduction, we can see that potting bromeliads is not difficult, just need to master the planting and maintenance skills. Hope everyone likes it and successfully pots a beautiful bromeliad.
