How to propagate the plant "Hongyun Dangtou" by division
The editor answers for everyone how to propagate "Hongyun Dangtou" by division and the experience of green plant maintenance including the propagation methods and precautions of "Hongyun Dangtou". The editor will explain in detail for you as follows:
As winter approaches, many flower enthusiasts ask me, "What flowers are better to grow in winter?" Actually, I think growing a pot of "Hongyun Dangtou" flowers is quite good. This kind of potted plant is suitable for indoor maintenance in winter. Those who like it can give it a try. For those who don't know how to maintain it, you can read the following maintenance skills, which are pure干货 sharing. If you like it, give it a thumbs up!
"Hongyun Dangtou" flowers, also known as pineapple, thrive in a suitable growth temperature of: 21~28 degrees Celsius during the day and 18~21 degrees Celsius at night. The highest temperature should not exceed 35 degrees, and the lowest temperature should not be below 10 degrees. In the south, there is basically no problem, but in the north, heating is needed.
Maintenance skills:
1. Soil selection
Choose northeast decomposed leaf soil or completely fermented nutrient soil (good breathability, strong water retention, not prone to waterlogging, conducive to root growth). Do not use sticky soil or garden soil.
2. Cold knowledge (watering)
The watering method for this type of potted plant is different from that of other plants. Because "Hongyun Dangtou" flowers have particularly large leaves that curl up, they can hold water. From the bottom up, the second and third layers of the leaf back need to always have a little water. As long as there is a little water inside, it will slowly seep into the soil. In this way, we do not need to water frequently.

3. Fertilization
"Hongyun Dangtou" flowers, a small fertilizing technique - using fertilizer well helps with faster division. I remember once growing a pot on the balcony, and after a few months, many small plants sprouted. Waiting for the new buds to grow and then dividing them can result in several pots.
It is recommended to use fermented rice water + urea, or fermented cake fertilizer nutrient solution to water the soil, diluted 20~50 times. If you find the smell of fermented fertilizer unpleasant or too troublesome, spend a bit of money to buy some.
Every 20 days, you can use monopotassium phosphate once, diluted 1000 times to water the soil. It is not necessary to use it too frequently, or it will dwarf the plant.
When using fertilizer, note: Do not spray on the leaves, and do not let the leaf back store water (except for clear water). Watering the soil is the best choice.
Flower friends' questions:
Why do "Hongyun Dangtou" flowers turn yellow after being maintained for a while?
This type of spraying is different from roses; it can bloom only once in its lifetime. After blooming, it is preparing to be discarded, and it will not bloom again no matter how well it is maintained. At this time, a large number of side buds appear at the bottom, and we need to fertilize them as soon as possible to let the small side buds grow quickly because the mother plant will soon die.
If there is insufficient nutrients, and the side buds do not burst out when flowering, it is very likely that the whole plant will die after the flowers fade.
Promoting the buds to be taken out can be potted, and after fertilizing, it can bloom again. This is the life cycle of "Hongyun Dangtou" flowers, which is too "tragic."
