When does the pineapple flower bloom?
Today, the editor will explain when pineapple flowers bloom and introduce the knowledge about the flowering period of pineapple plants in the field of green plants and flowers. Details are as follows:
The blooming of pineapple flowers does not have a fixed season, generally related to the growth time and maintenance. As long as the growth time exceeds 8 months (different varieties have different time requirements, ranging from 8 months to several years), and the plant is robust and large enough (including dead old leaves, should be more than 20), they may bloom. Let's take a look at when pineapple flowers bloom together!
When do pineapple flowers bloom?
Pineapple flowers can bloom on their own when they have more than 30 leaves under natural growth and in suitable environmental conditions, with the main flowering period being late spring to early summer. To make ornamental pineapple flowers bloom faster, most people use artificial methods to induce flowering. When a holiday is approaching, people use artificial methods to make sure that the colorful ornamental pineapple flowers can be seen during the festival.
Artificial flowering methods for pineapple plants
The most common method used for artificial flowering of pineapple plants is to treat with a saturated acetylene solution. Connect a rubber tube from the acetylene gas bottle to a water storage container, immerse the tube with holes evenly in the water, and slowly release the acetylene gas into the water at a pressure of 0.5 Pa. The aeration time for 100 liters of water should be at least 45 minutes. When the water coming out of the container has a strong odor, it can be used for flowering. Pour the acetylene solution into the "leaf cup" of the pineapple plant that has been drained of water, using just enough to fill the leaf cup. Repeat this process 3 times, with an interval of 2-3 days each time, and generally the flowers will bloom within 3-4 months after treatment.
Precautions for artificial flowering of pineapple plants
1. Choose plants that have completed the stage of nutritional growth, with at least 20 fully developed leaves, including dead old leaves, to accumulate enough nutrients. If there are too few leaves and not enough nutrition, even if flowering is induced successfully, the flowers will not meet the ornamental standards.
2. Generally, it should be done at a room temperature of about 20°C. The higher the temperature, the shorter the flowering time; the lower the temperature, the longer the flowering time. However, it is difficult to succeed in flowering if the daily minimum temperature is below 15°C.
3. Stop fertilizing two weeks before the flowering treatment and only water with clean water. Start fertilizing two weeks after the flowering treatment, using less nitrogen fertilizer and more potassium fertilizer to prevent green flower spikes from forming.
4. Do not turn off the acetylene gas valve during the flowering process, as acetylene gas easily evaporates from the water. If the valve is turned off, the concentration of acetylene in the water will gradually decrease, affecting the flowering effect.
