"Good Fortune on Top" 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 required.
Cultivation tips:
1. Soil selection
Choose northeast decomposed leaf soil or completely fermented nutrient-rich soil (which is breathable, has good water retention, does not easily accumulate water, and is beneficial for 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 other plants. Because the leaves of the "Good Fortune on Top" flowers are particularly large and curled up, they can hold water. From the bottom, the second and third layers of the leaf back need to always have a little water. As long as there is some water inside, it will slowly seep into the soil, so we don't need to water frequently.

3. Fertilization
"Good Fortune on Top" flowers, fertilization techniques, using fertilizer well can make the plant grow faster. I remember once I grew a pot on my balcony, and after a few months, many young plants popped out. When the new sprouts grew, I could get several pots by dividing them.
Suggested fertilizers include fermented rice washing water + urea or fermented cake fertilizer nutrient solution, diluted 20-50 times. If you find the smell of fermented fertilizer unpleasant and it's troublesome, you can spend a little money to buy some.
Every 20 days, you can use potassium dihydrogen phosphate once, diluted 1000 times to water the soil. It is not necessary to use it too frequently, otherwise it will dwarf the plant.
Note on fertilization: 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.
Questions from flower enthusiasts:
Why do the flowers of "Good Fortune on Top" turn yellow after some time?
This spraying is different from that of roses. It can only bloom once in its lifetime. After flowering, it is ready to be discarded, and no matter how you care for it, it will not bloom again. At this time, a large number of side buds appear at the bottom, and we need to fertilize immediately to let the small side buds grow quickly because the mother plant will soon die.
If there is not enough nutrients, when flowering, the side buds may not have erupted. In that case, after the flowers fade, the whole plant may die.
Encouraging the growth of side buds and potting them, then fertilizing them can make them bloom again. This is the life cycle of "Good Fortune on Top" flowers, which is quite "tragic."
My suggestion is to cut off the flowers promptly when they have no ornamental value, prune the flowers, and then increase nutrients to stimulate the growth of side buds. This way, it can extend the survival time of the mother plant, allowing the side buds to grow a bit, which is beneficial for later division.
