7 tips for planting pineapple to start your home garden
We have separated seven tips for you not to make a mistake when growing your pineapples:
- Choose the right crown: The crown that will be planted must be healthy, avoid those with spots or fungus.
- Soil mixture: An ideal soil for pineapple cultivation is composed of three parts compost and 7 parts soil, that is, 30% compost and 70% soil.
- Patience: When growing the pineapple from the crown, be aware that it can take up to 3 years for the fruit to become ripe for harvesting.
- Watering: Initially, watering the pineapple should be done in the morning. Remember to water daily so that your plant can grow healthily.
- Luminosity: The pineapple is a tropical plant, so avoid extreme conditions. It likes moderate light, so a half-shaded environment is ideal.
- Attention to seedlings: Change the water frequently to avoid mold and mildew.
- Choose the right season: Of all the seasons, the best time to plant the pineapple is at the end of summer, that is, in March. This is because the temperature and humidity are ideal for young plants.
