The smell of flowers gentle, not strong, with a typical pineapple flavor. Subsequently formed a complex fruit, harvested from the set of hexagons. As soon as the stem starts to grow, renew nitrogen feeding. After a while the fetus becomes an amber-yellow color with a typical pineapple aromas and flavors. From flowering to full ripening takes place from 4 to 7 months depending on the varietal characteristics.
Often crown prevents complete the widening of the stems, taking the full force of its development. There are usually offered at once to remove her point of growth. Beginners it is difficult to make because you can miss the point pinched. Better to wait until the end bloom. But virtually impossible to remove the growing point, because it is the plant one and originates from the root of the neck.
So the notion of 'deletion points of growth' conditional. Through pinched, there is growth inhibition of the crown. Trimming of the growing point should be repeated several times. We can add that value also depends on the whorls of varieties of pineapple. If you do not transplant the pineapple flowers every year. After Flowering transplanted child outlet. Soil mix for plants are made of sod, leaves, humus, sand and peat. Before pineapple reaches maturity, it should be twice transplanted: the first time – in three months after the removal of basal offspring, the second time – a year later. Remember the sharp bevel on the leaves of pineapple and all work is carried out with gloves on! Preparing for a new pot plants, take care of good drainage. When 'll sprinkle the roots with fresh soil, do not ram it too much. Before transplanting well pour the plant after transplanting for two days holding a pineapple in the background, giving him the opportunity to properly take root. Disease and pest spider mites is affected by dry air, mealybugs, schitovkami on leaves and stems appear brown patches, aphids, phylloxera. The plant can be helped by treatment with soap and water, warm and washing the spray aktellikom (1-2 ml per liter of water). It is important to know the leaves of pineapple drying soil: the room is too hot and the plant is not enough moisture. Water and spray it on a regular basis. Bring a pot of more than cool place. The pale color of leaves: a sign of lack of light. Put the pot closer to the window. The tops of the leaves become brown and dry up: most likely, not humid in the room. Mist plant and increase the humidity in the room. Grows slowly and does not bloom: the lack of probable cause necessarily Feed the power plant. Dry out, curl and droop lower leaves – a sign of disastrous drafts. Put the pot in a sheltered place. The plant is rotting at the base: probable cause waterlogging of the soil, and the room is too cold. Transfer the pineapple to a warmer and better ventilated room, a little dry ground. If the rot spreads above, the plant will die. Rosette leaves loose and falling to the side: the reason may be lack of light. Removed removed
