Cultivation method of purple pineapple

1. Lighting conditions

When cultivating purple bromeliad, light conditions are very important. This plant prefers a semi-shaded environment and cannot be placed directly under the scorching sun.

2. Temperature

Purple bromeliad flowers can only grow normally in the right temperature. This plant prefers a warm environment of 20 to 30 degrees, but the maximum temperature cannot exceed 35 degrees, and the minimum temperature cannot be lower than 14 degrees. If the indoor temperature is lower than ten degrees, dynamics will appear. However, when growing purple bromeliad flowers in winter, you cannot put it under the heater, otherwise its leaves will dry up quickly.

3. Watering tips

There are certain skills in watering the purple pineapple flower during the cultivation period. You cannot water it in large quantities without limit. Usually, you should water it only when you see that the surface of the pot soil is slightly dry. You cannot let the pot soil be too wet, otherwise its roots will rot. In addition, in the hot summer weather, you should also spray water on its leaves and flowers in time, which can replenish water for it and increase the air humidity, which is very beneficial to the healthy growth of the purple pineapple flower.

Breeding precautions

When cultivating purple pineapple flowers, you must pay attention to the choice of soil. This plant likes loose and soft soil with good drainage. It is best to use peat, river sand and perlite to prepare potting soil. In addition, when cultivating purple pineapple flowers, you must also pay attention to timely fertilization, especially between April and September each year is the peak growth season for this plant. Fertilizer should be applied every two weeks. It is best to use fermented organic fertilizer. If the fertilizer is insufficient, it will slow down its growth and make its leaves smaller and yellower.
