The choice of pineapple is important, choose a fruit with green leaves, not yet yellowish. To make sure it’s not overripe, gently pull on the leaves. If they come off easily, it indicates that it is too mature and cannot be replanted. Also make sure the fruit doesn’t contain pests or insects that could quickly ruin your crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2<\/strong>. Wash the fruit and let it dry. Then cut off the stem, keeping a little of the fruit (between 2.5 and 5 cm). Remove a few leaves to expose the stem. This will help grow the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3<\/strong>. Turn the stem upside down and let it dry for a week. This trick is essential to let the places where you have cut yourself “heal”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4<\/strong>. Fill a glass with <>\/<> water, the glass should be large enough to let the stem through, without it being completely submerged in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5<\/strong>. Insert a few toothpicks into the stem to keep their balance on the glass, they should rest on the rim of the glass with the leaves out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6<\/strong>. Place the glass in a sunny spot and wait for the roots to come out, which may take a few weeks. Be sure to change the water every 2 to 3 days. You will notice the appearance of some white roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. As soon as the roots begin to grow, plant its stem in a pot with potting soil mixed with organic compost (at least 30%). Be careful, the roots should be long enough to be planted. Press the soil around the base of the stem and don’t put too much soil over the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. It is advisable to keep the pot in a moist and warm place; the temperature should not be lower than 18\u00b0C. If the spot is too dry, mist the plant regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also Read:<\/strong> The maids’ trick for ironing sheets without using an iron<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. Water the soil once a week and apply natural fertilizer twice a month. It will take a few months before your pineapple grows too big for its pot. You’ll need to find a larger pot or plant it in your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. It can take years for the red flowers to appear, and then six months after flowering for the fruit to begin to develop, in the heart of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also read:<\/strong> Why should toothpaste be frozen?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know that it’s possible to grow pineapple at home?
