Pineapple is a famous tropical fruit with high cultivation benefits. Currently, it is widely planted in the southern tropical regions of China. Planting pineapple can generally use the method of seedling transplantation. So, how should pineapple seedlings be planted? Let's find out together.
How to Plant Pineapple Seedlings?
-
Seedling Selection: Choose vigorous seedlings with excellent overall characteristics.
-
Site Selection: Pineapples do not have strict soil requirements, preferring slightly acidic or slightly alkaline soil with deep layers and good drainage. They can be planted on mountainous terrain, flat land, or fertile soil to promote early fruiting. Generally, cultivation below 600 meters above sea level on low hills or flat land is optimal.
-
Planting Time: Pineapple seedlings can be planted throughout the year, but planting in spring (March-April) and autumn (September-November) is preferable.
-
Preparation Before Planting: Dig planting holes with lengths, widths, and depths of 0.8-1.0 meters, and separate the soil. Backfill the hole with soil 1-2 months before planting, adding a mixture of weeds, branches, lime, and basal fertilizer.
-
Planting Method: Remove the seedling bag, place the seedling upright in the prepared planting hole, straighten the seedling, backfill the soil until it is level with the stem of the rootstock, and then press firmly with both hands to complete the planting. Build a tree ring with a diameter of 80 centimeters around the root circle, cover it with grass, thoroughly water it to stabilize the roots, and then cover it with a layer of fine soil.
-
Planting Density: A spacing of 6 meters between plants and rows is suitable. Avoid planting too densely to prevent growth inhibition. Generally, sparser planting is suitable for flat land, while denser planting is suitable for sloping land.
-
Post-Planting Management: Implement fertilization, watering, pruning, thinning flowers and fruits, and prevention and control of diseases and pests.
In summary, the cultivation of pineapples is increasing, and there is plenty of cultivation experience to draw from. Therefore, friends who are unfamiliar with planting techniques may consider learning from local experienced farmers, as it is relatively easy to learn and master.
