Pineapple Care

2.1 Watering: Pineapple plants require consistent moisture, but they don’t tolerate waterlogged conditions. Water the plant once or twice a week, depending on the climate and soil conditions.

2.2 Sunlight: Pineapples love sunlight and thrive in full sunlight exposure. Ensure your plant receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

2.3 Fertilization: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to feed your pineapple plant every two to three months. Avoid over-fertilization, as it can lead to excessive leaf growth and delay fruiting.

2.4 Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the pineapple plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

2.5 Pest and Disease Management: Keep a close eye on your plant for signs of pests or diseases. Common issues include mealybugs, scale insects, and root rot. Use organic insecticides and fungicides when necessary.

2.6 Temperature: Pineapples are tropical plants and prefer temperatures between 65°F to 95°F (18°C to 35°C). They can tolerate brief temperature drops but are sensitive to frost.
