It is distinguished by its unique appearance that immediately catches the eye – its inflorescence resembles a miniature pineapple, making it an original addition to any plant arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eGrowth Characteristics and Appearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe plant reaches \u003cstrong\u003e40–45 cm in height\u003c\/strong\u003e, forming a distinctive rosette of large, \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003elight green, slightly wavy leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e. The leaves can be up to \u003cstrong\u003e55 cm long\u003c\/strong\u003e and as wide as \u003cstrong\u003e13 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating an impressive base for the spectacular inflorescence.

It grows best in full sun but can also tolerate light shade. The key factor is suitable soil – it should be \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003elight, well-draining, sandy-loam, rich in humus\u003c\/strong\u003e, and consistently slightly moist. Avoid drying out, as lack of water leads to leaf wilting and weaker flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eFor container cultivation, it is advisable to use a mix of potting soil with gravel and ensure proper drainage at the bottom of the pot. Thanks to its \u003cstrong\u003ecompact form\u003c\/strong\u003e and tolerance to short periods of dryness, it works perfectly as a decoration for balconies and terraces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eOverwintering in Temperate Climates\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003ewarmer regions of Europe\u003c\/strong\u003e, eucomis can overwinter in the ground under careful cover. However, the safest option for \u003cstrong\u003ecooler areas\u003c\/strong\u003e is to dig up the bulbs in autumn and store them over winter in a dry, cool place at a temperature of \u003cstrong\u003e6–8°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, for example in baskets with peat. In spring, bulbs are planted so that their tips protrude above the soil surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe Pineapple Lily is \u003cstrong\u003erelatively easy to propagate\u003c\/strong\u003e. Most commonly, offsets are separated during autumn bulb lifting. It is also possible to propagate from seeds and leaf cuttings. For leaf propagation, a healthy leaf is cut into several sections and placed with the lower end in moist soil, then covered with perforated plastic. After \u003cstrong\u003e1–2 months\u003c\/strong\u003e, young bulbs appear. The first flowering of plants obtained this way usually occurs after \u003cstrong\u003e3–4 years\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eGarden Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eDue to its \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003estriking appearance\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEucomis autumnalis\u003c\/strong\u003e is suitable both for garden compositions and as a cut flower. In the ground, it performs well as a border plant, creating an interesting architectural accent. Although still relatively rare in European gardens, its modest requirements and unique form make it a worthy addition to any bulb plant collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":52461572456776,"sku":"1495","price":4.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":52461572489544,"sku":"1496","price":8.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":52461572522312,"sku":"1497","price":36.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":52461572555080,"sku":"1498","price":64.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/1629.jpg?v=1770321351","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-lilii-ananasowej-eucomis-autumnalis","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
