I bought a pineapple yesterday, and I've always heard about how making a pineapple grow is easy. I want to know if you've ever had success with making a pineapple plant grow! I've looked at a few different websites... Some recommend letting the plant take root in a glass before actually planting it, others let the plant dry for a week before planting it - what have you done that worked? Do you have any advice for me?

I'm headed to go to take pics of mine for you

Keep in mind my garden is not weeded and is a wreck.

I just set them in loose dirt. I don't bury them. I just press them in. I cut them off and do it same day. You have to have more than one to fertilze and get a pineapple. I know Summer's husband had one that got a pineapple.

I had one as a house plant many moons ago..... same technique as Lil... cut off the top 20% and pushed into a plant pot... That's it....

Well it sounds easy enough... How long ago did you plant those Lil? Will the plant get as big indoors? Is it a good idea to have one inside a tiny dorm room or will it get too big?

I'm not sure it gets deep roots you might be able to plant it in a terra cotta saucer. The two are about 1.5 years old and the single one is older.

I would love to see the links before I start asking stupid questions.

This and this are a couple I looked at, sodak.

What are you trying to do PS? Don't you know pineapples belong down in Florida? Especially those little red ones. They don't even export them up to us.

That's pretty cool!!!! Hmmm maybe in March I'll get a pinnapple and try that.

Don't worry, it's not getting planted outside!!!

Maybe we should see if there is a 'Chia Pineapple'. That would work for you.

Most pineapples have sharp leaves. If you want an indoor plant, choose a variety with soft smooth leaves.

We had ours in a 12" terra cotta pot but it didn't get as big as Lil's... so it was fine in the apartment

HI Neige

I have a plant for the past 6-8 months. The hardet part is getting it started, then it's quite easy to take care of. I had another several years ago, I kept transplanting it and it kept getting bigger. Finally it was too big and I got rid of it, I think I had it for at least 2 years. If you want to keep it small, just don't put it a pot that's too big. I started them all the same way. Cut the top with a couple inches of fruit, let it dry out 24 hrs, then plant it in humid soil. I tried 3 one died, the other two were great. I had heard to leave the fruit on the bottom and it worked for me, I never tried to root one in H2O. The best thing to do is find a nice pineapple with a healthy looking top. I might try to put it in my garden this summer... Feel free if you have any more questions, I'm a bit of a plant nut...
