I just got these 2 from my work(they were being thrown away and figured I keep them) and I was just wondering what I need to do in terms of taking care of them and potting. They arrived around June and haven’t changed much aside from color. I have no prior experience with tropical plants or fruit.

Hi all! I’ve tried rooting/growing several crowns and each one has been a failure. So I have I pineapple I just bought. I twist off the crown and then… Thanks in advance! I am determined to succeed 😅

Can someone tell me the specifics of that they did with the apple to induce flowering? Mine are outside. Should I put slices in the rosette? Just leave apple(s) at the base?

I tried this with 3 last year. This is the only one that took.

One of my pineapple plants rotted at its core from the abundance of rain were having (central florida). Is there any way to get this to grow again or maybe grow shoots/pups? It has a great root system. Thanks

In the heart of Madhupur, Tangail, the monsoon season heralds the bustling pineapple harvest. Farmers from the region cycle from their orchards, transporting heaps of juicy pineapples to the Garo and Jalchatra wholesale markets. This upazila, responsible for around 80% of Bangladesh’s pineapple supply, cultivates diverse varieties across 6,840 hectares. The cycle of cultivation, harvest, and sale not only strengthens the local economy but also connects the hardworking farmers of Madhupur to the broader nation. Each pineapple sold is a testament to the region’s fertility and the resilience of its farmers, linking the lush lands of Madhupur to tables across Bangladesh.

Pineapples have to be a melon. (No conflicting opinions please)

Honestly, one of the most underrated desserts in bbq is straight up grilled pineapple with a sugar blend. Sweet, slightly sour but not too much. Exactly what you need to cut through the fat from the meat!

I was wondering if somebody here has experimenting with exposing a pineapple for 24/7 light cicles? Does it affect positevily to growth? If somebody tried it share it please

I'm fairly new at growing pineapples but I plan to continue. I've had some luck so far but I feel it was somewhat blind luck and was wondering what everyone did for soil to repot established plants into and what fertilizers and frequency? I would prefer natural or organic fertilizer if possible. I live in South Ms and we have naturally acidic soil.

There have been many questions on this sub about when to twist a new shoot off of a maturing pineapple plant. My general rule of thumb is when the new growth is a minimum of 12 inches (.33 meters).

The shoot in the photo came from the base of the plant and grew its own roots. The white spot in the center of the roots is where it was connected to the mature plant’s root ball.

I did not have to root it in water. I simply planted it in well-draining soil. In a few days I will add some fertilizer.

Hope this helps folks get more out of their plants. Would love to hear how other growers manage their shoots, pups and slips.

Please help 😭 Got this cutie two weeks ago from a nursery. I was traveling for two days and this was definitely not there when I left. I live in Southern Florida and the pineapple lives outside.

I just bought a pineapple plant from Walmart. I’m about to repot it in the Miracle gro tropical potting soil and everything online says I need to fertilize it every now and then and I wasn’t sure what a good brand would be. I was assuming the tropical plant food from miracle gro but I’m not sure and I don’t want to kill it with the fertilizer.
