This. Your new pineapple will be available in 3-5 years.

^^^^ what BS you talking, pineapple bear in 12 to 18 mnths for first plant and another 10-12 mtnhs for second bear after that its useless.

That's what I thought.

[- Rovin's car audio -]

imo doesnt make sense for average joe to plant cause it takes nearly 2yrs & u getting pine so cheap in d market ...

[SMc]

We eat plenty(ish) pineapple home, so I just stick the tops in the bit of soil along the driveway and let them grow, dont have to to much and they are nice looking plants either way...but yeas they do take along time to bear fruit.

And pineapple is the right kinda plant for dry weather.

[zaria]

Don't bother with the top of the pine.takes forever to bear.
Find someone who has and take a plant or two.bigger the better.it will bear faster
I planted and in 3 months it had fruit.but it was a really big plant.

buy a pineapple

but plant the whole thing, maybe it might bear faster

[hong kong phooey]

the top grows nd you will get pineapple but is takes ages
The pineapple plant is located on the bottom of the pineapple there is normally a few plants in each pineapple , but they normally break those off before they reach to the market
.
I am trying to get some also

Like yuh want to pick pineapples?

When u replant the crown wait for it to spring the main and about 5-7 laterals (don't reap the fruit). Twist off the laterals and plant. These tend to be more viable than the crown from the reaped fruit.

Agreed...
But my method is to leave those little shoots and let the main plant nourish it until it leans over
It's better.grows much faster this way.

Till the shoots grow into mini pineapples?

[zaria]

Well I usually just leave when I remove the pine.the shoots keep growing from the the stalk
Until the stalks fall over and the shoots form roots.
If I'm going to transplant I'll allow to get to 12-18".
Really easy to transplant as the roots are really shallow.

good info

[MG Man]

Planted maybe 6 weeks ago

[screwbash]

Ahh nice. Good stuff. Another tip for pineapple crown growers.
Shave the lowest layer of leaves off and place bottom of crown in water for about two weeks before transplanting. This accelerates root development

any advice on ornamental pineapple plants?
Someone gave me one, and it's struggling...the oldest leaves have withered away....it's in a spot that gets good sunlight, and I give it a bit of water every few days.....the newest leaves are taking forever to grow, so I don't know if it just naturally grows very slowly...

if its planted like those in ur pic then its probably being strangled by weeds. each plant should have a reasonable circumference of clearance for healthy growth.

Mg, what kind of soil? First time hearing about ornamental pineapples but Google saying this

Worse case, dig it up and jumpstart the roots like in my post above then replant as directed
