Growing Pineapples


Starting a new pineapple is easy. Begin with a pineapple you buy at the super market, when it is ready to cut and eat, don’t cut off the top. Twist it off and set it aside for 3 days. On the third day peel off the bottom leaves until you can see the root stubs. At this point place the top into a clear jar of water, topping off the water each day until you see a strong growth of roots. At this time fill a pot with potting soil and a little fertilizer (soil with fertilizer in it is best). You have now started your first pineapple. Keep it in full sun and well watered. It will take about a year or so to flower. The flower is your pineapple, give it times to mature.
