The fruit looks kinda rotten from the bottom. What should I do ? How did that even happen ? i have the plant since winter and I watered it every 2 weeks in winter and now in summer like every 5 days. I put the plant out in summer too and left it overnight a for a few days maybe It was too cold or too hot outside idk.

As long.as you will have me …

Tonight I noticed my plant (Finally blooming after 5 years!) has a few pups growing in the crown of the developing pineapple. (See Pics) Should I leave these, or remove them? I've had them at the base of, or in between the leaves of the plant before blooming, just not sure what to do about these. I live in Tennessee, and it freezes here. So I don't want these to slow the growth of the fruit, if they would.

Any advice is appreciated!
