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!

This is the way.

Started a few dozen pineapple seeds, I know they take several years to fruit but I figured why not so here we are

After 3 years and losing the first one to a takuache i finally picked my first ripe pineapple

Hi All! After about 18 months my pineapple plant flowered and this fruit has been developing for 3.5 months. I am wondering if the color of the skin is as expected at this stage? It appears very dark, brown/purple between the segments.

When I look online, I see mostly elite gold, white jade, Florida special, and sugar loaf. Etsy will have some that are just called "red" pineapples or "Florida special red." I've checked the first few places that pop up on a Google search for "pineapple plants for sale" but I'm having trouble finding things like "Spanish red "

Anyone have any advice?

Hello friends! For absolute newcomers, I'm hoping this will be a little informative. I've heard folks say they don't grow pineapples because they only make one new plant a year. Well that's not really accurate.

I used to ignore the hard stems below the pineapple when i harvested but as you can see this can provide an additional plant, along with suckers/pups further down the plant. Also a vigorous plant may have two or three crowns, which all can become new plants.

For the advanced pineapplist, you can even halve the crowns by cutting/saw from bottom to top (or even quartering them this way). Each one has potential as a new plant.

This year I'll be trying to extract seeds and sprout those as well. Not the fastest method, but a fun endeavor regardless. Happy pineappling everybody

Decided it was time to harvest this one. I have a tendency to leave them too long, so went against my instincts and plucked it. Hoping it’ll taste as good as it looks. Bottom smells nice and sweet.
Her sister is a day or two behind her. If this one isn’t super sweet, I’ll let the other one ride a bit longer.

Ate a pineapple today and thought what a waste to throw out all of the skin, was wondering if you can make anything with it - edible or not.

My fertilizer routine:

• 1 cup composted chicken manure every 2 months
• When it flowered, I kept on applying 2 tbsp potash as foliar spray every week
• I also started applying 3 tbsp calcium acetate and 1/4 tsp epsom salt as foliar spray every 2 weeks

As you can see, the crown is larger than the fruit even if I don't add any nitrogen fertilizer. Maybe this is caused by the composted chicken manure?

I also read somewhere that the size of the pineapple foliage before it flowers will determine the size of the fruit. Is that really true?

So where do I go from here? Any tips on how to increase the size of the fruit?

It might be a little small, but it is delicious

As the title says
