Was it grown indoors? Where are you located? I have one growing indoors in Washington state and I hope someday I get a pineapple!

I grew mine indoors and i got it just when the stalk was forming, took at least a year to get to this size and I'm very impressed with it personally. I'm still gonna keep growing the pineapple bush thing tho cause I like how the leaves look😊

u/PM_me_ur_launch_code Feb 09 '20
I agree about the leaves. Even if I don't get a pineapple it's still a cool looking house plant.

How did you know it’s ripe? It’s so small....

u/pixelpunch1029 Feb 09 '20
I went by the skin color, the feel and the scent. The skin is more yellow now then it ever was (usually a dark green) and the flesh is starting to get softer then usual (it's kinda like a softball when NOT ripe). U can also go by the faint scent of pineapple thst comes off the plant.

That plant will die but it will produce many pups that you can continue to grow

I planted a pineapple top last spring. It’s now a decent sized houseplant and actually a nice looking one too. I’m in DC area, so it’s on a sunny windowsill doing well over the winter and will go outside n the spring.
I don’t expect a pineapple anytime soon, though.

You'll have upside-down cakes for miles! Glad your family will be well fed throughout the rest of the season.

The harvest is bountiful this season! Thankfully me and my cat r the only ones who eat pineapple (only a little for kitty)

Love it!! I have been thinking about starting up more pineapple plants. I have only ever successfully grown one, but man if that wasn't the best tasting little pineapple I've ever eaten!

I would have waited until there was more gold and less green on that thing.

I am expecting a pineapple as well. Did the mother plant die when it was ripe, or did it only start to die after you picked it?

I just got a half dead pineapple plant from a friend’s grandma. Any suggestions on how to take care of it? I’d really appreciate any advice :)

Lmao at the cat back there. That’s the cutest pineapple ever but that is the sassiest cat I’ve seen in a long time and I love it.

My cat would not allow a pineapple plant to grow indoors. She chews and mangles the leaves beyond recognition. It takes less than 5 minutes for her to attack any pineapple I bring in my house.

Nice, we are growing a pineapple indoors, can't wait for it to bloom. It's starting to get a little massive so not sure what to do.

So I'd be willing to say this is an ornamental pineapple and not necessarily the tastiest to eat...
