越来越菠萝

我只是得到我的第一个菠萝 ,这是一个很小,但非常好吃。 我的问题是;另一菠萝最终将增长到同一工厂?

我很高兴你喜欢你的菠萝。 您将无法获得另一菠萝从同一母亲工厂,但你可以第二(宿根)水果时拍摄或吸盘留重视母亲植物。 其他芽应切断,并开始为新的工厂。

另一种选择是,开始新的工厂从菠萝您购买的杂货店。

以下是如何开始
挑选菠萝与健康, unbruised叶片。 减少尖顶部的菠萝,离开大叶和拉约四分之一的下部叶片揭露干。 您将看到小布朗颠簸,最终成为根(根原基) 。 让我们干的阴影区的数天,然后在6英寸的植物盆栽良好的土壤流失。 有些人刷生根激素的底部,以加快生根。

菠萝在水中生根
另一种方法是让根在水中 它可以2-4周的根部生长。 播种后保持湿润,但不湿,在阳光明媚,温暖( 75 )和潮湿的地方的夜间温度超过65摄氏度。 它应开始增长约2个月。 在干旱条件下,水雾,保持一点水中心冠。 饲料用一半的力量肥料每月两次在暑假期间。
它可以需要几年的工厂准备开花,结果。 该工厂应至少有25个正常大小的叶片,以足够大,以花。 如在18个MOS管。 您没有看到任何发生地点的工厂的一个塑料袋里有两个非常成熟的苹果减少了一半,这将释放乙烯气体这将触发其开花刺激。 在1-2个月内您应该会看到一个红色的尖芽其次是蓝色花的中心工厂。 此过程可能需要2-3年,但它值得一试刚才有一个新颖凤梨周围享受。 一旦你选择一个菠萝它不会成熟或甜蜜只有juicier 。
Pineapple2mo 。成熟的菠萝7mo 。后盛开

菠萝厂图为被迫盛开时,工厂是年轻( 18钼。 )生产规模较小的水果处于十分可口。 对于较大的水果,最好至少有40个成熟叶18英寸长。

  • 拉亚

    好吧,我只能菠萝今天,我想知道最好的方法是增加它在水或土壤 请快!

    它似乎工作无论采用哪种方式。 我有运气的方式和近来都使用水的方法。 当您将它,让花梗坐了几天,干旱和形成愈伤组织在种植前的土壤流失。 见第上述的指示。 有时候,我收到了菠萝有一些nubs或基层的基础,然后我开始在水中。 启动时在水中,剥离一些树叶,揭露nubbs并把削减菠萝顶部的玻璃瓶。 改变水每隔几天看的根源增长到水中。 当他们获得足够大,他们仔细植物在土壤中。

  • 约翰mccraney

    我已经被忽视施肥春季期间,这是我第一次做水大约每星期一次。 这是否会影响生产的水果?

    只要它是你成长的罚款。 它不应该影响到出菇的过程在这个时候。 施肥每隔两三个月。 如果是在室内使用1 / 2的力量,并增加在春季时,植物获得了更多的太阳。 更重要的是受精时,工厂正在积极成长,因为它可以利用的养分。 凤梨不需要大量的水,使水排出潮湿以及土壤,每星期一次。 如果在室内,您可以盖奇的浇水一次,每2周。 你不想太湿的植物,因为它会开始腐烂。

  • 新秀

    没有的菠萝需要受精? 这听起来像他们生产的水果本身,如果是这样,你知道这是为什么?

    菠萝水果来自非受精花称为结实授粉坐果或不施肥。 该果实无核,因此转载无性。

    已开始增长2凤梨在pots.One是确定的其他有6分支日益从it.I生活在澳大利亚

    如果核心(中心)的工厂被破坏,那么它会产生分支这将导致几个新的工厂,最终将需要分离repotted 。

  • 雷Forconi

    使用官方的方法菠萝传播(其中没有我在过去的) ,我终于成功地建立了2植物。 我知道植物需要很长时间才能承担它的果实,所以我不想做任何错误或期望的东西,可能不会发生。 我读过该工厂将需要外部它承担的果实,所以我的问题是,生活在北卡罗莱纳州的皮埃蒙特我想我需要挖掘的植物在冬季(同他们中的北榕树) ,它们才能开花结果仍然与这种类型的应力?

    您可以埋锅,然后挖它不会干扰或一些基层只是保持在一个集装箱户外要保证足够大熔炉。 似乎很多人有幸生长在一个集装箱内。

  • 威廉弗里赫

    凤梨植物生根
    香港专业教育学院已越来越菠萝植物两年来在俄亥俄州内的冬季。 如果水果本身doesn't今年夏天我将迫使它。 其巧射破门,寻找植物和我不同意出租的顶端后,取出菠萝干两天。 我已经开始了12家工厂,并运往全国各地到我的好友我删除顶端,并且将它立即用水 10天改变水每日然后放在花盆中的90 %源于此方法

    由于额外的信息。 我在尝试的过程中同样的方法,发现在水生根更容易和更快的春天,而不是下降。

  • - 南加州

    伟大的论坛。 这是回答我所有的问题。 我只是想建议肥料使用。 它被称为“魔术花” ,这是一个浓缩液( 9-18-9 ) ,你购买是不温不火的水。 余水官方和基层的。 它同样与鸡蛋和椰子树。 再次感谢。

    听起来很棒!

  • 朱厄尔

    我有一个工厂,菠萝有菠萝它。 在过去几天里已经变成红色。 为什么会这样?

    这是可能的,这是gettng更多的阳光照射和苹果一样的树,一方获得了更多的太阳是红,也可以是一个红色的品种。 您可能还具有观赏品种,生产一个红色的菠萝。 观赏植物的种植最有趣houseplants其中水果是1-2厘米,是不宜,但可作为切花或花艺设计。

  • 约翰

    什么是适当的水的时间表,通过土壤或棘

    如果在室内种植的植物,最好是直接适用于水的土壤。 户外活动,您可以喷水进入世界杯和底部的植物。 水每周一次在夏季,并在干方在冬季。 有没有神奇的公式多久你需要水,如果条件是炎热和干燥户外那么您可能需要更经常地用水。

  • 吉姆

    挑选水果

    我如何删除水果准备好时,不损害整个工厂?

    当果实开始变成黄色/橙色降低了菠萝干,这是对在该基地的菠萝。 柄终将枯竭和死亡回来。 它不会损害植物。

    迈克尔
    我开始生根树冠大约一年前,然后盆栽是在一个月后。 仲夏时节,但发芽的果实。 现在,水果仍然小于橙色,但已成为黄橙色。 我应该挑选水果 ?该厂不到二四英寸直径。

    如果它的气味,并期待时机成熟,我认为它是,那么你应该选择它。 年轻的植物会产生一个小的成果。 地雷是相同的大小,它是最可爱的我品尝过的菠萝。 享受!

    我有一个工厂的菠萝菠萝它。 我住在美国佛罗里达州。 如何知道现在是挑选菠萝 最后一个,我等待时间过长和松鼠击败我给它。

    您好卡罗尔
    为了达到最佳的口味,选择它启动时变黄,以金色,并说,芳香的菠萝香味。 一旦选择它不会成熟了。 也许你可以找到一种方法来保护菠萝的松鼠。 建立一个铁丝笼,核电站周围所以松鼠不会得到它。 一个办法是洒爽身粉或血粉对土壤作为剂。 这将必须重新申请后,雨水和我不知道如何有效地将。 有squirel剂市场上可能的工作。 还尝试光泽,反映对象来吓唬他们。

    朱莉( jdanam@yahoo.com / )
    我的小菠萝的时机已经成熟,准备吃饭。 我在哪里可以删除它从该植物? 我切断了它的股票增长? 其余的工厂是真正健康的...我没有看到任何新的枝条。 我离开工厂,但股票或股票? 我计划利用新的冠一个新工厂。 不坏的日益工厂里面,在西雅图地区。 我真的很惊讶我的果实...刚刚种植顶端的乐趣! 谢谢你的帮助。

    您好朱莉
    削减菠萝脱离中心“后” ,也就是它。 如果您不能看到它只是切断在该基地的菠萝,离开这个职位,这将最终死于回,也可以修剪它。 主要的植物可能仍发出新枝,如果没有,就下一个。 它很酷,是不是? 我捧腹菠萝时,我第一次开花。 享受!

  • 希拉里

    我想了解多一点信息越来越菠萝室内,我住在北爱达荷。 我需要了解什么是最好的中型盆栽,以把它放在最佳的结果。 我从来没有这样做之前,所以我有点失去了,我有一个小菠萝已经与它的大小与我的小手指指不包括顶端与它有2个小植物基地旁边的植物。 任何建议将是伟大的! 谢谢您。

    如果您有凤梨植物小水果,如盆栽植物是必然(基层走出底部) ,然后移植到盆栽1 “更大。 这将帮助它度过冬季,否则请勿打扰它。 留在现场,他们的家中(直接阳光)和水的干燥时。 不要overwater (可导致根腐病) ,保持干燥一侧。 每月一次施肥在生长季节的高峰期(夏季) 。 Repot较大时,下个赛季盆栽植物得到较大。

  • 玛丽

    我已经越来越凤梨约5年,是非常成功的。 我住在佛罗里达州中部,我厂在地面上,在冬天我肯定他们所涵盖,但在大多数情况下他们是直接的太阳。 水果比任何我买的商店,也许是等待或看着他们成长。 因此,所有您刚刚开始增长他们好运气和耐心,如果所有这些都不奏效,您可以开始一个新的帮助下,与其他种植者在本网站上。

    谢谢了令人鼓舞的评论!

  • 杰瑞德

    我只是买了一些奇怪的混合型的“绿色菠萝”沃尔玛从。 支付24元。 增加了Heines园艺。 说这是额外的甜蜜和所有。 这真是小。 有一点大于棒球和刚开始去实现从绿色黄色。
    任何人知道任何关于这一特定各种菠萝? 难道说,每个人都仍然适用至于propigation ?

    我不知道你有这种植物。 唯一的工厂,海尼斯园艺提到是'菠萝儿'红色骨气的菠萝。 这些都是作为观赏植物种植,他们提出一个有趣的口音植物。 他们将获得2英尺高, 2 1 / 2英尺宽。 水果是不宜食。 繁殖是一样经常菠萝。 如果它产生吸盘,可以种植时,大到足以单独从母亲植物。

  • 霍华德

    施肥凤梨植物

    你是什么肥料使用时,谈论的凤梨植物?

    菠萝通常并不需要大量的肥料。 施肥轻轻每月一次的高峰期种植季节(夏季)和每2-3个月在冬季。 您可以使用一般室内肥料如舒尔茨,奇迹增长,以公式10-10-10下列制造商的方向。 有一种意见认为,从2/15/06花卉魔术( 9-18-9 )的作品非常适合他。 在冬季,在阴凉时期,该工厂是16个月,降低氮(第一号) ,并增加磷(中号) ,以鼓励开花。

    我也只是我的第一选择2果实小,但很好,但在3年。 想知道是最好的肥料,因为我要生产更多更好的;他们需要磷.. thks的很好的意见我读过重新使用幼仔。

    的建议肥料随每一个来源。 他们并不需要大量的化肥,而是需要更高的氮,钾,铁,磷和钙较少。 一种可溶性肥料用于室内每3个月的建议时,该工厂是成熟和成长。 建议的国际空间大学延长施肥一次或两次上个月在春季和夏季时,积极发展和每月一次在秋季和冬季。 谨慎使用,在施肥的,可以烧伤的根源。 如需更详细的信息去agrss.sherman.hawaii教育/菠萝。

    住在印地安纳州中部。 买了工厂梅耶尔的。 该工厂约13厘米,有一个小水果。 发现后,把它以外的水果笼罩。 把支持。 一个星期后的结果是奠定了。 挑选水果和10:00生根水中。 整个中心腐烂。 树叶刚刚下降了。 发生了什么事? 从来没有从上面浇水。 将工厂建立了另一个工厂? 请给我一些意见,照顾这些植物。 谢谢。

    您的工厂进入休克从改变环境。 工厂已经在商店的光线较暗的情况下已作出了很多调整,当你把它外面灿烂的阳光,除了你不知道什么类型的服务(浇水)的工厂已在商店。 水果不会根的绿叶顶部水果可以扎根。 剪下的关闭,并将其放置在水中。 这有可能是工厂overwatered中心造成腐烂。 一个健康的母亲植物可以发送方竹笋(只)通常在该基地的工厂,如果是的话,当他们达到1 / 2大小的母亲植物可以repotted和成新的植株。 如果不是,买菠萝的杂货店。 寻找一个有很好的健康顶端。 剪下或拧断顶端,廉洁从任何肉体和一些树叶,在水中。 他们似乎在2-3周根在今年夏天,当时它在植物的土壤流失。

  • 马克莫西尔

    我是新手种植者在马萨诸塞州谁从来没有拥有过真正运气植物。 我有一个该死的布朗拇指,或许我只是因“好奇杀死猫”综合症。 我买了菠萝今天突然顶端到了一杯水。 搜索信息后,我发现这个网站,撕毁一些树叶去揭露干。 我仍然关注不过,作为我的经验告诉我,把可怜的东西了,最终痛苦我倾向于把它英寸任何建议新手谁只是希望紩事情才能生存下去? 谢谢!

    没有好奇心杀死一只猫,它只是使他更聪明。 我们从我们的错误。 您菠萝应扎根于水和,如果它不尝试另一种菠萝。 你有什么得松散? 有时它有时doesn't ,请务必变更水定期和保持顶端的直接阳光,而其生根。 太多轻布朗似乎更多的提示。 当产生的根源,并获得大约4英寸长,补种顶端良好的排水土壤成一个6英寸的锅或更大。 把它放在半遮荫和几周后充分太阳。 这需要一些时间和耐心,但你将高兴当你的工厂提出了鲜花并开始取得成果。 祝你好运,并保持联系。

    我已经12凤梨工厂,我已经开始外,在印地安纳州中部。 当下雨时,这水收集中心和叶片。 将这一事业的中心,植物腐烂? 下雨过后,将植物倒排出多余的水。 我知道是热带植物每天收到水,它是不可能的了水的流失。 第二个问题:种植一些植物的仙人掌组合,和一些经常盆栽土壤。 我水周? 如土壤干燥实际上是由于高温,水,我应该更频繁? 感谢您的答案。

    他们上瘾不是吗? 我只有7 。 空间,他们发现在冬天可能是一个挑战。 水收集的中心工厂和叶轴后便很快蒸发特别是如果工厂是在室外直接的太阳。 它应该是没有问题的,你不需要消耗他们。 如果土壤变得干热肯定高水更频繁,每周两次。 水土壤表面时,在冬季室内的植物和植物上保持干燥一侧。

    我有一个工厂,菠萝近3岁。 旧它没有任何水果尚未beared 。 底部叶子谈到褐色和黄色,犹如它是死亡。 我能做些什么让其他叶片转色。 该工厂内正在继续,因为时代。 变得更冷。 顶部的植物现在看起来健康。

    这可能是缺乏湿度,导致一些树叶,布朗和可能弱光环境下室内。 在冬季它们需要较少的水,但他们所需要的水分。 只要上方的植物看起来不错,应该确定。 您可以削减布朗结束。 我有一些植物和一些有褐变下部叶片和其他人没有。 同样的增长条件,所以要大胆的数字。 您是否尝试过苹果诱骗,迫使它开花? 冬季(短期天凉夜)是一个好时机,因为这是自然的时候,他们开始开花。

    您好乔
    这听起来不像是大力发展,因此,正在春天,我想repot该厂在较大的盆栽如果需要的话。 使用新鲜的土壤流失。 在这一点上,您还可以检查的根源,看看为什么它如此缓慢增长。 可能是土地贫瘠,或其rootbound 。 经过repotting把它放在一个庇护轻的一个星期左右,然后将其设置在室外阳光的夏天。 叶片秘诀将布朗与湿度低和干燥的空气特别是如果他们是冬季室内所有。 我将干提示关闭的绿色。

    Now, you’re growing them indoors then full sun is what they need.

  • Melanie Wohlford

    My fruit bearing pineapple plant received too much water. All of the leaves wilted and so far have not perked back up. What should I do?

    Hi Melanie
    Avoid any watering including rain to dry out the plant . There’s nothing you can do at this time. Repotting would only stress the plant, especially with a fruit on it. Let the pineapple will ripen and enjoy. Since it has accomplished its job by producing a fruit, the mother plant will die (unless there are new shoots on it).

  • Nina Bacigalupi

    How do I know whether I have an ornamental pineapple growing or one I can eat? I have two plants that both produced a pineapple- one the fruit has a very large crown relative to the size of the fruit. The other has a little larger fruit, that I need to pick. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a ornamental pineapple!

    Hi Nina
    Ornamental pineapple is just grown for decorative purposes. The small fruit is not tasty and some inedible but may be more attractive for design purposes. There are smaller pineapples, the size of a tennis ball that are sold at the grocery stores at a premium novelty price, which are edible and very sweet. One way, to grow them small is to force younger plants to bloom, thereby producing a smaller pineapple. Yours most likely, is edible. Pick the fruit that is ready and enjoy!

  • Traci

    I started a pineapple plant last August in water. I still haven’t put it into soil yet, it has many roots and looks to be healthy still. Will it affect the plant and its fruit(if it ever produces any) in a negative way by not having put it in soil yet?

    Hi Traci
    It would be better if you planted your pineapple in soil. It may not get all the nutrients it will require to produce a fruit. Trying to grow it hydroponically would require fertilizers that are specially formulated to satisfy the growing requirements of your pineapple plant. It’s much easier in soil.

  • Nancy Laminack

    Hi. I was given an ornamental pineapple plant a couple of years ago. It is growing great and I had one small pineapple growing on the plant UNTIL Hurricane Ike hit here in Texas. The small”pineapple” broke off. Can I plant it? Do I put the pineapple portion in soil and leave the top leaves sticking out of the soil? My whole plant is in soil. I really would like to start another one, just not sure how to do that. THANK YOU!!

    Hi Nancy
    Sorry to hear about your pineapple plant. Hopefully, everything else survive nasty Ike. Here’s what you can do. Take the small pineapple and cut off pineapple portion - so you end up with just the leafy part. Plant it in soil or root it in water the same way you would any other pineapple. I planted the top from my baby pineapple(after I ate it) and it is growing beautifully. I have never tried planting the whole tiny pineapple in soil but it would be interesting to see what would happen.

  • Ray

    I have a Bromeliad in a pot, which I bought over a year ago. It has grown a “sucker” which is now the same size as the mother plant. Should I leave it as is with the mother? Or should it be separated into another pot? What steps can I take for it to bloom like the orig? Any special instrns to grow these plants, would be helpful. Your site is a godsend for someone like I who knew nothing about plants, & turn to your site for info- great advice, very simple & concise instrns, have made me enjoy my houseplants!
    Thanks!

    Hi Ray
    The best time to separate the “pups” or offsets from the mother plant is in early spring or fall. Unless you have a greenhouse or live in a warmer climate, the bromeliad will recover and grow faster in early spring. Cut or pull off the pup getting as many roots (if any) as possible and repot in well-drained, porous soil or orchid mix. If you have the rosette cup type, keep the vase full and periodically replace with fresh water. Water your bromeliad to keep soil from drying out. Water less in the winter. Place it in filtered bright light once rooted move it to brighter light and outdoors in the summer. When you remove the pup, the mother plant may produce more pups so don’t discard the plant right away. It will bloom when its mature enough which depending on variety can be 2-3 years. When full size place it in a plastic bag with an apple for a few days-just like with a pineapple plant.

  • LAZARUS

    I live in Ghana and an a chartered accountant, I want to go into pineapple farming.

    I need advice on How to start. I need information on the soil type, the kind of fertilizer to use, the common pest that affect pineapple and how to combat it.

    Hi Lazarus
    Here’sa good site to get you started. http://tpss.hawaii.edu/pineapple/PineCult.pdf
    Good luck with your new venture.

  • Sue Bale

    I LIVE IN QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA AND AFTER A VISIT TO THE DOLE PLANTATION IN HAWAII A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I STARTED TO GROW PINEAPPLES. I HAVE ABOUT 10 AT VARIOUS STAGES OF GROWTH AND 1 WITH A FRUIT. I SEEMED TO HAVE MISSED THE FLOWER AS THE FRUIT JUST POPPED OUT OF THE CENTRE. I AM ENJOYING GROWING MY PINEAPPLES AND IT HAS BEEN AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE, I AM NOT A GOOD GARDNER AND MOST THINGS I PLANT USUALLY DIE. PINEAPPLE GROWING IS THE MOST SUCCESS I HAVE HAD.

    Hi Sue
    It seems that some pineapple flowers are very inconspicuous and just the pineapple shows up. I have had that same situation. The Dole plantation is great to visit. It’s interesting to see how many different varieties of pineapples there are.

  • Sue Bale

    I am just going out to try the rum on one of my pineapple plants , hope that it works.

    I haven’t tried it but good luck. Let us know if it works and how long it took for a bud to show. If you don’t see anything in 2 months, then try the apple trick.

  • Jordan

    my pineapple plants leaves are coming off as if not attached to the plant. any ideas on what might be the cause or what i should do?

    Hi Jordan
    There may be a problem of overwatering causing a root problem. Keep the plant on the dry side with cooler weather and shorter days. Provide as much light as you can. Hopefully, it will recover.

  • Richard

    great site. I have 3 pineapple plants growing, one is 2 years old and is bearing fruit, the other 2 are younger but they are all turning yellow what could be causing that. they are all outside and I live in north west Florida

    HI Richard
    The first thing I would check is the soil and roots of the plant. If they are overwatered or get too much rain, the roots will start to rot. If the soil doesn’t drain fast enough, water remains in the soil keeping the roots wet and eliminating oxygen that is needed for good growth. One of my pineapple plants started turning a yellowy green color. When I knocked it out of pot, I realized that the soil was too heavy and wet with little roots growing. Even though I didn’t water much whatever moisture it received (rain) didn’t drain out fast enough. I made the mistake of using potting soil with water retaining polymer in it. Bad idea! If you need to repot-use a light mix of 1/3 perlite, 1/3peat and cactus mix and mix some time-release fertilizer into soil. Add gravel or rock to the bottom of the pot for good drainage. I’m sure there are other recipes for soil mixes. It may also be lacking some nutrients. Wait till your plant starts to grow again before feeding it. Ironite will also help green up your plant.

    I love your web site. I am growing my 2nd pineapple plant . It is about 3 1/2 ft tall and about the same wide. It also has a pup about 1ft tall. The leaves started to turn yellow, after reading thru your site I have decided that the nights have been to cold and maybe that’s why the leaves are turning. I have brought it inside to a south window. As big as it is do you think it will bloom this year?

    HI Mary
    It sounds large enough to bloom and may initiate flowering on its own but sometimes pineapples need a “push” to get them to bloom. So if you don’t want to wait. Take 2 apples and put them in a plastic bag, large enough to hold your pineapple plant. Place the plant inside the bag and close it. Keep it in the bag for a week so the ethylene can have time to work on the plant. Keep it away from direct sun. If it worked you should see something in 1-2 months.

    I have a pineapple growing since about June and is growing good, but is still green, do I need to give it exta light ( a grow light). I live in Minnesota. The pineapple has tipped over, and I have staked it up. Your response would be appreciated.

    Hi Kim
    Give your pineapple plant as much light as you can; a bright window away from cold drafts will do. A grow light will help but is not necessary if you have a bright window. Adding support like staking is a good idea, it will keep the plant intact while the fruit gets larger. Wait till its starting to turn yellow before picking it.

  • Bob in Tallahasse FL

    I’m an amateur in Tallahassee FL area with 40+ plants of various ages, with some approaching 3 years old. I have had 2 fruits this year, one medium (less light) and one larger (more light). They became too dense and the retaining wall of the original bed needed replaced so I potted all but the two largest which bloomed. One of the potted plants turned yellow and when I went to inspect it, the leaves fell off. The soil was very moist and the other 35 were less moist. It only took one dead plant to realize that pots which have water cups on the bottom do not do well with pineapples. I have only lost one other pineapple, the youngest in a drought. I had to plant all of the potted plants, today, ahead of a freeze. I now have two locations, one Southern exposure and one Western. The Southern is the original bed and it is protected by a 6′ fence and shaded by a large pine until noon. I have tried different areas with newly potted, you plants but they do not do well until I take them to my original bed. We water the area only in extreme drought and otherwise leave the plants alone and covering on nights of frost with plastic drop cloths. I have done this on nights as low as 23 degree and though the leaves turn brown on exposed tips and yellowing occurs, when spring comes it as if winter never happened. These pineapple seem to be very tough and the more you leave them alone, the better they seem to do. I don t do anything to start them; I just plant them with one third of the top I cut off, buried in soil or pot. They all have lived, except one. This has been a real learning experience and your site has been very informative and helpful. My question would be, since our soil is a mix of sand, pipe clay and composted pine needles, might pineapples need a more acidic soil? Would you comment?

    Hi Bob
    Pineapple do prefer slightly acidic soil as opposed to alkaline soil. You’re right about the pots with water cups under them, I had that same problem and immediately changed containers. Now the plants are fine. Thanks for the information. I’m sure people from Fla will appreciate it.

    Growing Pineapple

    everyone keeps telling to water weekly. summers in hawaii are stronger. water how much weekly. my plant i think has been watered too much because it’s turned yellow but show some light green.
    so, water a cupful? what? how much water ?

    Hi Walter
    I cannot give you a quantitative answer because plants should not be watered on a schedule. When temperatures are hot and dry, you may need to water more often than when its cold and wet. Water when the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry or when the soil color turn lighter. You don’t mention if your pineapple plant is in a container or in the ground. Be sure your plant has good drainage. When watering , give the plant enough water so that it starts to drain out of the bottom of the container and then pour out the excess water. Do you fertilize your plant? The light green color may also be due to lack of nutrients.

    I started growing a pineapple plants about 2 years ago in a hanging basket pot. I got my first fruit this year, which was normal size and quite tasty. I have about 12 plants, all in large pots now, my questions is will it take the pups 2 to 3 years to produce fruit also. Last year I put about 4 tops in soil and they just reproduced a lot of pups this is how I got so many plants.

    Hi Janette
    Yes, it most likely will take 2-3 years for the pups to produce fruit. It depends on how quickly the plant grows. You can induce flowering when when your pineapple is a smaller plant but the fruit will also be smaller.

  • michelle kennedy

    My first pineapple plant i have gotten 8 pineapples, not bad for someone who kills artiffictial flowers. It is nothing for me to have 4 and 5 pups on a plant with a fruit. I have read to cut off pups and replant, but where do i cut, how far up or down close to the mother, do i cut straight or a an angle? any an all info whould be loved. Also they are in pots, never in the ground because where i live is rented and what goes in the ground stays.fruit really sweet, some large some small,{eat your heart out Dole} thanks again. oh 1 more thing, watered once a week ,sat on edge of carport and turned 1/4 every week to make sure os even sun. yes going to extreme.

    Hi Michelle
    I love to hear your enthusiastic success story!
    T o replant new pups you need to wait till they are 1/3-1/2 the size of the Mother plant or when they have developed a small rosette of leaves similar to the mother plant. Cut them at the base with a serrated knife or shears. The pup may or may not have any roots. Some sources suggest that the pup should not be removed until it has a root structure. Roots are better but don’t panic if there are none. Plant it in a pot of sandy well-drained soil, provide humidity and keep moist. Don’t overwater. Check for roots in about 2-3 wks.

    I wrote you back in November 0f 08′. This is January and I am just so excited. My Pineapple plant has a flower down in the cup. It isn’t very big yet but you can tell it’s the start of a flower. How long will it take before it will appear ?

    Hi Mary
    Congratulations!! I know how excited I was when my first pineapple flower started to show. It is a slow process so you will have plenty of time to enjoy the flower (around 2 mos.) and show it off to your friends. It usually takes 5-7 mos. from bloom to fruit ripening. Some flowers aren’t as spectacular as you might think, they are inconspicuous but nevertheless you will see a tiny pineapple emerging from the center.

  • Ashlee

    I have 4 pineapple plants. I live in Illinois and I have found it quite easy to grow them. I leave them out in the summer and bring them in and keep them under grow lights in the winter. My oldest plant is 6 years and has yet to produce a pineapple plant. I have tried the apple in a bag trick and it didn’t work I was going to try the calcium carbide trick next unless anyone has a better suggestion.

    To grow my plants I just cut off the top of the pineapple leaving a little bit of fruit attatched. Then I just lay the top on a paper plate and let them sit for a few to several days depending on when I get them planted in dirt.

  • Jeff

    I have 4 potted plants that froze about 1 1/2 months ago. All the leaves have turned yellow and the tips are brown and willting. I am considering planting them in the flower bed with the mother plant. It is currently looking very healthy and has 4 runners growing out of it. The 4 potted plants were also runners that I cut off this past summer. Should I trim the leaves off and try to transplant them or am I wasting my time? Thanks! BTW I live 30 miles north of Tampa, Florida.

    HI Jeff
    Check the center of the plant, if its discolored and turning brown, -you may be wasting your time.

  • LASHAWN

    A friend of mine who lives in flordia gave me a very sweet pineapple about 2 yrs ago.I planted the top, and to my surprise its doing very well. As a matter of fact its still growing new leaves although its winter time here (NY). I think its because my apartment is so warm. My problem is I have no where to plant outdoors. Can it still produce a pineapple indoors? Please help

    Hi Lashawn
    It’s possible to get a fruit provided the plant gets enough light(full sun) and nutrients. Mine produced a pineapple indoors but it spent the summer outdoors in full sun. If its large enough you might want to try inducing flowering with ripe apples or calcium carbide. Good luck and let us know what happened.

  • tamatha

    Hi, this is a great page. I found more information here than anywhere else yet. I was wondering if you could add pictures of what a shoot is. Also, on January 12th, 2009 at 3:37 pm with your answer to Jeff, were you talking about the middle of the leaves of the plant? If that is still green then does that mean there is hope for my plants? And is there anything I should do to help them?
    Thanks,Tamatha

    HI Tamatha
    I don’t have a pineapple plant that is producing a shoot(pup) but perhaps someone can post one for us. If the center is still green then there is hope for the plant. Place your plant outdoors during the summer and fertilize it in spring to get it growing.

  • coco

    I started planting pineapple from fruits bought at the grocery store a few years ago. I live in South Florida. I just cut off the top of a pineapple and put it in a big pot with organic soil. I leave the plant grow without doing anything to it besides watering once in a while. (I even forgot to protect my plants from the cold nights we’ve recently had). Two of them are showing sign of a flower.I have two planted directly in the garden. They are not growing as much as the three I have in pots.
    The fruits are smaller than the original fruits. However, they taste better.

  • Sue

    I have an ornamental pineapple that is ‘ripe’ - should I pick it or leave it?

    It’s up to you. If its a tiny pineapple it may not be tasty to eat. They are grown as a novelty.

  • Russ

    Hi
    Thanks for all the valuable information, great job!
    I have a pineapple grown from a cut top that is about 15 months old. I live in south Florida. I see a small pointy bulb emerging from the center of the plant. The plant itself is about 4′ across x 2′ tall (not including the pot). It is growing in a large pot on my patio. I see that you recommend creating a wire cage around it to protect the emerging pineapple from squirrels. I have lots of those critters in my area and would hate to see them become the benefactor of my labors, as they were with my tomatoes. (or some other critter, never caught the culprits) My question is how do I know how big to make the cage until the shoot is fully emerged? Can you give me an approximate size of this shoot so I can make the cage before the new fruit has emerged? When do I need to start worrying about the squirrels making a meal of my baby?
    Thanks much!
    Russ

    Hi Russ
    I would add at least 1-1 1/2 ft. above the top of the center of the plant, that should give you enough room for growth.

  • les mansell

    pineapple plants were not covered the first night of low 30 temps but covered since here in central florida.the leaves look damaged. do i watch and wait? what will indicate they are going to survive and what care should i do now.

    HI Les
    Wait and see. If the plant is chilled the upper leaves will develop red/white spotted scorched surface, yellow or brown leaf tips and slow plant growth. If the center of the plant starts to blacken the it won’t produce a fruit but may still send out shoots.
