r/pineapple

Ok, so we harvested this beautiful lil Pina over the summer. I can remember someone saying that a parent (mother pineapple 🍍) will only produce 1 Pineapple 🍍 for life. Ok, I knew this already and I was NOT going to say one and done with this plant. No way! She’s way to healthy and still alive and showing signs of NEW GROWTH! I’m so glad I waited and stayed patient, because she’s having a BABY well, whatever it’s a cabby Pup/rations out of the soil line. I’ll be bringing her back inside for winter ❄️ under grow lights. OH and the top off the pineapple in the picture, already rooted and potted up. ⬆️ I’ll keep you all posted on progress.

Update to my original post on three pineapples plants I am growing in my sunroom in Washington. They are now approximately 4-ft tall and 6-ft wide each, growing strong.

Not sure when they will fruit. The one on the right is a Maui gold and is over 2 years old. The others are younger and they have started sending out pups. I have tried forcing them all to fruit with a slice of apple in the crown of each, but no luck after multiple attempts.

I got about 8 slices out of it and promptly replanted the top.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what’s happening with my pineapple. I went away for vacation and came back to my pineapple looking like this. It was on its normal watering schedule while I was gone so I’m not sure what happened. Thank you.

In May 2024 I planted the crown from the grocery store pineapple, and this summer I’m the proud parent of Spike. I assume he’s as big as he’s going to get, and he’s developing a pretty prominent crown, but I’m going to be visiting family (driving there) for a month. I’m pretty sure he’s still underripe, but can I harvest Spike now or would it be better to bring the plant and let him ripen on the plant? My hosts have room to house him. idek if he’ll be edible but at this point I want to eat him and plant his crown and have a grand pineapple. Pics are in reverse order

Hello Pineapple reddit!! This is my first time trying to grow pineapple from the stalk. I brought this gal inside about a month ago, as I live in Michigan and it gets pretty cold here early into the year. She was doing fine for a while but she doesn't seem to like it inside which I can't do anything about!! I've repotted her about a week ago and haven't watered her once, just to make sure she didn't have any other issues with transplanting. She used to be usually always wet when outside, as it rains where I am often. Should I keep the soil more wet because of that? I do not have a watering schedule and typically only water my plants when they show signs of being thirsty. Is this yellowing a sign of underwatering?? I don't want to kill my baby before she can even fruit for me!! :[

I decided to try my luck at growing the top off a store bought pineapple. I live in Central Florida and it seems to love the weather. Plenty of fast growth.

The smaller one is a sugar loaf pineapple ive ordered online. Had it for about a month. Still a baby.
