First time planting a pineapple top and have a few questions…

I started 6 pineapple tops in water and have transferred them to soil in pots now that they have grown roots. The transfer was 2 weeks ago The roots were all 4-6” long and 8-12 roots on each plant. I think there may have been one plant that had 2” roots.

The questions I have are;

  1. Should I be adding any kind of food?
  2. How can I tell when the plants have successfully rooted?
  3. I live in the southeast. I read that I need to place a plastic bag around the plant for “5-6 weeks until it roots”. Is this true? They all see, to be more sturdy than the day they were planted.
  4. They are out of direct sunlight, but can receive rain. It has rained so much since planting, I have not watered since that day. Every time I touch the soil, it is damp. Is that enough water?
  5. When I planted the,, there were some leaves that were brown, and still are. Is that an issue?

I appreciate any advice, and am open to any suggestions I haven’t asked about.

New to this, sorta

I’ve had this going for a while now and it started the pineapple in June when I moved it outside. It’s a little bigger than a softball. How soon should I harvest?

What do I have here?

A couple years ago a happened upon three pineapple plants. Tossed them in the ground in a spot in my hillside orchard and haven’t touched them since. Two of them are fruiting, one with two fruits, and one isn’t fruiting at all. The plant not fruiting looks the healthiest to me but no fruit. Can anybody tell me what kind of pineapples they are, and when to harvest?

Why do pineapples start flowering from the bottom?

Does the bottom ripen faster as a result?

Final (number 6) for the year. No more new ones on the horizon, but 2027 should be great, with 14 viable plants ready for flowering.

Growing a new plant from the stem

First time trying to get the stem below the fruit to sprout after harvesting. Looks like it's budding and should develop into a new plant. Probably about 6 inches of stem is underground. Anyone else have any luck with this?

Is she ready?

I’m back! And one of my pineapple fell off of its stock/stem so i was wondering if that meant it was ready. She smells really good but the color does concern me as I was waiting for it to yellow a bit more. If she isn’t, how long would be best to wait??

Pineapple finally growing from a store bought cut top.

We have had this pineapple plant for 5-6 years. It came from a store bought pineapple cut top that my sister planted. We thought it would never grow a pineapple & just be a cool plant, but last year it started getting really a lot bigger. This year, it finally happened! A small pineapple started to form, now it’s taking off. This growth so far is astonishing! It seems to almost double in size by the day!!!!!

Pictures 7 & 8 are less than 24 hours apart 😳 Do pineapple’s usually grow super fast once they start to form??? We are so excited lol 😂 🍍

Why is my pineapple so yellow? :(

Hey all, I am in a BS1(h')w climate and have my pineapple with 8 hours of sunlight. It wasn’t like this (as you can see below). Is it too much sun? A nutrient deficiency? Thanks in advance
