How To Grow Your Own Pineapple
Today’s feature is a cool one from You Grow Girl with a tutorial on How To Grow Your Own Pineapple:
If you happen to have a pineapple on hand to eat, (and they are abundant and cheap during the late spring and summer months), then why not take a few minutes and grow your own pineapple plant from the discarded top?
It seems nearly mythological that anyone can grow a tropical fruit such as pineapple in his or her own home. But as long as you have a sunny window and a moderate indoor climate you can grow your own.
Combine your own homegrown pineapple plant with these instructions for How To Grow An Avocado Tree, and your home can be a tropical fruit forest, lol!
The pineapples will take quite awhile to produce fruit, but it would be neat to try and I think make an interesting houseplant too.

I did this this past spring and now I have a really large and healthy plant!
I grew my plant outdoors in my back yard in hollywood florida .I planted from a previous plant and it grew a nice piece of fruit in only eight months .waiting to pick it now
Hello Guys. I live in the Keys, and a friend of mine gave me three pineapple plants, from a construction site her fiance was working. I put mine in 3 separate, big bushel size plastic barrels, because that was all I had. She put hers in smaller planters, about a gallon size. When our pineapples formed, hers never got any bigger than a large pear. . . .mine got pretty close to full size, so the size of your planter container does count! Also the amount of water they get too. However, the size of the planter does NOT affect the taste or quality of the fruit of the pineapple! Sweet and delicious! Mine are on their second year now. One plant had a baby and it looks real healthy. The other two did not sprout any new sprouts. . .but still look healthy. I am awaiting the flowers soon. Note these plants went thru two hurricanes this year, and it seemed the extra rain only helped them grow into bigger and stronger plants! Now, I want to try my hand at some avacado trees and also!!!! banana trees. The banana tree is a real interesting and educational plant to watch mature into a banana bearer.
