How do you care for a pineapple plant?

The Pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) will reach about 5' to 6' when mature. It will develop a thick rough trunk and produce a single fruit at the ternimus. It will get top heavy so you may want to repot it

into something that will stand it upright. Give it as much sunlight as available, keep it warm (it's a tropical plant) and water it from above, pouring water over the leaves and into the cup formed where the leaves join. The fruit will mature in about six months from when it first appears.

I have a pineapple plant inside a large pot. It has grown about three feet or maybe a little taller. It is the second year I have it and it is putting out a bloom this year. In fact a side shoot on the mother plant is also putting out a bloom. Unfortunately, I let freezing weather damage about 1/3 of the leaves. I was ready to throw it out but I noticed the bloom, so I'll see what it does. It is about 18 months old. Next time I'll give it better winter protection. If your plant is putting out a pineapple fruit, it likely won't grow very much taller. There are different varieties, and you seem to have one of the smaller ones. Good luck.

the excellent thing approximately strengthen lighting fixtures over different lighting fixtures is they are designed to mimic the completed spectrum of photograph voltaic. flowers of course desire actual photograph voltaic. attempt to maintain the plant heat, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is going to strengthen in non tropical temperatures. I relatively have one becoming in Victoria and it survives with the aid of our wintry climate outdoors, in a black pot, interior a plastic bag cloche. protection from frost will save it alive, tropicalness will help it thrive. this means warmish, dryish winters, and heat to hotish humid to moist summers.

do the pineapple leaves need to be trimmed as they grow longer?
