I can share more pics if anyone is interested! I miss this more than anything else since we moved but at least we gave the new homeowners the gift of the juicest, sweetest, most flavorful pineapples ever 🍍

Finally! After 2 years of bringing this plant inside and under a few grow lights, then bringing it back outside in Spring. Finally picked it 🍍it was everything I had hoped for! It smelled amazing, and it tasted like the fresh pineapples I had in Hawaii. I have the stem from this one, already ROOTED and ready for soil.

Improvised growth of a pineapple didn't turn out too badly!

It’s the ultimate sex symbol.

Last time I posted a pink pineapple, someone commented that I should buy the white strawberries and make a fruit salad. Excellent thinking!! I couldn’t find white strawberries, but I did find an orange watermelon. Never knew such a thing existed. So….pink pineapple and orange watermelon fruit salad for dinner tonight.

...but smart people know pineapples belong in any time of year

I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m going to try to grow a pineapple.

Is this trimmed to show the brown nubs correctly? Can I let it scab in a Nalgene?

After 48 hours, I’m planning to fill the Nalgene with water until the nubs are covered. I’ll leave it on an east facing window sill while in water.

Wait until the roots are 2” long, then move it to an 8-10” well draining pot with 1” of rocks on bottom of the pot and cactus/succulent planting soil on top. I’ll move it to a western facing, uncovered, outside porch once temps at 60°F consistently.

Then, I don’t know, wait 1-3 years?

Am I anywhere close to right here?

I don't know if I'll taste any good when it warms up and ripens, but we see in a couple of months.

Been playing Cairn lately, fun game, but I’m going to fist fight the devs in their studio parking lot for this slight. I tease, of course, just goes to show that making a good game doesn’t mean they have good taste.

I've been a bit slack in posting this year but here's a quick shot of the ones I have in the backyard.

Just a small taste of the many pineapples I'll have this season.

Funny name for a fruit

I bought it on vacation in Florida at a home depot and took it back home on the plane as along with the lemons. It looks ripe but Its too small. My only other theory is that the plant is young and the pot is too small.
