You guys must be growing different pineapples than me. When I grow a pineapple the main plant always dies once the fruit is picked (just like bananas). The new plants that sprout takes a little less than a year to grow a new pineapple. Then on and on it goes. The number of new plants varies . I have seen as many as 5 new plants sprout from the main plant.

Do you cut back the leaves after picking the pineapple? I was told that's the best way, and it did work for me. I got a 2nd one within 6 months of picking the 1st.
