Easiest thing in the world to grow .Started 2 of them last summer ,they are now 4 foot tall and about 4 foot wide .I brought it in last winter and it has really grown over the winter .I have always been told you have to keep the cup wet .I have started many and I usually give them away . Easy to grow I am going to put it in the ground when it warms up .I have never fertilzed them and I don't use special soil .Just basic potting soil .
My first two soil attempts failed,I set the top in a bowl of water and actually it started to grow beautifully,I left it in the bowl for several months,out on my screened in lanai in just plain water,it's huge!!!!I planted it into a container and I'm ready for it to fruit.:) Great Videos!
Hey Brad! Was looking through some of your older videos. Just a tip if you haven’t already figured it out.....take a pair of nail clippers to the tips of those leaves! Rounds them off without being noticeable. Thanks for all the great info!!
If the stem is rising above the pot the plant will become wobbly again as the plant grows and the weight of the leaves becomes too heavy. The best way I've found to repot them is keep the lower leaves and rest them on the top edge of the pot, even burying some of the lower leaves if necessary. That gives them the needed support.
I keep mine in the house during the winter and in the summer I leave it outside I also reported my plant in a larger pot and know I have a baby plant growing next to it.
Helloh Brad, I am so glad I found you.. I am an avid gardener in Palm Springs, California... now that I live here, moved from Chicago.. I found it exciting living in the desert... more opportunities to garden with different plants and vegetables...thank you..
Hey Bruh, love you passion man. Wow, you crafted what looks to be a very well draining soil, great job. I was wondering if your pineapple plant would be happier in a much larger pot. Not sure of the right size, I would try a 12 liter container. Thanks for the great videos.
Try starting your top in water, I have 12 pineapples growing in various stages. *My largest one has already given me a delicious pineapple & now that one is on its way to giving pineapples too. Once the root system takes in water, transplant to a small pot. Peat moss/perlite&sandPut it on a tray of rocks with water (their native environment humid). Once they've outgrown their pot, repot in a larger pot & watch it EXPLODE in growth. 5 gallon buckets are a good option & cheap. *Make sure you get all of the fruit off of the top before putting it in water, don't be afraid to cut some of the base off & peel off a few layers of leaves. If you have some rooting hormone, fill the water to just where the tip is submerged, and I mean barely covering it but definitely submerged. dip that top into the hormone then place in: a red solo cup, a water bottle cut in half or a glass jar...then keep it in bright but indirect sunlight. Change that water every 2-3 days! Best of luck!
I have been growing my pineapple 🍍 for 33 months. Still no sign of a pineapple. Any ideas?? Do I need to continue to be patient. It’s in a 5 gallon pot and I live in Charleston South Carolina. I bring it in during cold spells and set it during warm spells during the winter. Any ideas?
Biggest trick for starting grocery pineapples is having a good look at the growth stem inside the leafs for mold/rot, most i’ve looked through have stem rot right from the store from the tag piercing through the stem
Hey Brad, just found your videos and as an avid Orchid grower, thank you so much for your info! I just repotted a very sickly Phalaenopsis, and after watching your video, was glad to see I did it correctly. Mine was mired in one of those plastic pots inserted into a non draining vessel. Watching it carefully and hoping for the best. I used bark mixed with peat moss, bone meal, and compost with gypsum. I've never tried Pineapple but will after watching this video!! :) :)
I have at least 3 or 4 pineapple plants on my lanai at any given time; the water method is great. You can use a water bottle with the top cut off and toothpicks or even a peanut butter jar. Use some rooting hormone and change the water with non tap water (rain water is ideal). The other method that has worked great for when I take the suckers off is to peel off a few leaves from the bottom (give yourself a “flat surface” and put in ALL PERLITE. No soil, composite, etc. A sterile environment while those tiny little roots are forming. Also, I always cut any fruit away from the bottom of the pineapple top (make sense?) before dipping a into rooting hormone if on hand and use the water method or perlite method. When choosing a pineapple at the store, choose one that has the most gold so you’ll have a healthy mature pineapple to eat then grow. Keep track of what works best for you & what doesn’t. Good luck
Do I water 💧 this plant like a regular bromeliad in the center of the cup and not in the soil? I am finding some dyeing leaves at the bottom of leaves.
I live in Salt Lake City and I've been growing a pineapple from a pineapple i bought from the store 2 yrs ago...and this summer i shifted in a pot from the container of water i use for rooting...so my question is...how should i takecare of the puneappke when i take it indoor? I need some advice because soon its gonna be winter snowing and i dont want to mess up my pineapple coz its my first time planting a pineapple...thanks. by the way i love your videos.thanks for all the tips. GB.
You can put some foam squares on the tip of those sharp leaves to protect yourself as a reminder and you can be as creative with those squares if you like ;). It works well with the succulent family-like agaves etc) - if the plant is distressed especially when you just planted it in the soil for the first time if you rooted it in water which is the best option and just like succulents will transform into different coloring, some transform into pinky-red some more orangy but it is spectacular. I live in the Southern hemisphere and planted mine into the soil in December when it is really hot and dry (I live in a semi dessert in RSA) and the coloring took my breath away it was almost like having your own fireworks in the garden to admire.
I have mine in a big pot had it for 2 1/2 year no pineapple but a baby plant is growing next to the mother plant. I live in Quebec and during fall I bring it inside for the winter. And it’s in a warm place.
@@dianepicard6198 As I'm new to pineapple growing as well, this is advice that has been given to me. For the slices, probably wait until early May (northern hemisphere) I have been told to then enclose the plant in a plastic bag to keep the apple decaying "vapor" within the plant, but think that maybe a bit drastic for where I live in Western Australia, as our summers can be in the mid 40c and it probably wouldn't take long for the plant to stress. I have 4 plants in pots that are growing very quickly, (now end of summer going into autumn) These were potted 6 months ago and are now in 250mm pots...10inch? and I have 4 more in glass jars taking root so give it another week and they will be ready to pot. Just remember your pineapple will only fruit once then slowly die off but, will develop "babies" at the base so maintain the "mother"plant until the smaller ones are ready to transplant. Let me know how you get on, you might be able to give me some tips.
Gordon Leslie thank you for the advise I do have a baby growing next to the mother plant and have 2 more plant growing in their own pot. I will let you know how my plants are doing. I will wait for May to come to transplant the baby.
I repotted my pineapple plant just today the pot was too small and hoping for alot more growth :) I even messed with the root so they will expand more now they're in a tote they was in about 1 gallon container the roots seemed restricted for sure can you put fruit and veggetable fertilizer with them I have some miracle grow granules for fruits and vegetables
Donald Smith, I live in Florida as well, up in horse country. What part of the state are you located? We do get some cooler weather so I am putting a hoop house over my pineapples in the next two weeks. Would like some feedback from you on your methods and whether yours get any cold weather. ~Nancy
If it is grown from the one he got from the store it takes about three years to grow the fruit. Yes it needs a much bigger pot and then it may grow a fruit. If it comes from a slip is grows in 18 months.
Donald Smith he won't see a fruit for 10 years at the rate he is potting that plant. "squish the roots" ... what?! 😂😂😂😂 he didn't even loosen the roots in his last vid. still interesting to watch... 😀
Hi. My little pineapple fell off of my plant. Can it be planted to grow another plant? It's about 8 inches from bottom of the fruit to the top of the leaves?
I did this a while ago but my pineapple had the top drilled so i waited for it to produce a pup then re-potted that. It's going to take a while to get to the size of yours but i know what you mean by the size issues.
I might have missed it but did you ever get this one to fruit? Do you still have it? Maybe if you do you can do another update. I have always wanted to try this challenge.
What are you doing to the roots!!? If you're going to re-pot the roots, use super thrive, and transplant into a bigger pot. You just shocked the plant. I had to do this once because I had grubs in my soil (a con of growing in mulch outdoor). Noticed one of my plants wasn't growing right while feeding it the same as all the other plants with the same grow medium. Those grubs love eating pineapple roots. The bigger the pot, the bigger the plant, the bigger the fruit.
You should put it in water until roots grow, need a bigger pot beacuse the fruit can be heavy....trim the pineapple leafs and watered in the center of the plant, after over a year use calcium carbide in the center to get the fruit sooner, the plant need full sun and loves the hot weather, i live in Florida and I already tasted my pineapples
Pineapple is very easy to grow put the pineapple top in a 5 gal bucket with avg soil and leave it alone water 2 times a week fert about every 3 months and just leave it alone and let it grow
It love's sun and hates too much water. If you have hot summers it will grow large until the fall. I leave mines outside during that time and bring it inside before the temperature drops below 50s.
Omg yours is only 2 years old? Mine is less than a year & its bigger than that!! Get a bigger pot!!! Lol I'm trying to transfer mine to something GIGANTIC til I can move to a place I'm not renting!! Lol mine is MASSIVE!!! & it it very sharp & gives me papercuts everytime I move it to something bigger! Lol but yeah.... I swear mine will be as big as my Christmas tree before it grows ANYTHING!! 🙄
I know what you mean! I started mine in a 1 gallon pot around August and it's getting huge. I've read that they should go into 5 gallon pots, not sure what the point of transplanting a plant that big into the same size pot is.
If you twist the top off of the pineapple and put it in a jar with water it will root easily and will not rot. I tried this on 9 tops and I have 9 plants as large as the one in this video. And yes, your pot is much too small!
Lol y I'm I watching you then if you never replanted a pineapple before that's what I want to know tips and best way to do it I don't want to learn your mistakes or experiments
Holy crap that new pot is way too small.....it seems like he’ll take forever to fruit for you...they are only doing deep roots because your pot is deep & not wide....poor plant. I understand that you don’t have the space but...☹️
Do I water 💧 this plant like a regular bromeliad in the center of the cup and not in the soil? I am finding some dyeing leaves at the bottom of leaves.
Mine finally produced a fruit after 3 years and ate it yesterday it was so good

Hi, did you sterilize the potting mix before repotting? If yes, which way you sterilized it?
Do I water 💧 this plant like a regular bromeliad in the center of the cup and not in the soil? I am finding some dyeing leaves at the bottom of leaves.
Brad, what are you using for fertilizer and supplements?
Thanks

I live in Quebec and during fall I bring it inside for the winter. And it’s in a warm place.
Just before summer, put a couple of slices of apple in the crown.
The gas from the apple encourages it to flower.
Gordon Leslie it’s April so should I put the slice Apple now or wait for the month of May and thank you for the advice.ove the video’s

U can cut that baby off and grow it to, u don’t need to have to plants growing, it will stop the big one from producing

I have a plant that produces small pineapples . It was given to me. Can you eat the small ones too?
Need to be in a 5gallon pot. That pot is too small!
No they don't .
Actually the opposite pinneaples like smaller pots
that is rut bound. Put in much better pot. It should have made a pineapple after 2 years. I live in Florida and get about 40 every summer.

i´ve heard,when u put carbide water in crown it starts blooming...
(bubbling flammamble gas tru water , from wet Calcium carbide)
This was super helpful! Thank you!
do you have a status update on this? I am preparing to replant my pineapple, paul.
Rebecca Hunter your pineapple plant is named Paul?
Seems like a bit of a challenge, Brad, when all l have to do is throw the tip in the ground. Good luck with the pineapple and thanks for sharing.
SHARON SHORT yeah , the challenges of tropical plants in temperate climates
I feel it should have been repotted Into a bigger pot
Me to. I agree.
Can you prune the plant since it's so big??
I have three pineapple plants growing in the Kitchen window.
You should put it in water until roots grow, need a bigger pot beacuse the fruit can be heavy....trim the pineapple leafs and watered in the center of the plant, after over a year use calcium carbide in the center to get the fruit sooner, the plant need full sun and loves the hot weather, i live in Florida and I already tasted my pineapples
Dear Sir how much degrees in the greenhouse?
Azaming video....thanks for this awesome video
Use soil designed for Cactus, stays dryer.
I've never had one for ever! I currently have 5 fruiting!
Pineapple is very easy to grow put the pineapple top in a 5 gal bucket with avg soil and leave it alone water 2 times a week fert about every 3 months and just leave it alone and let it grow
Usually takes only 2 years to get fruit. I've had much success getting pineapple tops from store bought pineapples to root.
Constance Lovejoy cool, where do you live? we have challenges of growing tropical plants in our temperate climates
Had a problem my plant grows lots of sharp needles kind of on the leaves
Yea mine too
I have had my pineapple 🍍 for about 8 months now and it is still only 9 inches tall, it is well rooted but does not seem to want to grow.
Any ideas
More sun?
It love's sun and hates too much water. If you have hot summers it will grow large until the fall. I leave mines outside during that time and bring it inside before the temperature drops below 50s.
Looks good... Nice and solid.
John Benedict ORCHIDS thanks, it is soild and sharp!
bigger pot might have worked better
Yes keep trying, I have a beauty after 4 tries.
Dear Bread, it seems the plant is still wobbling in the pot.....
Why did he put it in the same pot 😳 needs a bigger pot for sure
PLEASE USE A BIGGER POT
I try this 4 times it's not worked for me each time the pineapple rots
Omg yours is only 2 years old? Mine is less than a year & its bigger than that!! Get a bigger pot!!! Lol I'm trying to transfer mine to something GIGANTIC til I can move to a place I'm not renting!!

You put PINEAPLLE instead of PINEAPPLE in the title. Great video though!
Haha 2000 views and tour the first to notice. Thank you!
Next time shower the roots to unravel the root bounding
Is it just me or does he sound like Kermit the frog? No offense man it’s a compliment
Lol y I'm I watching you then if you never replanted a pineapple before that's what I want to know tips and best way to do it I don't want to learn your mistakes or experiments
Nice accent
Holy crap that new pot is way too small.....it seems like he’ll take forever to fruit for you...they are only doing deep roots because your pot is deep & not wide....poor plant. I understand that you don’t have the space but...☹️
he is very wide but not as tall as yours.
You get fruit from these, seriously? I might give it a whirl.
SinderellaAtTheBall fun and cheap project!
Do I water 💧 this plant like a regular bromeliad in the center of the cup and not in the soil? I am finding some dyeing leaves at the bottom of leaves.
