I started it last year.

Google: Pineapple Plant Propagation (Excuse the alliteration :P) ... RHS has written all about it in various books.

If you get one from an organic food store with the leaves still on top (bottom...technically ;P) you should be able to propagate it, however a lot of places like to remove the leaves of spray the fruit with something to prevent rooting occurring.

Pineapples don't produce seed so don't try buy any lol!

Only one pineapple per plant tho ... It's a Bromeliad so it will produce "pups" at some point, generally after flowering.

I'm going to need to expand my grow room. Now I want to grow a pineapple plant too. I love to grow anything. When my kids were small I'd have them each grow an avacado tree every summer. They always liked watching the seed split and measuring the growth each day.

i have one that grows on our kitchen counter,for about half a year now,you just do what has already been said about the top,in water then into soil,when it has roots,it grows pretty slow but is doing good in ocen forest fox farms soil.

When you buy the pineapple, cut the fruit part into slices and grill it. Good stuff.

My one pineapple went pup crazy... I could probably give one away each day for the next two weeks and still have left....

I planted some of the bigger ones out into a drier place... will see how they do there... but two years' wait for a 50c fruit seems hardly worth it.... they are pretty though if you can get them big.

The easiest way to start one, is to slice the top off keeping minimal flesh.. let it dry for a day or two, and pick off remaining flesh, now jsut plonk the whole thing down on some moist topsoil... and wait 2 years.

[quote=sidngroovennude;1158270]pineapples dont grow on trees they grow in the ground if you get a fresh pineapple with the leaves still on top, cut the top off with about an inch of pineapple put it in a big pot with good soil just sit it on the surface dont bury it and in about 12 months you will have a pineapple.[/quote pineapples are not potatoes the grow on trees read a encyclopedia
