Has anyone ever wondered how pineapples grow? they dont grow in trees they grow rite in the ground! i wish i could put pineapples in my garden but i think you need to have a tropical climate. Has anyone else thought about this before?

trees grow right from the ground, just like a pineapple plant. they just get taller. pineapple plants are actually pretty big tho.

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.

man, thats siick, lmao

thats the right idea. however when i grew them, i would remove all the fruit and a few sets of leaves from the bottom. the reason for removing the fruit completely is because it will eventually just rot off anyway and could cause problems later. then set the pineapple top in a cup of water for a few weeks untill youve got some roots developing. then plant it in some cactus-type potting mix.

its cool that pinapples are just clones upon clones with rare genetic changes over time.

Yeah... i dont think ive ever seen a pineapple seed... but idk.. i dont think its worth the work..u must have a certain type of soil bcuz pineapples grow differently in hawaii..

omfg runs down to the store and gets a pineapple

The easiest way to remove the top is to just twist it off, it will come right off. Peel about 1" of leaves off of the bottom and turn upside down for a week days until it dries and then try to root it in some water.

The plant on the right is my Pineapple.
