Makes me wish I was on a beach in Hawaii! -_-
I did this with my kids way back! Was great until the kitties knocked it over
Its not just the sweet stuff that you can regrow from….you can also grow regular onions just from cutting off the root end and planting! :-0 https://youtu.be/4t58WTIJVOU
I've tried this…mine got rot! So I have to cut deeper (there are root nodes?). Sorry, noobie here. I definitely, will try and try until I succeed!
Well guys….when I originally made this video, it was summer, it was in my greenhouse, conditions were optimal, and it worked beautifully. I tried to replicate this over the fall, and it was terrible…just didn't work. So after 30 trials of 100% success each time, I have a better method. THE method. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/S-IwumHkz88
How long till you get a pineapple? I did this one time and the plant was nice. Kept it for a long time but never did see a pineapple.
I cut the tops off with the 1/2 in. like you said. Plopped it down in the dirt outside, voila! Green plant! Never got to fruit, Iowa winter came.
So, after planting this does it grow a tree or just the fruit? I'd be really interested in a follow up on this
So after you plant the pineapple, what happens next. How do you know the pineapple is growing?
Thank you for these great knowledge!
I wish you would skids the end product. Would have liked to see how the onions or pineapple developed.
How long does it take for the pineapple to grow? Also is there any certain day of the year that pineapples can be planted like this?
See now ive watched videos that say you can plant the pineapple just by cutting the end off and you don't have to worry about taking the fruit off. I already planted 2 with the intention of of doing more. I guess ill try both ways now.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Ah, Nenas! Nothing apple about it. Lol!
I do things a bit differently: I just TWIST the top of the pineapple off and remove about 3-4 rows of the bottom leaves which will expose “tight” tiny roots wrapped around the base & if easy, will just “pick” a couple of the white roots to loosen them. I then use the water method of putting the base in water & have ALWAYS rooted them, as you can see the progress of the roots and wait until I see about an inch of several roots, then plant them. I just feel I can monitor the progress than hope nothing happens to the direct soil planted method – hey, whatever floats your boat! It DOES take about 2 years for the plant to produce its first baby pineapple. No baby will ever be a big as the grocery store ones, & you’ll know when they are ready to cut bc you will be able to smell the scent of pineapple, but don’t wait too long, bc then will rot and the scent will be HEAVY. Your “Mother” plant WILL grow offshoots (“pups”) and the problem is how to get them away from the mother plant. You will need to remove them or the pot will get too crowded & then it’ll be twice as hard to remove them from the mother. BUY LONG LEATHER GLOVES that go almost to your elbows – I got mine from Lowe’s, because you WILL scratch your arms BLOODY by trying to work with these plants or accidentally rub against one – the leaves are VERY sharp. (Note: sometimes I trim the lower leaves about halfway to shorten them as they reach out pretty far from the pot. Do NOT attempt to remove the pups from the top of the plant – you WILL end up bloodied. Instead, (wearing your gloves) turn the pot on it’s side to where the offshoot is facing you & if you have to dump the whole plant out, do so (as you can put the mother plant back in fairly easily). Usually I can pull the offshoot from its mother being sure to take some root with it, or if I have to, I do cut it away (again, taking some of the roots). Then just plant the newly released offshoot! How to MOVE a pot of a pineapple plant: WEAR THOSE GLOVES! With the leaves trimmed back, leaves back, I can get to the rim of the pot to pull it. If it is too big & yr face has to come close to the plant, take a big tarp & maneuver it under the pot (to the middle) and bring the corners up to the top of the plant & tie it, so you have SOME protection from those razor sharp leaves. Then drag, roll, lift, or use a hand truck or wheel barrow without much bloodshed. Each year I get at least 2 pups from the mother plant, so I have about 10 plants now after about 3 years! IF you can get the striped leaf kind (not sold in grocery stores), the pineapples are a beautiful shade of PINK!! Haven’t eaten mine, as I don’t know if you CAN eat them. I found my first 3 striped-leaf pineapples in a Fresh Market (a higher end grocery chain here in Florida) in the Flower Department being sold as 3 miniature pineapples on their long stems as decorative “flowers”. So I experimented taking the tops off, etc., and voila! I now have several pink ones! HAVE FUN!!
You don't need to leave any fruit on it, Just cut off the top and put in soil
Bb a
I can't get it to work. I have gone through 14 pineapple flowers with my
mom. We have tried buying the pineapples with the largest plant, the
one with the "healthiest, greenist" plant, one with the smallest plant,
ones from the most ripe pineapple, ones from the least ripe pineapple.
No matter what, they die. When we bring the pineapple home, we have
tried cutting the flower off at the base, or cutting it off with like a
quarter inch of the fruit as the base. We then have places them in
different depths of water. We have tried placing the plant in the water
in our sunroom with much light, our kitchen window with less light, and
our family room with the least light. My mom has tried just letting the
plant absorb the water, and I have tried to "cup the water" in the
leaves from the top. No matter how we cut, how the fruit looks, how the
plant looks, what kind of sun I give it, they die after 2 or 3 days. The
leaves start to turn brown, and over the course of a few days, wither
more and more until it is obvious that the plant is dead. We have tried
between maybe, 12 and 16 times over the last two months. Any
suggestions? My mother and I are dealing with depression and I really
want this to work for her, we moved half a year ago and since we moved,
all of her plants are dying one by one and I feel so bad because she had
great success at our last house. I don't know what is going on. Any
ways, does any one have an idea to help me out..?
I scrubbed the white residue from the leaves. Didn’t know if it was chemicals or what. Just to b on the safe side
The Ripe Tomato Farms hey thanks for the video i want to ask you , wich month the first process? thanks
It's been 3 years. Mine is just giving off leaves, not fruits yet !!!
i said shhhhh stop talking
Not trying to be a dick, but what good is it to get to this stage, and not discuss how often to water, how much sunlight it should or should not get, and any other growing instrux…? Come on man, follow through or we all just get dead pineapple plants.
I have my plant indoors. What is the amount of light it should get ? I have plant lights, can i use these for it?
