Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂 #garden #gardening #pineapple

Yum Yum, thanks Mark !
I bought two already established plants last year for $30. I couldn't find any with tops on at the grocery. Not only did they give two fruit this year but they also sprouted 11 pups and suckers. It was a very nice surprise.
Edit: the guy I bought it from told me to go straight home with it. Don't stop anywhere or it would get stolen from the back of the truck.
Although you wait two years for the first fruit, the established plant will fruit once every year after that.
I've got 2 pineapple plants on the go like this right now ones 2 years old and the other is 1.5 I was challenged to a strange duel of sorts by my father in-law his died so he had to start over now he's got a little one that's 2 headed going
I also tried growing them from seed.
Loved it, part of bromilliad family, so yep they pup, too easy.
They cut the tops off so that they can grow more, obviously.
Have two growing right now but worried about the winter coming on, will bring them in
Thanks Mark! So the store bought pineapple doesn’t need to be organic? I haven’t seen them cutting tops off at my market. Hope I don’t.
Here's a comment to help out the channel!
When we shut down for the first major covid lockdown back in March 2020, the kitchen I worked in had to get rid of all of their stock. I took a pineapple and figured I'd try growing it, just like this.
It's now November 2021 and my pineapple has flowered, and looks to be fully pollinated as well! I have also counted two pups!
More recently I've moved onto a new kitchen, and we've got pineapple on the menu, so I take home tops every 3 or 4 days, and they're all rooting all over the yard. Gonna have my own Pineapple plantation pretty soon here!
Pineapples are bromeliads and bromeliads aren't succulents.
I have a pineapple top I planted 2 or 3 years ago. Plant has grown large, but no pineapple. Do they need another pineapple plant around to grow a fruit or is mine just a dud?
This is fun, I will be trying this soon
Great video! I have three indoor pineapples (cold climate), oldest about 18 months old. I had resigned myself that it was unlikely I’d ever get anything more than leaves from them – any advice re: maximizing my small chance at getting a fruit??
Parents South Florida zone 11 biggest pineapple I ever get is a size of a softball. Waiting about 16 to 18 months to get it that's as big as they get. ☹️
Loved this! I'm soo excited to give this a go, if i can find a pineapple with a top on in store! haha
I eat them lots. So I must try this out.
You can actually split the tops in 4 parts and each one will root and give a new plant
this is so cool don't know if it'll grow as i live in england and i can't keep it inside but seems like it's worth a try wish me luck.
To the viewer (living in a "colder climate") who asked you, "don't pineapples grow better in a warm climate?" My answer is "Yes, absolutely. But Ice grows better in your colder climate." lol
In the US you can grow them in the south. I have friends with pineapples in their landscape in Florida. In New York though, we are indoors only, or maybe June, July and August, but be prepared to bring it inside in September through the end of May. They don't look like they'll take a light frost. I've always wanted to do this, thanks for the push!!
I've got about a dozen pineapple plants up on my property in the sunny coast and I've learnt recently that by stripping the lower leaves away from the stock you actually expose some already started root tips… They also prefer to have the fruit stripped away from the stock and to dry out a tiny little bit, and Then you drop that into soil and they take much quicker.
2 pineapple-selling supermarkets disliked this.
I grew a pine apple
4.50 for a pineapple the last time I bought one it was 99 cents
Coles only sells pineapples with their tops on in the two weeks before Halloween. Got my one for this year!
Stagger your plantings and then you get rotating harvests (pineapples year round) I started with 5 store pineapples 4 years ago…between pups and restarts I'm well over 100 plants…WEAR safety glasses…did I mention WEAR SAFETY GLASSES! Great video, fantastic job as usual!!
