Have you ever wanted to try growing your own pineapple ? This took some time but it was not hard.
After your next pineapple purchase, Cut off the top and give yourself a good 1 and 1/2″ to 2 ” from the top down.
Use a sharp pruning knife to carve all the excess pineapple off. Get to the stem and root of the plant.
It is a dense mass. Just make sure there is no fruit left on the mass, this will cause fermentation and rot.
Cut about 3 layers of foliage off to give plenty of room for the roots to develop.
Then use a mason jar and fill it with clean water. Allow for the root mass only to submerge in the water.
To prevent rotting of the stem, consider the area just above the main mass, where the foliage was that you pulled away. Remember, you just want the root mass to be in water.
Look at all those roots! Strong, Clean and Off White in color.
Use a mixture of Rose soil and Sphagnum Moss. 75% Rose soil and 25%
I like to add a little Micro-Life fertilizer to the soil mix. It comes in a granular form, so it is slow release.
I encourage you to give this a try. It is a bit of a process but it is not a hard thing to do. Pineapples make great indoor plants near a window or outside. Let me know how it goes
