How To Grow GIANT Pineapples at Home Fast & Easy in Containers

[@kona702]

Here's a tip for people that don't know. I work for Starbucks and if you call us, we will save our grounds for your garden form you to pick up. We usually save them from our cold brew process. We get a ton of grounds from brewing our cold brew.

For anyone who doesn't know: take a whole pineapple with you to the beach or out on the boat. Towards the hottest part of the day, right when you come out of the water and still have that ocean taste in your mouth; cut up and eat that fresh pineapple. It will be one of the most delicious things you will ever eat. Learned this on my first dive.

[@funngram]

oo is that why..when I eaten pineapple at Beach I was like wowo ...what a fruit it is..today I knew why it was so so delicious..btw now I'm growing 5 at my home..

I live in zone 9b sw Florida and I grow beautiful pineapples just like you. I make a liquid aloe fertilizer that I feed my plants with and they absolutely love it. It helps to trigger the pineapple to fruit. I have 25+ pineapple plants growing around my garden. They truly are like nothing you will ever eat from the store. I grow mine in pots and I use cactus potting mix.

[@sylviaphillips1196]

did you start with this method(dry out) or started in water until roots started?

[@myragoulding635]

You should do a show showing us how to make that aloe fertilizer . I would love to see all your plants. I only have 5 and another one starting . And thanks to the Host for showing her tips in growing pineapples.

[@Scotty_pickleball]

Does it help the fruit grow quicker if you prune some of the leaves prior to the fruit coming out the top? I have 3 pineapples in pots here in Orlando area.

[@Pizza-gb1ch]

@sylviaphillips1196, I never dry them. I simply pop them in the dirt and wait 2 years. If u cut off a little of the skin it sits up better when u plant it.

It began to show the flower stalk in December of 2022. Harvested ripened pineapple in September 2023! 28 months from cut stalk to harvest! LOL! I gave the pineapple to my grandson! And I have a new baby plant that popped through November 2023!

[@Mr91495osh]

My great grandparents grew pines on Elliotts Key in the 1880’s. I grew up growing pines in Coconut Grove in the fifties. You can twist off the fruit from the plant and also the head from the fruit. I live in Gainesville now and grow them in cloth pots so I can move them out of seasonal torrential rain and seasonal freezes. I also add cut up banana peels, coffee grounds and egg shells for jacking up the soil. If you leave the fruit on the plant after it gets yellow and let it turn slightly bronze on the bottle, the sugar turns to alcohol. Yummy taste. You didn’t mention pulling the lower leaves off the heads to expose the baby roots and putting in water for a week. Also, the core has the most nutrition.I use them in my nutritional shakes. Great video, thank you.

Best and most informative video I’ve seen so far for growing pineapple. I have two crowns that have been in water for 1.5 years because I’ve not found very good or informative instructions for the soil. The crowns have a massive root system but I’m sure that will be short lived if I don’t get them planted soon. Thank you for the encouraging video! ~Rob

[@cocosurgerow]

I water root my pineapples and plant in a big pot by my south facing garage. I also plant them in raised mounded ground. It doesn’t matter so much the soil, as long as it drains. Fertilize with slow release, coffee grounds, egg shell. Keep on the sunny side.

[@WatchfulHunter]

Also in Fl. I planted one in my front yard just to see if it would grow. Yep! Then another and another. Now I have five all flowering. Should be ripe by late Summer. Very fun to watch them grow! I water every other day.

[@sylmarie6494]

Twisting the top of the pineapple is the preferred way to remove its top instead of cutting it off. Pineapples are one of the few fruits that do not continue to ripen (develop sweetness) after it is picked, so leaving it to completely turn yellow on the plant is ideal in terms of its sugar content.

[@johnstamos4629]

oh yeah mine get FULLY golden before its picked and ONE will make the whole house smell like pineapple!

[@src4409]

Yes, they do ripen after being cut from the plant. Leave them on your counter on its side. Turn it 1/4 turn every day for about 4 or 5 days. It will turn yellow on your counter. This is what I do every time I buy a store bought pineapple.

[@johnstamos4629]

then that is color, NOT flavor. and neither will fully develop. it's like that with all fruit.

[@antonioforestgardens697]

Lets not forget pineapples are the highest in enzymatic activity, digestively speaking, and those enzymes are best expressed in under ripe green fruit. If you're serious, wash an under ripe green pineapple, blend or juice with the skin on (zero waste), and serve over a block of ice, mixed fifty /fifty with freshly pressed wheatgrass juice. This will #1 knock your socks off and #2 cure melanoma and basocelluar cancers. I am living proof.

[@kalakalatu]

@@johnstamos4629, you're just wrong. I just cut up a pineapple after having it sitting in my window for almost two weeks. It went from barely ripe to practically overripe, and was as sweet a pineapple as I've ever had.

You and i use a lot of the same techniques.

They like that much better than when I used to bring them into the house (I could do that with 3 plants, but not with 10 or 11).
