How did it taste?

[@takasmaka820]

Can you hold the old plant after the fruit?

[@TonysExploration]

@@takasmaka820 you can let it be and eventually the sucker will take over and become mother plant

Yes, thanks

[@neXib]

@@HeyItsKayJayBae Why? He took one crown, got one fruit, new crown and two suckers. This is simple multiplication from that point :D

[@KidsPlantsAndMyDog]

It takes 2 years, naturally. They induced flowering. So it produced in 1 year.

[@kokoslegend4850]

4:01 Don't dump it away, remove the suckers, and only let one side shoot grow (From between the leaves, not from the roots or flower stalk). It will use the already grown root system without needing to grow all the roots again. the plant will actually flower more than once this way without killing it and needing to regrow it from the start. The following pineapples are usually even larger.

[@waffle_chair9269]

Thankyou for commenting this, I thought it was strange that a plant would be done after so much going into the growth of one flower.

[@kokoslegend4850]

[@hillelhalevi]

What do you mean by "only let one side shoot grow (From between the leaves)"? Tks.

[@kokoslegend4850]

@@hillelhalevi I meant: don't let shoots grow from the roots (soil), don't let shoots grow from the flower stalk, but only let one shoot grow that emerges between the leaves of the mother plant. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I hope this helps!

[@katya0-_-]

​@@kokoslegend4850Our aim is to destroy the shoot that comes out of the soil before it grows, that is, without allowing the plant to take its energy. is it true? Maybe it won't last very long. because the plant can live for 2 years. sorry if i didn't explain.❤

To make this long video is you have a lot of patience and you did a great job on this one.

[@TonysExploration]

Thank you! Really appreciate yr encouragement

[@homebuddha]

That was so satisfying to watch your 2 part series. We grew pineapples from 2 crowns. It was so exciting when they both started to flower same time. Anybody would have thought from our celebrating we were having our first child! You never forget the memory of your first pineapple. Takes time and the reward is huge!

[@TonysExploration]

I can totally feel you! That is best part of gardening! I was so scare this pineapple end up in eaten by the mouse/squirrel. Glad that I make it

[@homebuddha]

@@TonysExploration the thought crossed my mind but I was super relieved and pleased to see you harvest and slice it. We never had the opportunity, the house was on the market and sold within 2 months, just as the cones turned to scales but we are certain those two pineapples contributed to the house sale! 🤣 I look forward to more of your videos. They are meditative and inspiring thanks again Tony.

[@jamessutter6700]

You nailed that fertilizer combo. I grow pineapple here in Florida and I don't use any fertilizer or anything like that but I do use a good soil compost and nutrient wash. They get big but NOTHING like THAT! WOW. Yea you nailed that plants schedule and fulfilled it's every desire. Lol.

[@TonysExploration]

Yeah the growing stage , normal compost or manure will do ...but fruiting stage, I use higher P n K to maximize the size.

[@jamessutter6700]

@@TonysExploration Ive got three fruiting at once this year. Early stage of fruiting right now. I'm definitely about to give that a try. Your pineapple looks more yellow and juicy than just about any I've ever seen. Very nice.

[@TonysExploration]

Glad that you stopped by channels. Thank you!

[@psychicmediumleoshelton5027]

Wow! I love parts 1 and 2. Your videos are the first I've seen that show ALL the way through growing a new pineapple fruit from the top! AMAZING! I placed a top in water on July 4th this year ( a few weeks ago ) and I now see about 6/7 new roots growing out from the bottom of the top. I'm excited! so I came to YT and started searching for how to grow a brand new pineapple fruit from the top. Thanks to YOU now I know! So, I understand Part 2 correctly - the brand new pineapple fruit grew from that pot, the original pot you planted the top in? that's cool because I thought I would have to plant mine in the ground, now I know it's not necessary. I learned so much! ( I will be returning to watch Part 2 several more times as a reference )Thank you. You have a new subscriber! ME!

[@TonysExploration]

Glad that you like my video, It took me over a year to make a single video.... The good thing about pineapple is that it can be planted on the pot, and almost not much pest problems...then bad part is , the waiting is very very long....some goes as long as two years before it fruit....so try to plant a few more ...While waiting, grow some other crops as well that have shorter harvest interval...happy gardening

[@TonysExploration]

thank you!

[@mikimosky4109]

If you can't get the crown of the pineapple to root, don't give up, many producers drill the crown to insert the label and by doing that they make it impossible for you to plant it, look for the right supermarket which sell non-drilled pineapples, eventually you'll find the one!

[@TonysExploration]

I didn't knew that ..hmm interesting

[@kokoslegend4850]

Yes, they also remove the heart of the crown as well, the place where the new leaves come from.

[@lemagreengreen]

If I lived in a warm country where this is possible I'd have these all over my garden. Why not? they don't take up much room and pineapple is delicious, just keep the cycle going constantly.

inducing will cause minimal leaf burn but no serious harm

[@alexpowers5187]

[@petedavidson6931]

So it is possible to grow pineapples in large pots on my large balcony here in Mexico ? Your video had really helped me lots as I’ve never attempted to do this, did ZERO research, took like 20 crowns from pineapples which I bought at the local village farmers market did the cup of water to sprouts phase to small pot and now 2 months later boom I’ve got green blades 2 feet across. See instead of tossing the crowns into the garbage I’ve started something beautiful.

[@TonysExploration]

Yeah, Mexico is good...make sure your balcony has plenty of full-blast sunlight. Damm! 20 pots...that must be fun!... The problem I have is space! I wish I have more space for gardening!

[@noctyria1003]

The two videos on pineapple growing really taught me a lot! I was especially surprised to learn that a pineapple bush/tree (?) only produces fruit once. So I wonder, what happens to the rest after the fruit is removed? Is it used as fertilizer? Thrown away?

[@TonysExploration]

Some wait for a while to harvest the suckers ....else end up in compost site and turn to fertilizer

[@aymaneajana5506]

Sir, what a nice video! Howoever, dont dump the plant since there can grow a new shoot from the flowering base

[@fabiocicu]

I'm trying it out from an island in the south of Italy, dont know if anything will come out of this experiment as we do have quite a cool winter.

[@TonysExploration]

Is worth to try out...I think you need to be kept indoor during winter

[@alvinnguyen4949]

Do you think it will happen again???

[@kalamsalim9944]

What happened to the pineapple from seed

[@TonysExploration]

End up in compost bin! Haha... I continue for a while and finally give up..the growth is way way too slow, I wasnt sure that is the nature growth rate or stunted growth, because that is mine first time experiment on seeds.

[@sam4malaysia]

Hi tony. I have one more question. When pouring water on a calcium carbide, should i pour a little untill the gas produced ? Or keep pouring untill the calcium carbide disolved ?

[@TonysExploration]

Calcium carbide will burn the tip , the plant may get burn mark if the water too little. So you pour like a glass of water to produce the gas. If you are in Malaysia, you have better option, go shoppe or lazada and get the ANAA pill or pill nanas.

[@sam4malaysia]

@@TonysExploration i am at wangsa maju. Hehehehe

[@Valk69]

After removing a pineapple, if the plant has no suckers is the plant done for? It will never grow another right?

[@TonysExploration]

Continue to care for it, the sucker will eventually come

[@rustbuckett1]

ive done exactly what it shows on this video three times now and i cant seem to get the crown to produce roots in the water thus failing each time what am i doing wrong? does it need to be at a certain temperature? how much and what kind of light is needed? im at a loss

[@TonysExploration]

under shade will be fine. Just a bit patient, as long as the crown does not rot. Temperature here is around 24-26 Celsius.

[@earthcareextracts6633]

I’m interested in getting some really good pineapple genetics! Any advice

[@TonysExploration]

just grow from crown. That is the 100% genetic you get!

[@lexxlovelyness]

What area of the world are you growing??

[@TonysExploration]

Malaysia

[@BenjaminMellor]

What happens if you leave the mother plant alive as a houseplant. Also, why does the pineapple not refruit?

[@TonysExploration]

The suckers will eventually overtake the mother plant and bear fruits again. The same crown will not bear fruit but the suckers will.

[@MagixVFX]

Well that a huge pineapple that can be grown at home

[@chisomovuegbe4248]

What is the size of the pot if I may ask

[@TonysExploration]

15" inch diameter and 11" height

[@coachmarjean]

Incredible I currently have 2 growing but I see I must put them in a much bigger pot. I am in Florida, is it too hot to put them outside? in the 90's a lot of rain this year, I currently have them indoors in a window. Would love your recomendation.

[@TonysExploration]

No worries on too hot...90s just fine. Full blast of sunshine ☀️☀️ is what pineapple needed . Normally I let be rain or sunshine outdoor. Unless the rain is continuous for the whole week...else it should be just fine.

[@daniellanzotti2391]

How much time did you water and treat with fertilizer throughout the year?

[@TonysExploration]

There are months which are very hot and draught, so I water once a day. Else is once every 2-3 days .

[@scratchmadehomestead9343]

How often did you fertilize?

[@TonysExploration]

In general ,once every fortnight,but when come to fertilizer, is best to follow the label...each fertilizer have different NPK composition and strength

[@m.l4596]

What if you don’t throw away the crown that just flowered？ I understand it won’t flower again but Can you leave it in the pot and would it keep alive and green? It’s perennial right? Good work!

[@TonysExploration]

The sucker will eventually outgrown and begin the whole cycle again...that is when you have the ratoon harvest.

[@SUPERIDOLProductions]

only one pinnAPLE per plant?

Check if the leaves is well established..then is good to go. When you used calcium carbide, put in a cup with water and pour into center of the stem after the fizzing stop... If directly put into the stem like my video, it may burn the leaves...370 days...is worth to try....you may need to repeat again in 14 days to induce flowering

You don't have to follow exactly the fertilizer. ..when in a growing up stage , any equal ratio NPK fertilizer will do, or any organic fertilizer. once it reaches maturity with 40 leaves , then only switch to low N, higher P and K fertilizer.
