The moment i saw pineapple, this video must be dedicated for your sister 😆, in your last video you mention your sister obsessed with pineapple 😆. I love my sister as well so to see someone care about them it remind me of her and thats make me happy 😀.

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank you. She lives in Japan and I miss her terribly. Hope you and loved ones are safe and well-connected.

[@jovanessavf164]

I don't remember if I commented on this video when you posted it 2 yrs ago, but anyway... One of my nannies when I was little showed me how to propagate pineapples. She cut off the top, about an inch below the base of the leaves on top, and then bury that top part of the fruit with all the leaves above ground. The fruit part feeds the cutting in the first 2-3 weeks of growth. ❤

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa thats cool! I did not know that. So fascinating 🥹

[@jovanessavf164]

@onlyplants Ain't it, though? Hehe And yesterday at the wet market I saw a pineapple with 6 heads of leaves. I was like, wut the heck??? So I bought it just so I can dissect and see what I can do with it. Lol

[@beyoutube76]

Thanks for your vlogs! (I know this one is 3 years old)I got four variegated starters for me and my three daughters. Didn't realize the time it takes and size they are. Today out of a whim I bought a pineapple at the grocery store ( Colorado, USA) and plan in putting the cutting in water for my 5yr old granddaughter to watch grow. I enjoyed your Japan growers videos.

[@onlyplants]

Whoaa thats cool, its nice to get their curiosity when they are still young! 😀

Hi Shawn, I’ve noticed you use laboratory glassware in many of your propagation. I love how they look. Along with your excellent science explanation, I wonder if you work in a lab? Thank you for the tutorial on pineapple propagation. Would you consider showing us sweet potato and citrus and other fruit germination tutorials? I must be doing something wrong as everything starts well but then my seedling decline? Great content as always

[@onlyplants]

Hello, I am a soap maker and make a lot of natural skincare using oils. However I got the sciency propagation vessels online and cheap. I love the way they look and they cost way less than what a vase would. 😆 I am terrible at seed starting! But I will learn at some point and share!

[@remypabila1862]

[@jasmineangelina]

super informative!! i always wondered how pineapples were grown... i usually buy the precut ones from the supermarket, but buying the actual fruit looks so funnn and propagating it!! ill definitely try to get a pineapple soon and follow ur care tips! thank you :D

[@onlyplants]

Hello thank you for writing in. There are so many ways to propagate pineapples... they even throw out babies when they mature. But commercially I think they may be grown from seed. 😇

[@samihanova8657]

These are soooo cute👌👌

I know right. Very underrated plants!

[@Ali-enAdventures]

Ooo how fun! I'm going to try this out, thank you!

Good luck and have fun!

[@ALAPINO]

My only gripe with pineapples as houseplants is their need for high light and the fact when they are healthy they are razor sharp. Not a problem for my cacti, because I know and see them as hazards. The pineapple just looks like half of my other plants and I always forget, and get cut. I guess I'm just a silly goose. Damn, I guess I'm in for more as "snitches get stitches." :P

[@onlyplants]

Yesss omg they can really hurt kids or pets

Haha you should try to grow one m! 👻

[@Rose-mu3vq]

In the Philippines, some don't cut the leaves. Just twist then pull. The other way is your style by cutting it. Do you allow the cuttings to callous before you put it in water? What about rooting hormone? Thank you

[@onlyplants]

I put it into water right away without rooting hormone. I can imagine it being faster with rooting hormone though

[@sainellore6874]

Lovely, lovely video! You're very knowledgeable and you also know how to disseminate your information very effectively. This is what I needed this morning! I have a very sweet pineapple sitting on my dining table and I am going to plant the head as per your video. But I think I will use a mix of cocopeat and regular soil (50-50 mix) in a small container for the next 2-3 months before transplanting it in my garden. Hyderabad climate may not be conducive for pineapple; but no harm in trying, right?

[@onlyplants]

I have a feeling they will do well there. They like it bright and hot 😀

[@sainellore6874]

@@onlyplants oh, great! My mouth is already watering at the prospect of growing pineapples at home!

We call pineapple’s ananás, and the sugary one is abacaxi (I guess is also easier to grow cause is cheap, and the ananas is quite expansive, they grow them in the middle of the Atlantic, in Azores, which is amazing.

Cool, we call them nanas here!

Hey! Do I need to change the water while the pineapple is propagating? And do I need to let the crown dry before putting in water?

[@onlyplants]

Change the water only when it becomes really gross... maybe 2-3 weeks

[@onlyplants]

Hope you have some good luck with it! If you live in dry arid environment be sure to mist it often as it will appreciate it!

[@nicholashogg3398]

Thank you!! I just potted my first pineapple plant after the water stage. If I’m keeping it indoors in a well lit room, how often should I water it and with how much water? Thank you!!

[@onlyplants]

At first you should keep the soil on the moist side as the roots need to adapt slowly to drier soil conditions... ive never grown them indoors before but mine gets very inconsistent watering outdoors and they do just fine. Something tells me they are forgiving when it comes to watering but I would err on the underwatering side if I were you.

[@fignewton0000]

4:47 I want a spongebob pot. Also this makes me wonder if there is actually a variety of underwater pineapple lol Edit: yes there are in fact pineapples that grow underwater they're called sea pineapples and they're mostly eaten in The Koreas as a side dish with sake

Interesting! I just googled it haha. It seem to be an animal...

It should stay until the main roots have secondary branches that appear.

Hey Shawn, Can you please make a video on what Mosaic Virus is and is it good or not? Just want to be sure

Hello, I dont actually have plants with mosaic virus so I have no experience with that. But its pretty bad and its actually spread by pests. So pest management is the way to prevent it.

Until you see decent sized roots. Its quite fast I would say 5-6 weeks 😀
