How to Re-Grow a Store Bought Pineapple - Complete Growing Guide

[@miserynmissouri]

Hi I just wanted to say that you should water your pineapple top from the center of the crown. Just pour the water into the hole there in the center and it will go down. This ensures that those little roots are watered and washes the soil down and away from the base to prevent rot. Also once your plant blooms look for offsets that can be removed from the mother plant and planted. They will produce pineapples faster than your planted top! 😊🍍

[@AtuPC_Fi]

Kristi Mooneyhan My pineapple rot almost immediately when I watered it that way.

[@miserynmissouri]

AtuPC I use ProMix soil with about 25% sand added and when starting a top, twist it off the pineapple, remove/tear off about an inch of the bottom leaves and put that exposed area into the soil. Water it completely and don’t water again until the top inch of soil is dry. It will need bright indirect light. And the heat of the summer days will help a lot. They love the heat but I don’t put them in direct sun until I see growth. What kind of soil are you using?

[@AtuPC_Fi]

Kristi Mooneyhan A mix of coconut coir, perlite and gardening soil.

[@miserynmissouri]

AtuPC Ok The coconut coir is good but it is used to retain moisture and a lot of the gardening soils will stay sopping wet and not drain well. The perlite is a great addition. What I would suggest is that you take 1/3 of your mixture, 1/3 sand and 1/3 peat. (If you can find Promix it is the best and I mix it with a little sand in it.) Then I only water when the top inch of soil is dry. In the hot summer it can be every day or every other day. The last top I started grew 4 pups/ratoons from the bottom. 😁 🍍

@Grow Your Pineapples When it rains (and it rains a lot in pineapple growing countries) the plants get soaked. The key is drainage.

[@loyapp1583]

I grow pineapple myself. I have experience with the different growing methods. Since pineapple is an easy plant to grow, I'd like to point out few things: 1. You can root the pineapple in water easily. I never had any pineapple experiencing any shock from rooting and transplanting a pineapple. 2. planting - you can remove a lot more leaves from the bottom and plant the pineapple even 2 inches deep. Always worked for me. 3. fertilizing - If the soil is new and high-quality soil, you don't really need to fertilize for the first 1 year. The soil contains a lot of nutrients and no need to add more. It is a waste of money. Basically, many of the methods online works. Pineapple may fail in each method. No secret method or anything. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@poconotrainman]

What about if the pineapple has been refrigerated?

[@jacibledsoe657]

Many years ago, in San Diego, we did this and we had no idea how long it took to grow but that was the most delicious pineapple we had ever eaten!!! It was juicier and sweeter than the one we planted it from. We didn't do anything with the soil except add more soil to it as it grew. I guess we did something right.

Wow I might try growing my Pineapple top in Canada see what happens xD of course it gets way colder then tropics but I can try growing it indoors in my window I didnt know it was THAT easy to grow one I had a Pineapple and was not even looking for how to grow my own I was just like how does it grow now I know haha so I might try this :) used otherwise I would just toss it out anyway haha and the plant is so cool looking too I never seen one and said yup thats a pineapple plant maybe a growing light would work as well

[@BMarie774]

I love pineapple I dont always see them in the grocery stores here and bought one (pricey too imports) I seen this an was like HECK YEAH!!! lets grow one.

I literally put my pineapple top in a coffee cup. filled it with water-and forgot about it for 3 weeks. Pulled it out to find the whole bottom of cup full of a big stringy root system. I just put it in some coco fiber dirt.

[@suziequzie8585]

Best pineapple video yet!! To be honest, I avoided it at first bc of the length, but u pointed out some very useful tips, along with just enough scientific explanation, and without the usual " word diarrhea" so many people have that make similar videos. U made it about the growing process, and not urself. Kudos!!!

[@joanisehughes8843]

I just planted my pineapple head TODAY, I watched your tutorial and twisted the top off removed 3 layers of leaves until the roots show. Dug a cup in the soil watered the soil and planted the Pinapple root down into soil, I will be looking forward to progress. Ty for your tutorial, because I have seen other tutorials that tell you to put it into a glass of water to root. And my first try doing just that failed, but you definitely seem to know what you are doing and something tells me this will succeed. So thumbs up to you and thanks again much...

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Pineapples are funny that way. I've had some fail with just water, and some send out white roots within a few days. But straight into an organic soil, I have almost always been successful. Best of luck!

Growing pineapple from tops has to be the easiest fruit to grow. I had one where 80% of the leaves went brown. I forgot about it for a while. Watered a month later and it went and split itself into two plants. So now I have 2 very large 1 year old pineapples.

[@mystarling2123]

Tampa, FL...Let my dry out for a week, set it among others under-ish hedge, direct sun. It took a year, then little side pineapples appeared and it took a full 18mos total to pick, just like the book says. Mine was in ground, they continue to multiply. You should add new tops all different months in Florida so you always have a harvest running. ***Hint: Raccoons love them, track them and if you don't throw a chicken wire cage over them the last month. The ripening fragrance becomes a race to eat...you will come out one morning with huge bites out if them. heaven help you if you live in a beach side community...fruit rats and squirrels compete for them, do a patch with chicken wire crown is best. The most rewarding, almost no fail crop I have tried.

Thanks for the tips. I love pineapple and one of my favorite fruits. I will try and follow the steps of how to grow pineapple in a pot.

[@DeRien8]

just make sure that when you buy a pineapple to do this with, check the center of the crown. Out in NY/NJ I've noticed that a lot of the pineapples we buy have had the growth tip killed by a stab through the leaves, and if the growth tip hasn't actually been destroyed the stab makes it many times more likely to rot from the top.

[@adryawebb2556]

You can still plant a cored top, it will still put out roots and new suckers.

[@boby9397]

Pineapple is extremely hardy, almost like a cactus. Not frost tolerant but super easy to grow. When I grew my first pineapple (I live in Toronto) I was very skeptical about my chances of success but my friend from Miami told me, "don't worry, it will fruit". Guess what, 3 years later, ie 2 Canadian winters later, and it grew a delicious pineapple. And.... while you're waiting for your pineapple, you'll have a beautiful (although somewhat spikey) tropical plant. Ever since then I always have more pineapples growing.

Question: what do you do with your pineapple plant during the winter? You stated you live in MI so it’s obvious you overwinter it indoors but where? Near a window? In a basement with grow lights? And during the summer, do you put it outside of continually grow it indoors?

[@WilliamWonka]

Haven’t watched the video yet, but I bought a crappy pineapple plant at Walmart a few weeks ago that looked kind of like the potted example in the intro (except really crappy). Unfortunately the stalk up the fruit was very weak and despite my efforts, it collapsed. Tonight I cut the top off of that fruit and repotted it, without knowing anything about it (I like to experiment 🤷🏾) and I’m excited to see what happens. I’ve got nothing but time so anyone who’s got tips, lay them on me!

One important thing, though. After a lot of trial and error I found out something of great importance. If you try to grow a pineapple like in this video, make sure you do it in summertime. If the pineapple is exposed to very low or (worst case) freezing temperatures, you basically have zero chance to re-grow it, because it's very delicate, cold-intolerant plant.

[@matthewpolmanter8294]

Shane Wilson it's been a while since you posted I know but just so you know in case you see this, is that pineapple plants only produce one fruit. However they will send up offsets after flowering that will grow into their own plants and can be separated from the mother if desired. Then you can also plant the crown of the fruit you grow like you did with the original one. Hope that helps!

[@miserynmissouri]

Hyperion Greenhouse is correct and also those offsets will grow pineapples faster than your planted top.

They are basically bromeliads, most bromeliads will live until they flower. After flowering they will divide by producing side shoots called pups after which the mother plant dies.
