I have done it a few times over the years and it works well. They are fairly easy too root. The first time I did it I lived in TX and it grew into a very large plant but did not bear fruit because we had a frost one night and I forgot to bring it in and it died!

But I tried it again a few years ago. I planted in the spring of 2012 and then kept the plant indoors through the winter. I picked a pineapple in September of 2013 so it took atbout 16 months. The fruit was very small but also very delicious.

I would think you could grow them well in Florida.
