I have a pineapple plant I bought from a store that already had a small fruit on it. It's sitting in a pot inside, with daily sunlight. The kids were playing and broke the stalk with the fruit on it. I tried to repair, but it was broken too far and ended up dying and wilting away. The rest of the plant still stands as normal. What do I do now? Will a new fruit come up from the existing plant? Help!!.

"Pineapple plants can fruit a total of three times during their lifetime before you must replace the plant, although not all plants are capable of producing multiple fruit and some plants may fruit more. Indoor potted plants are more likely to produce only one or two fruits in their lifetime because they do not always receive the optimum conditions necessary for thorough fruiting. Each flower stalk produced by a plant has the capability of setting fruit. The first fruit typically grows largest, with subsequent smaller fruits produced later."
