Just a couple pic's of one of my pineapple plants, Ed

How did you start your plants? How long has it taken them to flower?
I just take the cut off top stick it in some potting soil, add perlite, It takes about two years or so, half a day light, Ed
Mine took three yrs but it was worth the wait! It was such a thrill! The grandchildren really loved it. It was a little small, but very sweet. Waiting on some of the others to flower again. The one we cut put out new shoots and is a pretty good size plant. Can't wait for another!
Ed, awesome color pics. I have a few of these on hand at all times.Every so often...BINGO! instant pineapples. :-)

Thanks, proper lighting is everything, Ed
Hi,
Just wondering if your growing these in pots and what you do with them in the winter. I have one I planted in a small pot and its still alive but not sure how to overwinter it.
My plant doesn't look all that healthy. Any advice.
Linda
Yes I do them in pot, but don't have to where I live, they will winter a good wet 29 degrees, in the winter where you live put it in a three gallon pot, and put it right next to a south facing window, or if you don't have a suitable window, the only other wat is hang a florescent light somewhere, keep the light about 16 inches away, Ed
We're in 9a and I left mine in pots outside last year and they were OK. If we have a freeze sometimes I cover them, but I think there was at least once where they did not get covered.
Do not let them get below 33 degrees, Ed
