Gardening Plant Care : Pineapple Plant Care

[kingofstl841]

what i do is twist the top off an pull off the leaves intill u cant see anymore roots then i put it on tip of the fridge in a clear glass of water an let it shoot new roots on top of the old roots !!an it works i have to pineapple plants in different flowering times an working on a 3rd one right now! i might do a vid an put it up

[kingofstl841]

mr.brown thumb where do u get this info at! an have u ever tried doing that ur self?

[1mag1king]

don't leave any fruit my mom and i use to try rotting them this way and we failed every time.

twist the crown of the fruit remove about 3/4 to an inch of leaves place in good soil water every other day to got roots started.don't let soil or dirt get in side crown or it will kill it. water once a week in winter and more in the summer like ever other day is fine. its also okay to mist leaves in hot and dried summers

i been studying horticulture for 7 years this is not the correct way to plant a pineapple.

[SuperJadeDragon]

I have a question. Once you plant the pineapple and another one grows, will the plant continue to grow more pineapples or does it die off?

[ottermill]

@SuperJadeDragon My pineapple plant produced side shoots after the pineapple fruit was removed. I live in the UK so have to keep the plants in my conservatory during winter months. Hope that is helpful.

[gabriellesunheart]

You don't have to let it dry...just stick the top on a dish with a bit of water in it. Or you can just plant it directly into the soil. It grows every time. I would know I grew my own pineapple patch this way.

[petburaki]

@gabriellesunheart

[crochunter627]

Some people are real judgmental. The guy has had it work in the past. Open up your minds. I am trying several different ways. He seems like a nice guy and doesn't need all the insults.

[copperhead228]

you know for an informative video he does'nt seem to in it. and that is not the way you plant a pineapple. just search on youtube. and alot of the time the homemade videos are better then the supposed professional ones.

[StatenIslandSlim]

Poor MR Green Thumb his thumb lost its color green It should be " Hi im MR All Thumbs & no garden smarts "

[bowler8]

plant the top in water, wait for roots...about 2 weeks then plant....not sure why he's drying it out...it will rot

[thexcommenterx1]

thumps up if u typed in "pineapples" in the search box cuz u were bored

[jimmytwoshoes2009]

thanx!

[MileyHannahMontana25]

lmao 18 months for one pineapple.

[soccer123456789ist]

you look fat

[techdude1876]

Just twist the top of and peel the leaves of until you see roots.

[2Manolo3]

I also tried it six months ago. Now I have a healty pineapple plant. It doesn't matter if you cut or pull it, just don't leave ANY fruit on it. It will rot. Then peel back the first 4 cm of leaves until you see roots. Next you can put it in a glass of water to see if roots are forming. It usually takes a couple weeks until you see roots growing. Then you can put in in well draining soil. However you'll NEED planty of LIGHT and WARMTH. Else it will just rot.

[lance1499]

mine grew i twisted the top

[onestuddd]

I tried this, but left mine in water for about a month and roots started to come out, Now its in the ground, looks good, I also have some Papayas growing.

good video. Now I know how long it will take to grow.

[visionimagify]

@onestuddd Whoa, really?  COOOL!

[bgboy1998]

DO NOT PLANT THE TOP OF THE PLANT! IT WILL ROT AND DIE WHEN DRYING! TWIST OF THE TOP WITH YOUR HANDS,THEN PEEL BACK THE FIRST INCH OF LEAVES AND YOU WILL SEE ROOTS, PLANT THAT PART BUT NOT ANY FRUIT!

[FluffyBalls009]

@bgboy1998 praxxus55712?

Amazing

You know you should really subscribe rate and comment and also add us as friends . as you see were more in commen than you think Guess whyy ...

Anyway SUB US AND WE SUB YOU 100 %

[sxv32idf]

i will actually probably do this! so it doesn't need to be put into a glass of water like an Avocado tree? also if i live in a frost area, can I have this outside in the summer and bring it in during the winter?

[mintchocolatebear]

I have three happy pineapple plants: 1) Rip the baby plant from the fruit in a circular motion. - 2) Remove ALL fruit, and bottom inch of leaves. - 3) Let sit for 48 hours in low humidity, room temperature. - 4) Place in water up to leaves, set in indirect light, and change every few days. 5) In a month, strong roots appear. 6) plant in 1/2 garden soil, 1/2 cactus soil, in an unglazed terra-cotta pot, and soak. 7) check daily, and water to keep somewhat moist, but not wet.

[mintchocolatebear]

@TheEvilSquishyBunny - If they wilted and died, then the plants probably weren't very healthy to start with...or just a run of bad luck. With my three, I looked for green tops without wilting, with baby leaves at the center, and tugged on the baby leaves to check for vigor.

@phdpalomer - Carefully dig them up, pot them, and bring them inside. As tropical plants, they won't survive the freeze.

[adidasbooi]

18 months? ;o noway im gonna try this.. to long time

[reptileGUY300]

@dragosm90 ya?? whys that so bad?? u think its guna grow in a day? or what?

[TheEvilSquishyBunny]

I dont think that drying it out is a good idea i tried drying out 4 pinaples for 1 day each and the the next day i checked on them the leaves were all wilted and when i planted them later they died out. I already have 5 fully grown pinaples and i planted them fresh so i dont think its a good idea to let them dry

[skillerfully]

This guy has absolutly no idea how to grow a pineapple. Look at all the fruit he has left on there the only thing that will do is rot.

[phdpalomer]

I have 12 fairly strong plants growing for 2 months now. The problem that I just realized is that I live in North Texas, planted them in-ground & have severe cold winters. Do you know of a way to protect them from cold weather?

[HaloKing3536]

@phdpalomer surrond them in fire. lol j/k i have no idea

[keeperbay]

Thank you for the Closed Captioning.

[thrasher1100]

the 30 second commercials are starting to suck i might even be intrested in the product if it were a short 10 sec commercial

[samljer]

Theres a far more succesful way to do it, i found with this method success was 1/3 but that apple tip is killer going to try that

[Leonicdragon]

@samljer yeah I always twist the top off, peel back about an inch of the crown to expose the root sites, and then let it dry for a day or two, then rinse it in water and get all the eaves nice and green, trim off the necrotic part (aesthetics) and then put it in a cup and pour a little water into the center of the plant and fill it just to the top of the base before the leaves. Then let it root. Make sure the crown has no mold or else it will just rot. you can keep them in the water if u want

[samljer]

@Leonicdragon

ive always found pinapple weird for that, even with the root tips

sometimes it isnt going to grow, regardless. probably to do with age or the way

some companies harvest them. But im only guessing.

i have however managed to get a sexy mango tree going from pit :D 1 foot tall about 4 - 5 months old. leaves are extreemly red and hang, grow about 8 inches, then they go so green and shiny/lush then stiffen up and stick out. very kool to watch grow.

[mintchocolatebear]

@Leonicdragon - That's exactly what I do. Then I dirt them in well draining soil. :o)

[aaronreina]

Search: How To Grow A Pineapple Inside This Winter.

He has a much smarter way of getting the pineapple started and you don't have to cut and waste your pineapple.

[FredyCalle]

How long does it takes to give fruit?

[nicopita97]

12 to 18 months is what I heard.

[twinsouls]

I thought they called dudes who plant Bud "Mr Green Thumb"

[Totallymary1]

AMAZING! 'm so going to do that when i get home from india, helping the elephants!

[sabrinac1]

Wow! I'm going to try that.

[monkey93222]

hmm i read about this in my plant propagation book and always wanted to try it. The book said to dip the top of the pineapple in some fungicide THEN let it dry for a couple of days though

[stillspinnen490]

you skipped so many steps.... like getting all the flesh off, drying it, putting it in water for a few weeks for the roots to grow, then planting it in a pot...

[JISTA3JULY13]

actually you don't have to put it in water first, but i found that putting it in just water does help it grow faster because you can always make sure it has the proper amount of water, as with dirt you cant tell as much if the water has seeped all the way to the roots so it may not grow as fast because the roots may not have sufficient amount of water : )

[sara46762]

do we need to remove the flesh ? you mean just pineapple top to be cut and put in the soil is enough?

[stillspinnen490]

yes remove all the flesh.. this guy has no idea what hes talking about..

[tecknixia]

I remove the flesh and quite a bit of the bottom leaves so it will rest on the edge of a container with water in it. You don't need to dry it at all. Once the roots develop, plant in soil. I like to use the big pinapple juice cans for pots.

[Sarnarath]

how big is the plant when pineapples will start to appear?

it it smalll enough for indoors?

[ikerlus]

this is alright

[downtowncowtown]

awsome !

[BakasRvivor]

Great advice! Im gonna try this :D
