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!

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

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

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

@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.

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?

ofcourse im right ive got a small pineapple garden with 20 or so.. they all give fruits 1 a year and they all leave me with new to plant for next year.. ive got a fruit garden in thailand.. :) but thanks for backing me up =)

[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 Your right.
