Many years ago I was told about growing pineapples, so I had a go! I used to slice off the rosette with a few centimeters of the pineapple attached. Then get a plant pot more or less the circumference of the pineapple piece I cut off, and filled it with compost to within a few centimeters of the top. Covered the compost with a thin layer of grit-sand then watered just enough to wet it - don't saturate the compost. I pushed the rosette firmly onto the compost and placed it on the kitchen windowsill. Hey presto, it rooted! So I potted it on. Many more followed!!

I did a pineapple last year. It's doing really well but not sure when to feed it. I brought it in over winter but when would be the best time to put it back in the green house?

I have now followed the instructions and await the the pineapple to grow. New and exciting idea. Cant wait to see what happens with it. I have this in a green polytunnel so hope it likes it in there.

When plant is a year old you can grow a small pineapple, they are much nicer them shop ones.

Can you propergate a pineapple direct into the garden? The garden is in sub-tropical southern Portugal! It's a supermarket bought fruit! Do I follow the same instructions as pot grown pineapple. Will it eventually produce fruit and how long will it take? Thanking you in advance!
