After 2–3 weeks , you’ll notice roots starting to grow from the base of the stem.
Step 6: Plant in Soil
Once the roots are about 2–3 inches long , it’s time to plant the crown in soil.
Use a well-draining potting mix (a mix of regular potting soil and sand works well) in a container with drainage holes.
Plant the crown so that the base of the stem is covered with soil, but the leaves remain above ground. Water lightly after planting.
Step 7: Provide Proper Care
Place the pot in a sunny location where it can get 6–8 hours of indirect sunlight daily . A south-facing window or a shaded outdoor spot works well.
Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy—water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Maintain warm temperatures (ideally between 65–95°F/18–35°C ) as pineapples thrive in tropical climates.
Step 8: Fertilize Occasionally
Feed your pineapple plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (like a 10-10-10 formula) every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Alternatively, use organic options like compost tea or fish emulsion for natural nourishment.
Step 9: Be Patient
Pineapple plants grow slowly, and it can take 18–24 months for the plant to mature enough to flower.
Once it flowers, it may take another 6–12 months for the fruit to fully develop.
