Do you mind me asking about your care? How did you get a pineapple to sprout???

Cut the heads off then water like a cactus. For the first one I cut down at an angle and saved the head out in the sun so it dried a bit while I cut the rest of the pineapple, then I put it in wet soil. It died very quickly at first so honestly I recommend doing multiple at once. For the younger ones my dad put them in a container with no drainage that barely fit them, stuck the most clay hardened dirt in there, and rarely watered them.
