So you can grow a plant from a pineapple top!! This one has been here 3 days and already has these little roots. It's really easy to do, simply grab the leaves, twist it off the fruit, peel the bottom 4-7 layers of leaves or untill you see little brown stubs between them, and then put it in a jar so the stubs touch the water. They will grow into roots and they actually will not grow secondaries well until they're in soil so you can just plant them as soon as they're an inch long. It blooms for me every few months and the blooms are red and last a while. You can pollinate them to make fruit if you have more than 1 plant, too! The whole thing smells faintly of piña colada and is all in all really pretty. Bright inderect light and water twice a week as it is a rainforest plant!!
