Has anyone ever successfully propagated a pineapple top? My son asked me to try and I found two different suggested methods. The first said slice the top off and let it dry out for a couple of days and then stick it in the soil. We tried that and two days later we spotted a little mold so I dug it up and the entire fruit base was covered in green mold. Several leaves had turned brown and I was ready to pitch it but remembered there was a second way. Because it had already started molding on what was left of fruit I’m guessing it is a long shot but trying it anyway. We cut off all the fruit and removed all the dead leaves and cut the dying ends off the remaining leaves. At the base of the between where the leaves where attached we noticed what appeared to be possible root starts so we applied rooting powder and put it in cactus mix. Like I said, I’m not super hopeful that we can make this work but if anyone has suggestions I’d love to hear them. Just thought this would be a fun little experiment.
