Nice work! I also have one that I started from a Kroger pineapple. Been about a year and it’s really taking off but no bloom yet…  
How long did it take you to produce that fruit?

#### Ryan replied on 2025-01-18

My first one took about two years and this one took 1 year

Hi yours look so amazing. I just stated mines yesterday, any tips?

I find they grow so much better for me in terracotta pots, well draining soil and I try to mist them every so often and make sure there is always a small amount of water in the center where the new leaves come out.
