5 Steps To Grow A Pineapple In A Container Indoors

One of the easiest ways to plant a pineapple is indoors, through the top of another pineapple. Follow the steps below and you are sure to have sweet and juicy pineapples soon.

Step 1

Choose a pineapple that is healthy and leafy, cut the pineapple at least 2 inches below the leaves and let the top dry for two days, after the top has been dried; remove the skin of the pineapple and also seven layers of leaves this way the steam of the pineapple is exposed.

Step 2

Submerge the stem of the pineapple in a cup of water for 2 weeks, place it in a location that receives sunlight and after 2 weeks you will see the pineapple top begin to take roots but it is best that you let it sit in water for at least 4 weeks this way your pineapple top has more roots.

Step 3

After 4 weeks in water, transplant your pineapple roots in a container that contains rich soil and compost, dig your soil at least 3 inches deep and place your pineapple roots in the soil, cover the roots exposing only the leafy part above the soil.

Step 4

Place your plant at a location that has just enough sunlight, not too much, and not too small.

Step 5

Lastly water your plant frequently at least 5times a week, add the water directly on top of the leaves. Pineapple takes 24 months to grow from the top of another pineapple to it is best to plant at least ten top at once making the wait worth the while.
