Wow! If only those pineapples weren't as pointy as they are, I would so just dive in there and have fun! Thanks for sharing. Love all the fruits that are happening on them!!
Wow, they are looking good.
Nice video, thanks for the info,i started doing this 5 years ago with two crowns from the pineapple,last year the first started to bloom and now the second one is blooming,i live in Holland so i take them indoor in the winter,beautyfull to see it grow,only bad thing about the plant is the very very sharp points on the end of the leaf,i cut them off.
wow...just great advice on growing pineapples, at home. thank you randy. much love and god,s peace to you.
+rafiqa11 Thank you very much!
Good job in explaining. Thank You
Manure is feces from a cow, goat, horse, sheep, chicken, duck, or burro that has been composted with straw. Green sand is a mineral that is mined from the ocean floor.
thank you . the info helped a great deal !!!!
Thank you so much for the information
Yes I do. I amend it with fertilizer, compost, manure, and green sand.
Thanks for sharing! We are working on an episode on our variety. It's about to bloom. Great information, thanks for sharing.
I use fertilizer, but not pesticide. I use a nitrogen fertilizer when they are small. I switch to a more balanced fertilizer when they are older so that they get the phosphorus, and potassium that they need for fruit production. I also supplement iron at all stages.
It's actually a little odd to have any pups forming before it blooms. Like all bromeliads they form right after the flower emerges. When it does happen it is usually a sign of distress, but your plant looks healthy. Your plant could bloom at any time. Mine usually bloom in the Spring, and occasionally in the Fall. I prefer suckers to ratoons, for secondary pineapple growth, since suckers produce bigger fruit than ratoons. I remove ratoons and leave one strong sucker on the plant to grow.
Is there anything special you feed it when watering?
I have a sucker growing on my plant, when should I pull it off ? And after removing it from the plant do I put it in soil right away ?
Great video Randy! I planted a pineapple top recently, and for a while it wasn't doing anything, then it started to grow a couple of new leaves at the top, but the growth is really slow. Then the other day I turned the pot round and I noticed two tiny ratoon growths from the base of the plant. When is the best time to separate them?
Thank you for the information. BTW. Is there any special way to prune the leaves off of the plant after harvesting the fruit ? Or do you just leave them on?
wow im shocked about what u said ...everything I have read was totally different.. thanks for the info I will tune into you for pineapple info
lovely pineapples I am growing 2 too I planted tops and now they are about 4 months old. Mr Randy I like your plants very much and I think I have found someone who could help me some one I can trust pineapples I have are having small spines all over the leaves on the borders the spines are pinkish in colour I live in Pakistan and it's summer here about 35 degree Celsius here I water I water it when its soil feels dry from top and spray water on leaves its looks healthy but I still need some guidance about the variety I have I have planted it in a 5 gallon tub should i plant it in the ground? because the top was from a pineapple weighing 1.5 kg please guide me about the variety of pineapple I have and should i plant it in ground or not I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP
thank you
I planted a store bought pineapple directly into palm soil in late April of last year. I live in SE Louisiana where it stayed outdoors until November, now still inside as of today. I'm watering it today and I notice there is a pineapple growing!!! The pineapple is already about 1.5" tall. I truly was not expecting this for another few years. It has been a warm winter and I do not have central heat in my house, only fireplaces and radiant heat. I suppose the soil and the weather conditions allowed the plant to flower in less than a year? Can you give me any insight on it's quick production?
Randy, I live a stone throw from you over in Winter Haven. I'm taking my first shot at growing pineapples, I'm curious how your plants did this winter? I've only been down here for a couple of years and was told this winter was unseasonably cool. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
+canuck20 They do fine in Winter. The only year I had any problems was 2010 which was a record year for cold. That year I had a lot of frost burned leaves, but they still pulled through. All you should ever have to do where you live, is throw a sheet over them on freeze nights. I don't even always do that much.
I amend it with fertilizer, compost, manure, and green sand. I mix those things into the soil.
Try going to feed stores or to the places where farmers get their fertilizer. It will be much cheaper than at regular retail stores. You can also build a compost bin and make your own compost. A worm bin is another way to make your own fertilizer. There are ways you can do it for cheap or even for free.
Thanks Peter! It sounds like your plant decided to more or less abort the original crown. I'd wait until they are about six inches long, with a decent rosette of leaves. ie big enough to be planted and survive. Then choose the smaller of the two ratoons to remove and leave the stronger of the two. If the original crown changes its mind, and kicks into growth, then remove both ratoons. Leaving too many rosettes on one plant, spreads its resources too thin to produce good fruit.
good video...I would like your help if you dont mind...I have a pineapple about 1 1/2 maybe 2 years an I have a Ratoon pop up... an from the research I have done it is in the stage of flowering ....how long till I see a flower? not to promote my channel but I put a video of it up if you would be kind enough to look at it...please an thanks for you time
The best way is to build a compost bin, but you don't have to. Just pile it up, water it, and turn it every week. Once it is all black and broken down, it will be ready to use.
but how did you process it
i need to know it
now
but how if i use dry grass, kitchen scraps and other fresh plant and dry plant
I grow them in containers, because there is a nematode in the soil in my area that attacks the roots.
Do you get regular sized fruits in pots?
do you use that water for the plant food?
why do you have a very small container will the root spread out and get out of the drainer of the container
what did you use to make your own compost soil
I grow them in 5 gallon containers (~20 liters) and the roots never break the containers.
Ok. They take several months to ripen, and like I said in the video that will be in the Winter, so I'm not sure how they'll do. Normally they bloom for me in the Spring and ripen around july. Hopefully they'll sweeten up even though it will be cooler weather.
will the pineapple plant fruit in to the small container
forever?or not if i replace it during the fruiting process will it fruit
forever or will it stop fruiting?
lovely pineapples Randy !!
what is the depth of your pots ??
Are ur pineapples grown in partial shade ??
Jacqueline Dawson I use 5-10 gallon pots usually, but you can get decent pineapples from three gallons as long as you feed them regularly. Five is better though. I do grow my pineapples in partial shade, but not by choice. My yard has very little full sun, and those spots are spoken for by lychees, mangoes, bananas etc. I give them as much sun as I can, but full sun would be best. As long as they get a good solid four hours of direct sun they will produce well.
Could you please tell me how do you protect the plants in harsh winters when there planted outside& not on pots what do you cover them with so they can produce the next year
I'm in Tampa FL in USDA zone 9b. I don't always cover them. If it gets really cold I'll cover them with sheets from thrift stores.
Randy's Tropical Plants thanks!
do you recycle the soil with fertilizer?
do you use pesticide and insecticide ?
and do you use fertilizer
oh i think so how if the roots spread out above the container and the container got broken
and how long for it to fruit
Yes you can urine, but you have to dilute it or there will be too much salt (NaCl) which will burn the roots. The ratio of nitrogen to other macro nutrients (P&K) will be very high though. This would be good when the plants are younger, but they will need a higher ratio of phosphorus and potassium when they are blooming and growing fruit. I myself have never used human urine as a fertilizer, but I have friends that swear by it.
thanks
One of my pineapples became too heavy for the stalk and broke off! 🙁I know that it was not ready to be harvested because it was still green. Will this prevent another plant from growing from this plant? What should I do/look for?
Probably to much water caused the stem to rot.
Hi Randy, great video! the flowers on the pineapples at 2:43,do you remember more or less how long where they were growing since you first noticed them ?
Here in tampa florida it takes 2 years from a crown off of a fruit. Then they bloom evey year after that. Not sure if that's what you're asking. Watch my perpetual pineapples video for a lot more info. Cheers
@@Sheikyerbouti8 oh i meant how long did that flower take to get that size from the moment you noticed a small inflorescence in the middle
but do you use worm bin
Hey I I have a pineapple farm here in Jamaica do you know any where in the USA that i can export my produce to. Thanks if you can help.
what is manure and green sand?
but how do you recycle those soil
Compost is organic matter that has been decomposed and recycled as a fertilizer and soil amendment.
This video is very informative, thank you. :) i do have one question, I have 3 pineapple plants I started about 2 years ago. How long does it usually take to start growing fruits or flowers. Thank you :)
Hi Brian. It depends on the climate in which you are growing them, and how much sun they get. In the tropics where it is warm all year, they bloom in 12-18 months. Here in Florida, they take two years. You should be seeing flowers on your plants by next Spring. The fruit take about five months to grow and ripen.
Alrighty that sounds great.... I'm in north east Texas and I brought them in during the winter :)
Brian Smith I heard you have to put apples or something near them to induce fruiting? I had a pineapple growing for a good 3 years and it never grew any fruit so we got rid of it :S
ｈｒｍｍ i will check into this :)
what is a compost
can the urine be a fertilizer for pineapple because according to my researches urine has phosphate, ammonia, sulphate, chloride, magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, creatinine, uric acis, and urea and also contain 95% water
when it is younger will it contain more sugar
thanks
but how if there is no fertilizer
I use any plant material, with the exception of weeds that will spread their seeds, or diseased plant material. All other plant material goes into my compost. I don't use it in my containers. I use compost on my plants in the ground, because the soil here is sandy and poor.
No, when it is older. If you harvest the fruit too early it will have less sugar.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Have you ever had a small pineapple start to sprout flowers?
Yes. It will usually result in a smaller than ideal pineapple. It will still be delicious though.
but if there is no nutrients will it fruit forever
Yeah, that wouldn't be like tip toeing through the tulips.
from flower to fruit is four months
No, I don't, but they are a good thing to have. Your compost bin will naturally have a lot of worms in it too.
ok now i know thank you
but it is much more expensive i mean the fertilizer
Then I guess You'll have to make compost, and get a worm bin.
Got dang nimatodes
Everyone has them in Florida. Just keep a thick layer of woodchips or other mulch, and keep all weeds and grasses away from them.
@@Sheikyerbouti8 I'm giving bacillus amyloliquefasciens a shot this year--so far it looks like it's knocking back the fig rust, but hasn't made a dent in the root knot nematodes in my jalapeno plants yet.
@@wiesejay Lemme know how that works. The best way to deal with nematodes that I've found is to cover the soil with thick mulch. Remove all grasses and weeds to eliminate roots for the nematodes to reproduce in, and don't let the soil get too dry. Nematodes prefer sandy, well drained, bare earth. They don't like soil with tons of organic matter in it. The healthy bacteria and fungus found in compost is repellant to them. These measures won't eliminate them, unfortunately, but it reduces them to a level where they are no longer a noticeable problem for anything other than the most nematode susceptible plants.
oh but i harvest the fruit after 3 and a ½ month
and that's why my pineapple is not so sweet
