Thank you for sharing us your knowledge on how to plant pineapple .properly. using you're technically so I very much impressed and encouraged to use the top leaves by planting itas far as I know mostly the
As far as I know mostly the pineapple producer used to plant only the new side shoots of the pineapple. Cut off top leaves is only thrown the thrush garbage.
I 100% AGREE!! I can't learn when the videos are only half done. I've messed up lots because of that. Ita all a learning process but the more info is awesomely helpful!
+villfer78 that's flawed logic. they aren't producing just one pineapple they produce many baby plants that then flower and fruit and also the baby plant that comes from the top of the harvested pineapple. do they take awhile to grow yes they do but you get much more than just a pineapple and can have different plants growing fruit at different times.
For those living in very warm climates, like southern Florida or California, it costs people who have a yard nothing to grow pineapples. They can simply plant the tops in a sunny location in their yard and ignore them until the fruit is ready to harvest. Since the tops come with the pineapples which are purchased for food, it costs nothing to plant them. One family in Florida plants them around the base of the trees in their yard, making a the most attractive part of their otherwise minimal landscaping. They just pulled up the sod, planted the pineapple tops, and mulched. Using untreated shredded bark mulch, this suppresses nearly all weeds, and only needs to be replenished rarely. (Treated or colored mulch contains chemicals which could be absorbed by the plants and is not a good idea.) Their yard is much more attractive with the pineapple plants growing around the base of their trees, plus it is easier to mow. They could have purchased ornamental plants, but instead chose to plant pineapple tops - and now they replant the tops of the pineapples they harvest, and the 'pups' or shoots that form off the stalks of the pineapple plants, so it costs them nothing to keep it going, and takes only a few minutes of their time. Sounds pretty logical to me.
+Jefferdaughter - Good Points and Writing Skills too and You are 100% correct :))). Maybe some People have other priorities ://///, like smoking is their Hobby and then BITCH when there are no cigarettes, LMAO. Although I wished I live close to you so you can teach me your Writing Skills, LOL
I’m in Florida and pineapples grow really well here. Perfect climate. It only takes 1 to 1 1/2 years for them to grow. Every spring and summer I plant a bunch of the tops. They’re so much sweeter than any store bought. They are worth the wait!
Yea aight. Ain't nobody got time to wait no 2 damn years. The fertilizer and water plus the pots cost far more than just buying a 3 dollar pineapple from the market
The plant only grows one pineapple at a time. Truly amazing. We as Americans need to be much more grateful for the produce, and the growers, for producing the food we have been able to eat. Thanks for the beautiful video.
Not true actually, you can get several pineapples off each plant. When it fruits it sends off suckers 3 to 6 of them I pull off some and plant I leave one or two on. If you leave two on then you get two smaller pineapples.
@@jeffriffel4364 I have 6 suckers on one plant and 5 on another. So from what you suggest I should pull some of these off and plant them and the ones that remain will produce more pineapples. Now, should the suckers be rooted in water or do I just go right to the soil? Thanks!
@Sergio Aguirre I know I did not say it is a charity. What I am saying is we must be grateful for the produce we have available, often times we forget to appreciate the food we have been given and the work and time it takes to produce one pineapple.
I have one that I started a few years back, my husband said to me why you want to plant one it takes 5 years to bear, I started it anyway, it has baby shoots about 3 but no pineapple as yet, I started it because my son loves pineapple, even if I am not around when it bears he and my grandchildren will hopefully get to harvest and eat the fruit. ❤
I wish more persons thought like you. Not only for ourselves but for others. That is why today we are enjoying so many of God's Blessings called Nature. May ALMIGHTY GOD continue to bless you and your family.
I had the same problem. A Facebook friend told me to wrap the plant in a air tight plastic bag with a rotten apple. I did that and almost instantly i had my pineapple flower and my pineapple was almost twice the size as his. The mother plant won't produce again but it will give you other shoots that will. If you cut it off when is not ripe enough it won't ripped anymore. Wait till it's a golden color all over. I wish I could find my pictures of my pineapple pineapple. Good luck
I have one growing on my patio for 4 months now. When I was in highschool my mom moved into a house once that had 3 pineapple plants hidden in the corner of the backyard, and one day while playing with my dog I noticed a weird looking plant and I was like is that a pineapple. Well of course I went to check it out and there were 3 pineapples that grew and I screamed with excitement and ran and told my mom and siblings. We ate them when they turned yellow. That was the best and juiciest pineapple I ever had thanks to the people who lived there before.
I did the same thing with a nice leafy pineapple top. It took a while to take root, then I put it into a 1 gallon pot with some nice loose soil. After almost a year I transplanted the plant into a 5 gallon container and a few months later it started to flower. LONG STORY, after ANOTHER YEAR the pineapple fruit was as large as a cantaloupe. When it turned a nice yellow color and smelled great we harvested it. After a through washing my wife and I ate it SKIN AND ALL, so delicious. After harvest the mother plant has now developed two new heads, so who knows ? Maybe a double harvest in a couple years. Good things come to those who wait. And, yes we live in Sunny So. CAL.
I think that you will find that the second set of fruits aren’t going to grow as big as the first one, but will be ok, but anything after that won’t amount to anything at all. Commercial pineapple plantations usually harvest the first pineapple, then the second ones (which are smaller even in commercial operations) and then they plow the plants under and replant.

3 and a half years ago I watched your video and planted my pineapple and today I finally harvested it! Thank you for the video! From Fresno, California
My mother grows gorgeous little pink pineapples here in South Florida. Homegrown is so much more delicious. Picked and enjoyed at the peak of ripeness. So rewarding.
Thats why I always tell people how fucked up some foods are. Literally every grocery store is full of these, year round. And look how long it takes to ''organically'' make one. Imagine the shit they do to speed up the process Still a delicious fruit tho
Mine took about 5 years as well but I didn't mind because honestly I completely neglected it. It stayed in a small pot outside. Never watered it, never fertilized it. Still it gave me fruit. Very forgiving plant. Waiting for my pineapple to ripen before I can eat it.
Many people complain but then grow flowers that won't ever give them fruits and they are ok with it. Some fruit plants are quite cute and decorative, why not?
It took 2 yrs and you kept making this video. I have never such step by step progress of a pine before. In fact i have never seen its flowers or don't know nothing about. About 3 months ago, I had cut the top of a pine apple and placed it in flower pot. I had no expectation but its seems to be doing well. I was wondering if I need to transplant it to a bigger container. Your video has answered a lot of my questions. Just out of curiosity, where are you from.? Your accent sounds Indian.
I don't know if I would have transplanted the pineapple because for such a slow growing plant a constant flow of nutrients is important. So disturbing the roots might slow down growth significantly as the plant has to redirect energy from growing the fruit to re-establishing its root system. Just my thought. Excellent video by him though.
I just started my plant i will get back with you in 29 months but I am super excited!!!!! Thank you for this video you gave precise directions super easy to follow!!!
Mine took three years before flowering. My first one died from a cold winter here in southern California but my second one now had a beautiful pineapple growing. Love it. So rewarding to finally see the fruit growing
My joy is opening a can of pineapple and finding a perfectly ripe, lightly cooked fruit. Even when I cook fresh pineapple, it is not as edible as canned. It's a pity we can't get Hawaiian pineapple anymore.
My pineapple plant, after two years, has finally produced a pineapple! It’s so exciting. I have 2 more, one is 1 year & the other is 6 months. They are lovely potted plants, though “spiney” so be careful. I can’t wait until the fruit is ripe & I hope I get a second shoot. It takes a long time- but it’s pretty much a low to no maintenance plant & so rewarding when you see that first bud.
California Gardening This was a very informative well-filmed video, thank you for outlining the entire process! I'm going to give this a try myself and since I live in Canada I'm hoping that it can stay warm inside with a grow bulb in the winter months to keep it going. I had a question if you are able to answer it, I noticed the flower isn't a typical flower with pollen or at least not that I could see... Does it require pollination?
@@TicklerDude would do you have to lose? And when it grows older it will start producing more fruit plus if you have space enough you can plant several pineapple plants which will give you even more pineapples
Ok I just prepared my pineapple here in Roseville California, I’ll keep you posted on how it comes along, wish me luck and I really appreciate you teaching me. 🍍
I'm in the UK (south coast) and I managed to grow two pineapples in my conservatory. All I did was water them now and again, no fertiliser or fuss. I never expected them to fruit, indeed everyone said we can't grow pineapples in the UK. Well, I can tell you, we can ! And they were the best tasting pineapples I've ever had.
Notice how the fruit stopped growing in size when you added fertilizer? The fertilizer you used was promoting green leaf growth and thus stunting your fruit size. The slight discoloration of the leaf is not an issue and should be expected. Do not try and correct this while the fruit is growing. Thats not to say dont fertilize. Just make sure its the right composition and timing of them. Just a little clarification for you all.
Jonathan Fides I have fruit growing on mine currently. What fertilizer would you recommend and how frequent? This is my 1st time but she’s looking good😆
@@par-the-ham I haven't grown pineapples so I might be wrong but, I'm assuming a fertilizer with a high potassium and phosphorus and with a low nitrogen content. Most plants are in need of alot of nitrogen in their regular growth stage but when fruiting they require more potassium and phosphorus. High nitrogen in fruiting stages can cause it to stunt growth. Look on the back of fertilizer packs they should have an NPK rating, look for one that has a higher p and k rating and a low n rating.
I grew a pineapple exactly the way you did, took over two years to fruit but when it did, I was ecstatic. The first fruit was about the same size as in your video… But the taste was amazing. So concentrate, so fresh. The best pineapple I ever ate. I could hardly wait for the others to bloom and fruit. Truly was amazing taste. You will never want to eat an overgrown pineapple again. Lol
I currently have 8 pineapples growing and never, ever use any kind of fertilizer. I've been growing pineapples for years. The taste is unlike a store bought one. The vanilla taste in an organic one is amazing.
Once you’re hitched, plant another one for the inevitable filing for divorce. Afterwards, plant another one, for the time it takes for her to collect her cash and prizes.
This was such a positive video. I'm started mine last night after making a homemade pineapple upside down cake. I'm going to take such good care of my new pal :)
We don't do any of that in Hawaii. We twist the top off, remove a few rows of the bottom leaves to expose the roots and plant it directly in the ground. After about 18-20 months we have pineapples on the table. We get faster fruit from the offshoots from the mother plant.
I'm trying to grow the plant know k live in Maryland and hear i have it as a house plant then when it gets late spring and early summer I will put it outdoors
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!! CONGRATS ON SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!! I just bought a pineapple today and cut the head and there was already ROOTS! So excited, but I did something different before placing it in the water, I actually pulled the lower leaves out, in order to fit in the glass (after learning how to cultivate desert tree plants) thought it might work for pineapples too... FINGERS CROSSED! Thanks for your creative video! Cheers!
Julian Trinidad Gardea how has your pineapple worked so far? It’s been a few months since your comment so it seems like something good should have happened. Hopefully it’s working
I got a pineapple top to grow once and had it indoors for a couple of years in an 8-inch pot. It didn’t grow a pineapple but it was very satisfying to see it grow. Unfortunately I read on the internet that you should water them from the top, letting water into the leaves. This resulted in the plant rotting and dying. Later I read that they are very sensitive to rotting, so you have to be careful not to overwater! Where I live it’s more cool and humid so that is a big problem. I hope to try again but subsequent attempts have failed to root. One day, I will have my pineapple. It will be ripe and sweet and tiny. I will be a proud plant parent.
Definitely want to grow my own now. I'll probably even forget it's supposed to be a fruit plant and in a year or three it will be a great surprise for myself ☺️🍍 this was so helpful, thank you so much for actually filming the whole process for such a long time. 🙏🏽💖
@MODITES it’s possible but it would probably require special lights and a warm room to actually grow them as here in England, it probably isn’t warm enough or sunny enough (it’s raining as I speak). However, you could probably grow the plant indoors but not expect any actual, edible pineapples to grow.
Bruh, this thing took 30 months to grow one pineapple.... Freshman year: "Bro! I'm going to grow a pineapple" Junior Year: "Damn, bro the pineapple sucked"
mintucola that's actually nice, I've had the idea to grow watermelons or plain melons but I don't have the patience so i stick with zucchinis, but i have the patience to grow bananas which take like 2 years, and my passion fruit vine hopefully will have fruits next year, btw, several types of gorgeous orange butterflies like to put their eggs on it and at times the plant is full of butterflies. I remember my grandma had a pumpkin patch now that I think about it
Very well made video! I have just started my journey growing pineapples. My aunt gave me one from her organic garden last year. I almost killed it by planting it in my garden, but watching these videos, I realized it was too exposed to the heat. I repotted it into a container, put it in shade, and it's been growing ever since! I'm so excited to one day see the flower. I've tried starting a few myself, but so far no luck, which led me back to these videos. TH-cam is awesome!
If you grow the pineapple in rich soil, it actually grows like a weed a produces like crazy, that's the difference between growing in a pot and growing in the ground.
Nopehahalolwut it grows like crazy in rich soil you say? That's just perfect as rich soil is something I have in abundance. In fact I wonder how well a pineapple plant might love aquaponics? As I have a pond that could use some nitrogen hungry plants to filter it's water
@@almozib It's a minimal effort really. And, you're missing the point of doing something yourself. And no matter what it is, generally growing stuff yourself tastes much better. Try comparing "fresh" beef from a local farmer/butcher to a grocery store. Food now a days, it's not the same at all. It's all about quantity for these big companies rather than quality.
So far I have 2 avocado plants going, I just started a mango seed it's still wrapped. Now I'm defn. determined to grow a pineapple it is my favorite and had no clue that it looked that way growing ,my daughter constantly draws the endless pineapple flower lol ...yours came out beautiful it looks so yummy!!!! Defn. Worth the wait!!!
The thing with avocados is that it takes 15 years to bear fruit... And it also need a pairing match of another type of avocado to produce fruit. But i know some types are self fruting.

Thats why I always tell people how fucked up some foods are. Literally every grocery store is full of these, year round. And look how long it takes to ''organically'' make one.
Imagine the shit they do to speed up the process
Still a delicious fruit tho
That's what I was thinking the whole time watching this. What are we not being told? What are they getting away with?
Sooooo true!!!!!
My guess is that they have hundreds of acres and that they always have batches planted
Dusk0nerSA yeah that’s how they do it haha. They don’t do anything to the fruit to ‘speed it up’ they just have a lot of pineapple plants.
Or … they rotate the crops🙃
It doesn't take energy, but it takes a LOT of patience
But im using up all my patience and I need the energy to make more patience.😂😂😂
@@bryguy7304 ikr😂😂
I'm still trying to grow the roots
Pineapple free energy confirmed
That is the whole point of farming. Not the workload but the patience.
Damn....I wish I had seen this video 26 months ago.....
Saila Gaffur IKR 😂😂
Saila Gaffur Yeah, I wish I could see videos before they are released also.
So u cn be 3 months away from harvest?
It’s already been two months. have you started?
I totally appreciate organic pineapples now, wow! I had no idea it took that long.
Thank you so much for your time and effort.
Mines grew after 5 years. That plant taught me how to be patience. So maby times I wanted to burn it and flush the ashes.
Mine took about 5 years as well but I didn't mind because honestly I completely neglected it. It stayed in a small pot outside. Never watered it, never fertilized it. Still it gave me fruit. Very forgiving plant. Waiting for my pineapple to ripen before I can eat it.
Lmao.
MarielasSister how small of a pot did you use? I don’t have a lot of space so I’m trying to see what I can get away with lol
Lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Many people complain but then grow flowers that won't ever give them fruits and they are ok with it. Some fruit plants are quite cute and decorative, why not?
I admire your patient, imagine waiting for a years to finish this video!! Now 2020 still helpfull
Almost 2 years since the first time I tried this and am just now getting my first fruit!
That’s amazing!!
6:50 "The fruit smelled a little fruity." Instant like
😅
That part had me dead 😂😂😂
Lol 😂😂😂😂
A little frrrrruuitty*
😂😂😂
Thank you! While waiting for the plant to fruit just enjoy the growing process and the beauty of the plant.
It took 2 yrs and you kept making this video. I have never such step by step progress of a pine before. In fact i have never seen its flowers or don't know nothing about. About 3 months ago, I had cut the top of a pine apple and placed it in flower pot. I had no expectation but its seems to be doing well. I was wondering if I need to transplant it to a bigger container. Your video has answered a lot of my questions. Just out of curiosity, where are you from.? Your accent sounds Indian.
Yes Indian accent
He is from California
That's an unmistakably Indian accent
I don't know if I would have transplanted the pineapple because for such a slow growing plant a constant flow of nutrients is important. So disturbing the roots might slow down growth significantly as the plant has to redirect energy from growing the fruit to re-establishing its root system. Just my thought. Excellent video by him though.
This is interesting, I just collected some seeds from a store bought pineapple and plan on sprouting them !!
Have fun with your pineapple project...
I just started my plant i will get back with you in 29 months but I am super excited!!!!! Thank you for this video you gave precise directions super easy to follow!!!
Kayla J see ya in 27 months!
See you in 25 months!
See you 12 months. ....✌
see ya in 21 months (:
See you in 20 months!
Mine took three years before flowering. My first one died from a cold winter here in southern California but my second one now had a beautiful pineapple growing. Love it. So rewarding to finally see the fruit growing
My joy is opening a can of pineapple and finding a perfectly ripe, lightly cooked fruit. Even when I cook fresh pineapple, it is not as edible as canned. It's a pity we can't get Hawaiian pineapple anymore.
I love how patient you are while making your videos. I love being taken along on your garden journeys.
"When smelled the fruit, it smelled a little fruity" made me smile ☺
My pineapple plant, after two years, has finally produced a pineapple! It’s so exciting. I have 2 more, one is 1 year & the other is 6 months. They are lovely potted plants, though “spiney” so be careful. I can’t wait until the fruit is ripe & I hope I get a second shoot. It takes a long time- but it’s pretty much a low to no maintenance plant & so rewarding when you see that first bud.
They sound like toddlers and babies.😊 All the very best.
you are amazing. your patience snd diligence is outstanding
Thank you :)
high quality filmmaking skills
California Gardening This was a very informative well-filmed video, thank you for outlining the entire process! I'm going to give this a try myself and since I live in Canada I'm hoping that it can stay warm inside with a grow bulb in the winter months to keep it going. I had a question if you are able to answer it, I noticed the flower isn't a typical flower with pollen or at least not that I could see... Does it require pollination?
More than 2 years to get 1 pineapple? No thanks, I’ll just go to the store and buy a pineapple for $3.
@@TicklerDude would do you have to lose? And when it grows older it will start producing more fruit plus if you have space enough you can plant several pineapple plants which will give you even more pineapples
Thank you for taking video footage for 2 years in order to show us the process AND the reward! Subscribed
Ok I just prepared my pineapple here in Roseville California, I’ll keep you posted on how it comes along, wish me luck and I really appreciate you teaching me. 🍍
So how'd go?
Did it sprout roots?
Send me some, I live in England!
How’s it doing??????
Gonna leave my comment so I get the notification in 2 years
I'm in the UK (south coast) and I managed to grow two pineapples in my conservatory. All I did was water them now and again, no fertiliser or fuss. I never expected them to fruit, indeed everyone said we can't grow pineapples in the UK. Well, I can tell you, we can ! And they were the best tasting pineapples I've ever had.
Wow! That is fantastic! What a great effort on your behalf, Enjoy! 🍍🍍🍍🙏🙏✔️😆😆🌾🇦🇺🌞
How long did it take, 2 ,3, 4 years?
we grow pineapples in Florida all of the time. I currently have 3 on the plants right now. Nothing finer than home grown pineapples.
Thank for taking the time for this ✊🏼
I subbed for the accent and the number of times he said "pineapple"
Nopehahalolwut it is the beautiful looking fruit
its Californian accent
And “fruit”😂
Nopehahalolwut 😂😂😂true but... Really tho
@@ManojKumar-sd8nw haha yes i feel you!
Notice how the fruit stopped growing in size when you added fertilizer? The fertilizer you used was promoting green leaf growth and thus stunting your fruit size. The slight discoloration of the leaf is not an issue and should be expected. Do not try and correct this while the fruit is growing. Thats not to say dont fertilize. Just make sure its the right composition and timing of them. Just a little clarification for you all.
Jonathan Fides I have fruit growing on mine currently. What fertilizer would you recommend and how frequent? This is my 1st time but she’s looking good😆
@@par-the-ham I haven't grown pineapples so I might be wrong but, I'm assuming a fertilizer with a high potassium and phosphorus and with a low nitrogen content. Most plants are in need of alot of nitrogen in their regular growth stage but when fruiting they require more potassium and phosphorus. High nitrogen in fruiting stages can cause it to stunt growth. Look on the back of fertilizer packs they should have an NPK rating, look for one that has a higher p and k rating and a low n rating.
This is the only comment of any value on this entire post.
Thanks dear
I grew a pineapple exactly the way you did, took over two years to fruit but when it did, I was ecstatic. The first fruit was about the same size as in your video… But the taste was amazing. So concentrate, so fresh. The best pineapple I ever ate. I could hardly wait for the others to bloom and fruit. Truly was amazing taste. You will never want to eat an overgrown pineapple again. Lol
Yes I agree the home grown pineapples are so delicious! Nice to know you are growing them too!
Everyone is about getting the fruit? Me? I want to grow pineapple for the plant...if I get a pineapple, that's just a plus.
I currently have 8 pineapples growing and never, ever use any kind of fertilizer. I've been growing pineapples for years. The taste is unlike a store bought one. The vanilla taste in an organic one is amazing.
Artistic Translation does a plant continue to produce
How many pineapples 🍍 does it give per year ?
The best time to plant a pineapple is - 3 years ago! Ha! Nice video!
"When I smelled the fruit, it smelled very fruity". LMAO
Raid: Shadow Legends As opposed to rancid, sour, unripe... yes, absolutely *perfect*.
This was still funny lol
This is 40 "frooit" 😂
😂
hagahaha
3o months, unreal patience and dedication. Im growing my own pineapple, and loved watching this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in Maine near the Mt and have been growing my pineapples inside for almost 2 years. I have four at the moment. Peace and Love to you all.
what do I need to grow pineapple inside?
Wow well done! 🤣😄😆✔️🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🌞🍍🍍🍍🍍
I plant one of these at the start of every relationship, if they make it to the 2 yr mark they're wife material
Lmaooooooo
Once you’re hitched, plant another one for the inevitable filing for divorce. Afterwards, plant another one, for the time it takes for her to collect her cash and prizes.
@@TheVersipelis who hurt you.
🤣😂🙃

This was such a positive video. I'm started mine last night after making a homemade pineapple upside down cake. I'm going to take such good care of my new pal :)
Yummy
.my mom always made pineapple upside down cake😋
@@libramagyk I've never tried. I will look for a vegan recipe.
I never knew it took that long to grow......COMMITMENT!!!!
Mine has just produced roots. I’m excited to plant it soon. I live in Illinois wish me luck.
Hope you have an artificial sun in your basement.
did it grew? can you give us the update.
It will die in winter unless you have a strong plant light in your home and grow it inside. It's waaay to cold here in Illinois to grow one outdoors.
I live in New Hampshire and I've been growing 2 plants for a few years now ( the 2nd one for about 6 mo. to a year) No biggie I'm retired..
@@Brandywine53 4r4rr4
We don't do any of that in Hawaii. We twist the top off, remove a few rows of the bottom leaves to expose the roots and plant it directly in the ground. After about 18-20 months we have pineapples on the table. We get faster fruit from the offshoots from the mother plant.
Interesting. Thanks for this info. My aunt planted the same way but it never grew any fruit i guess
Ya ok, but you live in Hawaii. I can plant my crap and 6 months later a canary will blossom out of the soil
@@rich8381 smell that canery!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭"blossom a canery"😄😄good 1
I have family who live in Hawaii and they grow pineapples all the time in their backyard. The soil and weather is perfect for this beautiful fruit.
I'm trying to grow the plant know k live in Maryland and hear i have it as a house plant then when it gets late spring and early summer I will put it outdoors
I had no idea! I thought pineapples grew under the ground like onions and radishes. I was pineapple ignorant and now I know.
Me too bro
😭😭😭
Most people think they grow on trees
Radishes grow above ground!!
Hahahahaha
Thank you for mentioning about the frost! Yours was the 6 th video I’ve watched and you were the 1st to mention the weather for growing!
Woke up this morning just after 6:30am with the random, burning question, "Do pineapples grow on trees?". Now, here I am.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!! CONGRATS ON SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!! I just bought a pineapple today and cut the head and there was already ROOTS! So excited, but I did something different before placing it in the water, I actually pulled the lower leaves out, in order to fit in the glass (after learning how to cultivate desert tree plants) thought it might work for pineapples too... FINGERS CROSSED! Thanks for your creative video!
Cheers!
Julian Trinidad Gardea how has your pineapple worked so far? It’s been a few months since your comment so it seems like something good should have happened. Hopefully it’s working
G
Yes, how is it doing?
Dang i live in iowa and this dude has me damn near sold on trying to grow a pineapple 😆
Lmao
Yes! We had pineapple for breakfast so I'm starting mine in Kentucky and in the month if February.
I got a pineapple top to grow once and had it indoors for a couple of years in an 8-inch pot. It didn’t grow a pineapple but it was very satisfying to see it grow. Unfortunately I read on the internet that you should water them from the top, letting water into the leaves. This resulted in the plant rotting and dying. Later I read that they are very sensitive to rotting, so you have to be careful not to overwater! Where I live it’s more cool and humid so that is a big problem. I hope to try again but subsequent attempts have failed to root. One day, I will have my pineapple. It will be ripe and sweet and tiny. I will be a proud plant parent.
My initial plant rotted too! It went brown and dry. Then I left it in compost and a healthy pup emerged! It was amazing to see
Beautiful
I know it isn't that big but honestly the main thing is that it's yours
You did it and that's amazing
Great job!
Man it's like growing ur baby and eat it in 5 slices😂😂🤣🤣
Wow it took 2 years to grow n 2sec to eat
Yeah, it almost makes you not want to eat it. Lol awwe
Your experience,explination and interest to let others know is amazing. Please continue this growing habit
I had a pineapple plant grow TWO fruits, once. They tasted great! Love this channel. Thanks🍍
Definitely want to grow my own now. I'll probably even forget it's supposed to be a fruit plant and in a year or three it will be a great surprise for myself ☺️🍍 this was so helpful, thank you so much for actually filming the whole process for such a long time. 🙏🏽💖
Thank you for documenting this, your knowledge and patients are to be admired.
Him : place in sun
Me in England : about that.
Yoon - Moon I’m trying it but I do wonder if we can grow them here.
XD ikr!!!
@MODITES it’s possible but it would probably require special lights and a warm room to actually grow them as here in England, it probably isn’t warm enough or sunny enough (it’s raining as I speak). However, you could probably grow the plant indoors but not expect any actual, edible pineapples to grow.
Take long time why?
Yoon - Moon 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I actually scared my dogs laughing!!!
Watching this as I prepare as plant my own🥰I'll be back after 3 years
Bruh, this thing took 30 months to grow one pineapple....
Freshman year: "Bro! I'm going to grow a pineapple"
Junior Year: "Damn, bro the pineapple sucked"
Matthew Garcia lol
Matthew Garcia i know right, it would take like 10 years to grow a watermelon...
Adrián Sanabria Sanabria lol you probably dont even care, but i grew a watermelon in my balcony in just few months heh
mintucola that's actually nice, I've had the idea to grow watermelons or plain melons but I don't have the patience so i stick with zucchinis, but i have the patience to grow bananas which take like 2 years, and my passion fruit vine hopefully will have fruits next year, btw, several types of gorgeous orange butterflies like to put their eggs on it and at times the plant is full of butterflies. I remember my grandma had a pumpkin patch now that I think about it
Yea this legitimately inspired me to start gardening. Thank you 😂
At the beginning of this video
“Wow, this is so easy I am going to do this!”
End of video.....29 months later......
“Nah, never mind”
Word....I could've bought 29 Pineapples by then...
Lol
Cflick3 😂😂😂😂 same
Then . U buy a big fruit, replant. After 29 m. the result too small? Duhh..
😄
Very well made video! I have just started my journey growing pineapples. My aunt gave me one from her organic garden last year. I almost killed it by planting it in my garden, but watching these videos, I realized it was too exposed to the heat.
I repotted it into a container, put it in shade, and it's been growing ever since!
I'm so excited to one day see the flower.
I've tried starting a few myself, but so far no luck, which led me back to these videos. TH-cam is awesome!
Welp its 2am and i know exactly what the uk needs, locally grown pineapples
Omg hahahahah its 2:06 how did you know
3 am here in TX...
I REALLY appreciate the detail you put into making this video! So informative... Thank you!
If you grow the pineapple in rich soil, it actually grows like a weed a produces like crazy, that's the difference between growing in a pot and growing in the ground.
Nopehahalolwut it grows like crazy in rich soil you say? That's just perfect as rich soil is something I have in abundance. In fact I wonder how well a pineapple plant might love aquaponics? As I have a pond that could use some nitrogen hungry plants to filter it's water
@@unstoppableExodia having a pond and not inviting us is considered bad manners where I live
Also, the yellowing of the leaves means it needs more nitrogen.
3years of effort to grow $1 worth fruit - it’s nuts...... absolutely nuts. most craziest video 🤔🤭
@@almozib It's a minimal effort really. And, you're missing the point of doing something yourself. And no matter what it is, generally growing stuff yourself tastes much better. Try comparing "fresh" beef from a local farmer/butcher to a grocery store. Food now a days, it's not the same at all. It's all about quantity for these big companies rather than quality.
I just planted me a pineapple, and hope it turns out as amazing as yours did! Thank you so much for the inspiration and patience.
Awesome
So far I have 2 avocado plants going, I just started a mango seed it's still wrapped. Now I'm defn. determined to grow a pineapple it is my favorite and had no clue that it looked that way growing ,my daughter constantly draws the endless pineapple flower lol ...yours came out beautiful it looks so yummy!!!! Defn. Worth the wait!!!
I just put 2 avacode seeds in water 3 days ago! How did your turn out?
The thing with avocados is that it takes 15 years to bear fruit... And it also need a pairing match of another type of avocado to produce fruit. But i know some types are self fruting.
I grew a mango tree from a mango seed and it was doing good until a very rare winter storm killed it, and I live in Texas.
Best video man! This is what I wanted to c! U gave the Time frame and everything! Just awesome!
After the 2 years is so worthy really! Mine took almost two years and was the best pinneaple I've ever had.
Thank You! I have researched many other videos and your video is the most informative.
I look forward to viewing more of your videos.
This brings a new appreciation for pineapples. They are one of my favorite fruits. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to film this for us.
Your voice is so relaxing. Some nights I substitute asmr with your videos to fall asleep.
Edit: Don't mean that your videos are boring!
I just harvested my first pineapple it took 2 years to produce. Patience is one of the keys to growing. I did learn a couple of tips from you.
Thanks
