NOTE: If you have a hard time hearing over the music, try unplugging your headphones and watch without them. I am aware the music is too loud, and I have 100% fixed this in my newer videos, but this was an early video and I was still learning to edit. I apologize for the problem though, and you can be sure this won't happen in any of my newer videos! Thanks for watching!
The Green Alchemist i bought a pineapple plant from meijer. The pineapple already on it. Will it grow big? Do i have to worry about bugs? Can i keep it indoors?
Thanks for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Dinanlinson Building Athlete Approach (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for getting fit by mastering short burst interval training without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy at last got excellent results with it.
Wow! Those are huge and so healthy! NICE!!!!
Thank you! They love their sunlight/grow lights in the winter time!
A trick I learned is to just twist the top off of the pineapple and set it in a small pot of prepared, moist soil. Also, check for a hole in the center of the pineapple when you pick one at the store. Some companies put a hole down the center so you can't grow anything with it.
This video was so helpful I have been growing my pineapple plant for exactly two years from April 2017 to April 2019 so the Apple peeling compost idea was good to know, I'm going to try it and hopefully soon I'll be getting a pineapple flower thanks again. 🍍😊😉❤️🌸🍍
Thank you, I'm glad this video helped you some. I tried it right after I made that video, I think it was about a week later. Still nothing yet but I'm very positive about it. It's actually got a new growth on it and I'm hopeful that it's a fruit. If it does fruit I'll keep you posted!! I can't wait cause spring just got here and I know this is going to be my year to get a pineapple! Keep me posted too, I want to know if others are having success.
Tip the plant over on its side if it's in a container, that will make it produce the chemical to start fruiting. You can even make small pineapple plants fruit that way from what I understand
Good tips! I've got about 7 pineapple plants that started from 1 years ago. Harvesting them at about 1 to 2 pineapples per year and they are the best, but a little small.
Thank you so much for this video!
We brought a pineapple back from a family vacation to Hawaii and I've been trying to grow the top since. Sadly, I was lost. Your video really answered questions that I didn't even know I should be asking.
Thank you!
Don't mention it! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it answered your questions. Mine is doing just fine. The apple trick worked well for me and a couple of friends who tried it too. Let me know if you have any luck in the future. I went to Hawaii back in 2014. I miss it practically every day too. We went to Kauai which is where they filmed Jurassic Park and is known as the garden Island. It was stunning, amazing flora, we can't wait to go back, though next time we plan on seeing the rest of the islands lol. Thanks again for watching!
I have one I just brought it in . the weather in Tucson AZ gets very cold at night in the winter I grow it all summer and I don't want it to die . I hope it makes it in the house during the winter months . Thank you for your tips on bringing this plant in for the winter 👍🏻😄
How has your plant grown since this comment? I too live in Tucson and I am preparing myself for the first winter my pineapple plant has gone thru, any tips?
I’ve grown dozens of pineapple plants. You gave a lot of great advice in your video. The only difference I do is to root my tops in sand, sometimes with an under layer of potting soil but usually just straight sand. I use builders sand, not play sand btw. I save styrofoam bowls or the styrofoam little box that mushrooms come in, punch a drainage hole(s), fill with 3 or 4 inches of sand, shove the pineapple into the sand, then water well and sit it in a sunny location. After that I just water everyday. Eventually, it grows some fine roots then I transfer it to a pot with a mixture of potting mix, sand and compost.
Oh and I have had one old pineapple plant that put out a second (but much smaller) pineapple.
Sand, I use that too with pineapples
Thank you so much for answering my question as like you I have an amazing pineapple plant and want to give it the best of care. I discovered you only last week when I took possession of a coconut palm so I’ll keep an eye on your site as you are highly informative. Have a great day. Saundra
Great information on the apple peals!
It’s much easier to twist the foliage off the actual pineapple rather than cutting it off you will get a better growth rate and all you do is Stripaway the green foliage at the bottom exposing the white area and I just put that in a glass of water until you get roots and then pop it in the soil in a way it goes I now have over a dozen plants growing that way
I have started several pineapple plants doing this.
Grown pineapple for decades. Pretty much only the white sugar loaf pineapple. Once you eat a white pineapple you don’t wanna eat a yellow one🤣 Trust me. Born and raised in Hawaii. Big Island. One thing about pineapple is that they don’t like too much water. I would even say only water when it’s extremely hot and haven’t rained for days or even weeks. Top water and not too much. When fruitis formed and nearly ripe, cut the watering less to prevent fruit from getting too watery. Sugars will be much higher. WHITE PINEAPPLES ARE KING. 🙏🏼👍🏼
That is an awesome pineapple plant
Thanks my baby pineapple made such a delicious fruit to eat
That's awesome. I love a good fresh delicious pineapple. It's even better knowing that I did it myself!
Thank you, bud for the information.
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy my channel!
.........my little pineapple is about 4-5 inches long; from it’s bottom, up to the little baby crown. 👍🏼👩🏼💻👩🏼🌾😍
it would be great if next time you make it clear that your pineapple is indoors. Pineapple need plenty of sun. It takes less then one year for my pineapple to start producing outdoor. No need for the plant to grow that high unless is indoor.
I have a nice pineapple plant which I just twisted a nice pineapple off from, there's is 4 other big schoots where I was told other pineapples will grow, but my question is when is it ok for me to transplant it to a nice big planter.
I heard that too! But I think you are gonna get four tiny ones. They say you should keep one sucker so the fruit has a decent size!
Helpful video, thank you
I have my pineapple crown sitting in water. It has lots of roots. Any suggestion on how I can transfer to soil?
great video! love your plant..
Thank you! Yes it is a beauty! He really took off for me. Winter is getting a bit harder now that I've gotten more tropical plants. Anxious to see how this one is going to play out.
Would Miracle Grow all purpose plant food be a good fertilizer for pineapple? a dose once a week? Thanks!
Awesome info thank you. I have 7 plants that are growing like weeds but i haven't had flowers or fruit. I thought i would have had something by now 3 of the plants are almost 4 years old but i didn't know a lot of this info so maybe next year i might 🤞🤙👍
Awesome! Keep me posted or if you have any questions or problems let me know. On insta I'm ytgreenalchemist. 🌲
Brilliant video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Plant Prudently 🌺
Great informative video but what I want to know do I water my pineapple at the base or down the Center of the leaves?
It's important to do both. I start out by watering the soil fairly well and then I pour a little bit of the remaining water on most of the leaves. If you notice the blades of the plant are set up in a way that they can funnel rain water down towards the center of the plant.
Please do care video for parlour palm, dessert surprise succulent and Xmas cactus. Please also do one for prince of orange and calathea white fusion. Happy planting🌿
Got you covered. Although I do have a video on the Christmas cactus I think I titled it Holiday and forest cacti or something like that. But I've since expanded my holiday cactus collection so I may do a video on that soon too. Who knows? I love parlour and Rhapis palms as well. Plant prudently!
Mine has six ❤
My friend has 2 pineapples growing right now on the same plant
♡ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ the foliage
Its got so much mass on it!
I bought a pineapple plant the fruit was dead now I have a new growth not sure if it's another plant growing or fruit it's next to old fruit stem can you help
any help with pot size? my orginal has a second plant growing next to it..not sure if i should get bigger pot..thank you
Most people usually repot their pineapple plant when it starts to get bigger. You can get it up to a 12 inch pot and as long as it's a heavier pot like clay or terracotta it usually works best simply because your plant can get fairly big with its slips and suckers and not to mention the fruit. A heavier pot stuffed with nutrient rich substrate should keep your plant from getting top heavy. I know some growers even say they'll put theirs in a 5 gallon pot. I think that can be a little much but if it works for you. As long as you make sure yours has plenty of room and ample quick draining soil then your plant will be fine. They do need plenty to eat especially if you want them to fruit.
today i got a pineapple plant by accident because it was marked wrong so I'm watching a bunch of videos on them. also my dad said I would kill it so I'm even more determined to keep it alive and happy haha
it's also already flowering too
I think I missed how long you said you were growing this for.
he said 2 years i think
I have two pineapple plants and brought them in for the winter. I repotted them and during this process my center part of one of the plants came completely out. Will it grow a new center
Do I water 💧 this plant like a regular bromeliad in the center of the cup and not in the soil? I am finding some dyeing leaves at the bottom of leaves.
Thanks for sharing your skills with us, in my country pineapple are very rare but environmental conditions very favorable to grow last year I have 50 plants but they become infected to pineapple heart rot become. This year I want to grown but only online store only selling seeds I am not sure about seeds can you recommend me for growing from seeds?
Hm i am growing a pineapple now it has done well but i was always told they need VERY LITTLE water because the leaves store water? I have only watered maybe once a week if that and only directly to the soil. Does it need more?
That's really all about what I give mine too. Until the dog days of summer hit I keep it at maybe about watering once a week or every nine days. Once the heat gets here I do about every 3-5 days, but KY doesn't get that humid so mine dries out fairly fast. Once the plant produces a fruit though it will need a little bit more water to keep its fruit healthy. I'd say up from one cup of water to about 1.5 cups- two cups every 3-5 days. You are right though these guys can be a little miserly with their water.
This is very helpful. My plants are turning yellow and I think it could be because of overwatering. Used to water everyday but I reduced it to once a week. Hopefully they will improve. Any other tips you can give me?
Some of the leaves on my plant are turning a dark brown color. It is inside in front of a window. I know I'm not watering it too much. Do you think it might be too cold inside for it?
Hi I got a pineapple plant from the grocery store and it has done well the past year but recently the pineapple fell off… is that anything that can be replanted and so far as the old plant… does anyone just keep that for the green leaves? Pretty sure I heard up here it’s just one pineapple per plant?
i lived your video
Thank you!
2022 watched. I miss my old plant got another crown to Root also saving the seeds from my pineapple.
Can you please help me? My pineapple plant currently has white spots on its inner new leaves. Is there anything I can do to save it?!
Is it powdery mildew?
How many are there in the pot
I'm growing a pineapple and where I I've it's been cold and it's in the house for some reason the foliage is turning yellow
Typically, yellow leaves are a sign of stress. The most common reason is from overwatering. I am guessing that you are from the northern hemisphere like I am? If so, it's winter and your plant is resting. Here in Kentucky, we don't get much direct sunlight at all during the winter if we get any at all. This means your plant isn't photosynthesizing like it does during spring/summer. Because of this, they don't require as much water as they do during those months. At most I'll give my big guy 4 cups of water every 3-4 weeks during the colder months. Make sure the container he's in has a drainage hole(s) too. Whatever water your plant doesn't use needs to drain away freely. If you keep a saucer underneath drain that after about 20 minutes. If it is from overwatering just back off on it and stick your finger in the soil before you water again. If it's pretty dry you can go ahead and water again. If not I'd wait. Other signs of stress include incorrect amounts of light, extreme temperature fluxations, incorrect fertilizers, too little water, pests/disease, and low humidity. Though the last typically manifests itself in the form of yellow leaves that quickly turn brown. If you suspect any of these let me know and I'll tell you how best to combat it. Good luck.
I tried the apple to produce a pineapple and it didn't work, but calcium carbide did!!! First, let me tell you I've been growing my pineapple plants for about three years with no success of a pineapple until I found out about Calcium Carbide and within a month I have pineapples growing. I dropped a few chips of calcium carbide where the pineapple should be growing, added a little water and it smoked a bubbled like a science project and now I have pineapples growing from both of my plants. Now my biggest job will be keeping these plants alive during the winter under sun lamps. If anyone has any advise on how to do this, please help. Thank you.
My leaves are turning yellow, planted her about 2 weeks ago. Too much water? It is in direct sunlight which is what I have been told they want
I’ve seen that keeping the soil moist is optimal and depending on the age of the plant direct sunlight could be the problem
If it’s in a really young stage you don’t want to keep it in direct sunlight
My goodness how old is that plant... What state was it grown in?
He's a sucker now. Kentucky!!
I actually did all of the things you said not to do.
People keep telling me to leave an inch in the pineapple when growing should I?
What do you mean leave an inch in the pineapple when growing? Are you talking about at the base of the pineapple once you remove it from the fruit?
Yes people tell me to do that I was wondering?
I keep trying to grow pineapples and I’ve killed all of them.
It looks like 2
I don’t think that’s true. I don’t water mine much at all because when I do, it dies !!!
Yeah you definitely do not want to overwater them. Now annually they only need about 20 inches of rainfall distributed fairly evenly. However if you are trying to get yours to fruit it does need a decent supply while growing another tasty juicy fruit. Also the larger yours is the more water they can take. You also need to take into consideration the temperature. As the heat index goes up the water intake levels need to increase as well. I did also say you should make sure you have the proper porous soil for it, so that the excess water can leave the plant. Leaving them in wet saturated soil all the time will kill em.
Hey there tubers and plant lovers!!!!!!
I was wondering if anyone was ever going to get that little bit of wordplay I did. 🌺
Can you please help me? My pineapple plant currently has white spots on its inner new leaves. Is there anything I can do to save it?!
It sounds like the fungus white leaf spot. Since it's a fruit plant you'll want to be as easy and organic as possible. I would use two tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with a quart of warm (not hot) water and spray daily on the infected leaves/areas. Now, this can cause base rot or it could easily spread to other areas. Take care not to get water on the infected areas. Anytime you need to water make sure you get it just on the soil and not splash a bunch around. A cool damp environment is perfect for fungi to spread. I'd keep him outside or in a room with plenty of air circulation (a fan) to help him out.
They don't need alot of water
I tried this. I had 2 unsuccessful attempts (didn't root and dried out). The third time I finally had success. But that plant isn't doing particularly well. They used to do GREAT. But it became 2 plants. Early this year, I tried seperating them. Which went effortlessly, but ever since the leaves started browning and dying off, until they had no leaves left. I tried more water, less water, more sun, less sun. Eventually I thought that the gnats might be the problem. And I got rid of them pretty well, and yeah they finally started getting new leaves... But the leaves started to have those same brown tips again, yet no wign of gnats.
Also, warm weather
I hope you mean 1 plant at a time cause I've gotten 4 pineapples out of one plant
Yes, I thought that's what I said. Apologies if I wasn't clear.
