Using Apples to Force a Pineapple Plant to Fruit

- My pineapple plant is now two years old growing in zone 5b
I am going to attempt to induce flowering and produce a fruit on my pineapple plant
.
Research has shown that the larger the pineapple plant is when it flowers, the larger the potential fruit produced. Therefore, my pineapple plant is large and has reached the 30-leaf stage.
I’m excited to try this method and see if I can achieve the results to produce a pineapple fruit.

I just came across your channel and I happen to have five pineapples that are very large and they had not made fruit yet until this year, but only one of them did it. I also got a parrot this year as a pet and I'm just now realizing that one plant flowers! He dropped a piece of apple in it!!!🤯 I never would have figured that out thank you. From Tennessee I'm not exactly sure what zone I'm in though.
Cool! I started a pineapple plant from a store bought pineapple as an experiment, and it's gotten huge over the last year!
That is awesome! Thank you for watching.
@@growingyourfoodinyourownba1221 how many pineapples can u get from one plant ??
@@angelaefferson4409 I’ve heard of people getting up to 5 plants.
@@angelaefferson44091... A pineapple plant starts to die when flowering/fruit start...when you twist off your pineapple, your plant is spent....but it will produce pups at the base...you will need to carefully remove them
I tried this method (3 pineapples) and the leaves ended up turning yellow within 1 week, possibly from suffocation. I took the bags off and fortunately I was able to nurse them back to health, which took about 3 weeks. Luckily, pineapple plants are very hardy. After 3 months, no flowering.
You didn't put holes in the plastic. The heat from the plant needs to escape. Make sure to put holes in the bag next time.
Justs recently saw this. Gonna give this a go. Hope it works. Plant also about 2yrs old. Thank you. From S.A.
Loud and Clear about how to Bloom pineapple.... 👌
My pineapple plant is huge, and its 7 years old, but its never grown a stem or another pineapple. I'm going to try this. I keep it indoors in spring, fall and winter, and out on my deck in summer. I live on Vancouver Island, so to grow a pineapple would be so cool !! :)
You your pineapple is putting itself in dormant mode
@@raidernation4696 but why? What am I doing wrong
Moving it to much , inconsistent humidity…..and your ph sounds like it may be off .what type of soil is it in..
And it needs full Sun … buy you a led grow light ( full spectrum,) and raise your humidity and temp a bit 80-85 degrees keep it indoors until you can have full summer sun outside …. Nothing like the REAL SUN😀
It has all day FULL hot sun, and it never gets moved, so I guess it's the soil or pH...the soil was just bagged stuff I bought at Home Depot. Thanks, I'll see about a pH kit first...
Interesting
You can also drop calcium carbide into center
Can’t seem to get calcium carbide in Canada
Thank you. This is going to be my next option. Did the Calcium Carbide work for you?
But calcium carbide is banned by FAO in 1954
@@sampathpm2432 nope, its a mineral.
When making a statement like that, its important to provide a citation, so that we can clarify it for u.
Sealed bag. WHOLE APPLES. You can open bag IF needed IF pineapple needs air, but ONLY briefly. More apples the better. WHOLE APPLES. Cut apples rot. Whole apples ripen.
My pineapple started losing color on leaves & they fell overnight. I’ve removed plastic two nights ago until leaves stand firm & regain color.
I have a tropical warm house in Germany and I have around 100 pineapple plants.
wow....Awesome!
I have 3 girls every time my wife ate pineapple to induce labor. My oldest girl pineapple fruited 2 springs ago. I dont remember what made it do it but it fruited on its own. Its in a 3 gallon pot on the front porch south facing sky and we bring it inside dury the winter. We live in south carliona
Thank you for your comment.
@@growingyourfoodinyourownba1221 thank you for the video. Educating ppl on plants. Passing along and adding good information
Very informative, thank you!
Very welcome!
My pineapple plant is over seven years old I've tried this and every other way to induce flowering! Nothing happens... But since I started keeping the soil ec between 1400 and 1800, she's exploding with growth and is receiving a healthy amount of phosphorus... Looks like I'll finally have a fruit this year! (I'll still use ethylene as well to increase the chances of flowering though).
Yeaaaaa! congratulations. Thank you for watching.
Where did you get the big bag?
From a friend. Thank you for watching.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I may try this when my apple tree is 1 year old. 🙃
Hi are you able to use apples on other plants as well? Or is it strictly for pineapple. Trying to go my strawberries.
Did it work? I would like to try the same thing on mine
Still waiting. Pineapples grown outside in the "optimum climate" can set their first fruit in as little as 16 months. Less optimum climate (zone 5b) or indoor plants may take 16 to 48 months, or longer.
Madam did you get the flowers. Please inform
Thank your for watching. Not yet, update coming soon.
Why would you bring it inside and not use sunlight
In zone 5b, pineapple plants cannot survive our winters. They have to overwintered indoors.
Does outdoor temperature matter?
Thank you for watching.
Yes. Pineapple plants do not tolerate freezing or cold temperatures below 60 degrees. Optimum temperatures for pineapple growth range between 68°F and 86°F
It does matter within reason because it gets down to about 33°F (2°C) briefly overnight during winter in my Australian location just North of Sydney where I'm on a 10b-11a climate (humid subtropical ,Cfa) but at summer time & even in late spring it got up to 108°F (42°C) on Saturday and Sunday,my pineapple 🍍 plants love it.
I can leave them outside during winter time in my location & they will still grow well :-
drive.google.com/file/d/1ILNSZqgfTqomSdZ9FeV5d0knGnRozj47/view?usp=drivesdk
They are commercially grown North of Brisbane in Queensland where there's an 11b climate, their climate is a bit more tropical where they have a higher average annual temperature 🌡️ than we do but they don't have sporadically blistering hot 40°C+ days like we do.
If you look closely at the plant on the right it's conjoined ,I was up at past 12 AM on Sunday morning doing some gardening when the weather was cooler including watering the plants so I unpotted that one & split in half with a spade & got 2 plants out of it !
I am in sub tropical queensland and yes climate does make a difference . Where I am , inland .. we don't get frosts or chilling winds .. our weather is warm and rarely goes below 10° cel. Even though we are sub tropical often our pineapples will need assistance to fruit . Banana skins or some blood and bone will encourage fruiting. Some plants refuse to give up fruit.
My pineapple is more than 3 years old now but no sign of flower...
It take a white before they fruit. Thank you for watching!
Are you adding fertilizer?
What was the results?!
So far nothing. I just uploaded a new video you a different method. Hopefully this new method will work
Look out that you don't cook your plant! Keep out of direct sun.
Can you get this ethylene gas in a pressurized can and jus pump it in there? Great video Sista!
Dang - Wow great video! Can you make bud act like this??
would it have been easier to put the bag up from the bottom. Set the jar on the bag and lift the bag around the plant.
I just let my apple get a little brown,slice pieces and put 1 piece in the center of my pineapple.I didn't cover them! But they grow big and healthy leaves no pineapple yet.I have about 20 pineapple plants 8 fruited and they other's one's are only about 9mths!The one's that fruited was sweet and delicious!😊
I hadn't heard about the 30 leaves. I've got at least one that meets that criteria so I'll give it another shot. Thank you.
I used banana skins when it was 5 years old
Please let us know if you are successful
Thank you for watching! UPDATE COMING SOON
@@growingyourfoodinyourownba1221 i also did this to two of my indoor pineapple plants, 2-3 years old. Good luck to us both!
That is really a intriguing job
Thank you for watching
This worked for us… thank you!!!
Next time open the bag on the ground like flat: then place the plant in it, and pull the bag up.
May I ask where you got that plastic bag, I'm having a hard time finding a large enough plastic transparent bag? :)
Its a clear jumbo storage bag you can purchase at target or Walmart.
Can I use a dark bag?
Not recommended
Did the plant produce a pineapple?
I also have started a plant from scratch and it’s about 2 years old but not nearly as large as your plant… but I want to try anyway, I don’t care if it’s a smaller fruit.. I’ve been tryin to grow these plants for years and my son broke one off completely after 3 years of growing. I had another 3 yr old plant die of some disease it caught so I’m sick of waiting., I’m just going for it this time!
Thanks for this. I’m in zone 6a & am about to try this with my pineapple plant.
Good luck!
