Grow your own pineapple tree
To grow a pineapple plant, all you need is a fresh pineapple. Pick one up at the grocery store next time you're there, then separate the leaves from the fruit and soak the base in water. In a few weeks, roots will sprout, and you can plant your pineapple plant in a container and enjoy it for a long time to come.
- Make sure the pineapple isn't underripe. It needs to be ripe in order to produce another pineapple.
- Check to make sure the pineapple isn't too ripe by tugging a little at the leaves. If they come right off, the pineapple is too ripe to plant.
- Make sure the pineapple doesn't have scale insects around the base of the leaves. They look like small grayish spots.
