How A Pineapple Plant Looks Like

when you plant a pineapple top, after 7 months, this is how the pineapple plant looks like. this is in the garden of my parents' home.

when you buy pineapples, choose the pineapples with the lush, green, long, healthy-looking leaves. The middle or center leaves have to be particularly healthy because they are the newest leaves and they are a determinant of the health of the pineapple top as a plant.

when you cut off the top from the fruit part, leave an inch or so of the pulp/fruit part together with the top. don't cut at the base or the stem of the pineapple top, you will render useless the pineapple top as a plant. the cut part of the fruit is where the roots will grow. you can plant the pineapple top a day or two after you remove it from the fruit. you can place it in the soil of your garden or in a pot. but it has to be planted in the soil because it becomes a really big plant.
