| How to Grow a Pineapple |
 |
| Plants are easily grown from the leafy tops of pineapple fruits. See details. | |
| When to Fertilize | |
| Pineapples are slow growers and prefer a light, steady feeding. See details. | |
| When to Water | |
| Although pineapples can withstand drought, they prefer moist, acidic, airy soil. See details. | |
| Forcing Bloom | Ananas comosus var. Kona Sugarloaf |
| It generally takes 2 years for a plant to reach flowering size. See details. | This photo was taken in mid summer 2008. I think it is one of the best varieties for fresh eating! The fruit is very sweet with low acidity and an edible core. |
| How Much Light? | Pineapple Topics |
| An unobstructed southern exposure offers the most direct sun. If your pineapple receives less than 8 hours of sunlight a day, a supplemental light source is needed to obtain maximum growth.
