My First Pineapple

Take any fresh pineapple, twist leaves and place stem in soil.

However, it is recommended that you turn the stem upside down and let it dry for a week. After it has dried, submerge the crown in water until it sprouts. White roots will appear. You can use toothpicks to anchor the stem in water.

First, a red cone appears, followed by a blue flower and then the fruit. It takes about 6 months or longer.

It is wonderful to watch it grow.
