what's your secret for growing such juicy looking pineapples? Those are beauts.
How long does it take?
I don't know what to say really. A few years ago I planted tops from store bought pineapples and re-planted them to bigger containers when they got big. The soil I used was the MiracleGro potting soil and didn't do anything else. They produce fruits and send new pups after and next year they produce fruits again. I fertilize them maybe 2-3 times a year, add some soil if needed, trying do not overwater and they are getting a lot off sun. I move them to the garage to overwinter. That's it. This year is not that successful like last one, when I had 18 fruits but I understand that every year is gonna be different.
So, no worries, I am sure next year I will have plenty again.
