Pineapple, it’s drought-tolerant… not picky about soil… and it likes sun or shade. Water heart cone with dilute feed, and allow to overflow into leaf pockets. They love containers, just bring them indoors when the temperatures get down to freezing, where they will liven up your home. It is a perennial plant, so you can enjoy its colourful beauty year after year. From the heart of the plant arises a slender whorl of up to 200 purple-red blooms. As the flowers fade, they set berries which then combine to produce a luscious pineapple. The growth stages are fascinating to watch. Plant in groups of three, for a stunning effect.
To grow from tops;- allow to dry in sun for one week, any remaining flesh should dry-up and easily be removed. Stand up-right in pot of soil, fill roset with water, place in sunny location. Side shoots on mother plant should be removed and placed in separate pots for best results.
