Finding light for Pineapple in your home
a window
Pineapple love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Pineapple does not tolerate low-light 🚫.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Pineapple in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Pineapple
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Pineapple after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I have had Sid for about 2 years. Should I plant him or can I continue to grow him in water? Can I cut the bulb in half? Not sure what to do with the roots. The are all tangled up together. #Pineapple

Pineapple stem seems to be completely dried up and leaves yellowing I got this pineapple plant about 3 weeks ago. The stem to the pineapple growing was already really dry and pineapple was squishy. Now leaves off plant are yellowing and drying out and pineapple itself it hard as a rock. Is the pineapple dead now and needs to be cut off or what do I do?? #help #Pineapple #HappyPlants
