Pineapple leaves are turning blue-gray and won't root
I created a propagation of a pineapple a few days ago, and now its leaves are turning blue-gray and won't root. I noticed the water was a little tinted, but I thought I shouldn't change it yet. Why is it doing this?

@Riverleafwing Hey Leafeong, did you allow the top to dry out before trying to propagate it?

@Riverleafwing the link above suggest one approach but usually it is best to let the pineapple dry out a little. You may just need to be patient as it takes a while to grow roots in any event.
Agreed with @Seymour! In my very limited experience, the top will die back while rooting, and it can take 3 months or so to show new growth once the roots are established. Good luck!
