Hi @aes239 im about to do mine... how did you get yours started? And how do you care for it? Im in Southern Australia, going into the heat of summer... any advice will help me :) thank you

@sukka-lent All you have to do is plant the top (part you'd cut off & throw out anyway) with just a few cm under the soil. It should begin rooting itself & will eventually grow a new plant out from the center of the old one 🙂 We have ours indoors for now, since it's winter here, but you could probably get away with growing it outside 😁

@sukka-lent I think you can also place the top in a glass of water first, to get the roots started, if you'd prefer that 😊

Thankyou for the info. Do i let it calluse over if im putting in soil @aes239 ?

@sukka-lent I didn't with mine & it seems to be fine

Trimmed down all the dried /dead leaves to encourage new growth🍍🍍🍍 #pineapple #gyo #pineapple-propagation

Matt brought this #pineapple top home from work for me, so I can (hopefully) grow a new plant from it 😋 #gyo #pineapple-propagation

Fun!
