@drea0508 hi, I started this plant from a regular pineapple topper bought at the store , it took a little less than 3 years for it to develop a fruit, it takes less time when is planted in The ground or when the plant comes from a mother plant.
@LSeastrom1219 honestly I didn't do much just give it plenty of sun and enough water in the hot season, don't water often during cold weather ,it would do best in ground but mine is in a 20gl pot and it did just fine ,if you want to use fertilizer opt for organic compost ,good luck with your pineapples 😊
@naturelover2188 I was expecting 5-10 years, I better get started... where to find a 20 gallon container... Wonder if I could grow a tropical paradise out of a garbage can!?
@570upcycle I got this one from my local nursery but I'm sure the trash can would work just fine, in this case the bigger container the better for your plant🌱
On the very bottom of the fruit there is another pineapple plant starting. When you cut the fruit off of this mother plant make sure you also plant that little one.
Eventually it will be another pineapple fruit but it will take a couple of years first. The good news is this offshoot will produce a standard size fruit where the fruit you're growing now is smaller than the original one from which you got your top to start the plant, @naturelover2188 . Here in Southwest Florida I have to cut the fruits earlier than I would like to because too many things like to eat pineapple.
Raccoons, squirrels, rats, and rabbits all will eat pineapple @naturelover2188. Even birds will peck at it. If I've waited 2 years to get a pineapple fruit then I better be the one to be eating it, not the wild animals! Hahaha

There's nothing better than homegrown crops 😍
Wow that's pretty cool. How old is your plant? @naturelover2188
How long did it take you to grow this? This is pretty awesome I must say!!!
@naturelover2188
Looks wonderful!
@570upcycle my plant is 3 years old
