I bought this pineapple from Walmart for $1.00. I enjoyed that pineapple so much. The top I cut off and put some root growth on the cut end and put it in some dirt, and just look, it has grown so big. I am amazed at how well it took off. Tell me what you think??? I can't wait to eat it😂

In Spanish we have a very common saying: "La tercera es la vencida"

@WorkingitThrough2 I put buy a pineapple on the shopping list 🙂 I read that it can take 2-3 years before they flower and produce fruit. So cool! 😊

@WorkingitThrough2 I'm with you on that lol! Some plants just don't like to be inside or it's just hard to find the right spot for them. Especially in the cooler months when the angle of the sun changes

I got a pineapple! 😁

@WorkingitThrough2 I think it's fairly easy to grow the plant. Getting it to fruit is another thing.

Good luck though. They make a nice house plant.

Hey, look what I found out????

The time it takes for a pineapple plant to grow depends on various factors. On average, it takes about 24 to 36 months for a pineapple plant to grow a mature fruit from the time of planting1. However, the exact duration can vary based on factors such as growing conditions, temperature, soil quality, and the amount of water and sunlight the plant receives1.

If you are growing a pineapple from a seed, it typically takes around 12 months for the fruit to reach full size2. Pineapple plants have a life cycle of about eight months, with the first month being the growth phase when the plant grows new leaves and roots2. The next six months are the growing season when the pineapple plant will grow in size and produce fruit2.

Please note that these are average estimates, and the actual time may vary depending on specific conditions and pineapple varieties.

@WorkingitThrough2 I didn't mean to say it's impossible.

I drove by the pineapple farms on Oahu. The fruit grows at the end of a stalk, it looks like a giant thistle.

The soil there was bright red. I'm not sure what makes it red (iron?), but, the plant might be really soil sensitive. Anyway, best of luck. Like I said, I've known people to keep them as house plants. I don't recall anyone's plant fruiting.

from this source: https://aces.nmsu.edu/ces/yard/1997/112497.html



It is possible, and easy, to grow a pineapple plant indoors. Growing new pineapple fruit is more difficult. To make full-sized pineapples, the plant will ultimately need to get about six feet across and six feet tall. But, you can grow it as an interesting indoor plant and even get it to produce fruit (albeit small fruit) without letting it take over the living room.

You asked what projects I'm working on,

Well, I've been out of work all year. I just got hired to do some software work for a big bank. I'm looking forward to that.

I also have a car that 3 different mechanics have tried to fix and failed. I'm working figuring that out. It's an electrical problem.

Have you found anyone else to work on your car? I am so sorry that no one has been able to find and fix the problem. I know that has to be inconvenient for you.❤️

@WorkingitThrough2 I've had people that tell me they'll take my money but no guarantees.


I'll figure it out.
