Pineapple Live Plant

Pineapple plants can be easily grown just by planting the pineapple tops in soil. The pineapple top grows into a bushy plant. If you get growing conditions right, the pineapple plant flowers and a pineapple fruit eventually appears. Pineapples can grow in pots indoors, or if you live in warmer climates it can grow outdoors in your garden.

Light

Pineapples prefer full sun, so give them plenty of light—at least six to eight hours a day. When choosing where to place your pineapple in your home, opt for a sunny windowsill that boasts plenty of direct rays. If you don't have a spot in your home that has enough bright light, consider investing in an artificial grow light to supplement.

Soil

Pineapples should be planted in moist but well-drained soil. Any traditional potting mixture works just fine, but there's a chance you may also be able to find a bromeliad-specific soil blend. It's helpful if the soil is slightly acidic in nature, but overall they can thrive in an environment that boasts a neutral pH level too.

Water

Water your pineapple plant profusely throughout its life. As with most bromeliads, you should never allow your pineapple to sit in water, and always water it from the top down. Pineapples will grow slower if they're not receiving enough water, but are generally more tolerant of being under-watered rather than over-watered.
