🪴 How to Grow Pineapples at Home in 10 Easy Steps
1. Pick a Good Pineapple
Choose a fresh pineapple with green, healthy leaves (the spiky top). Avoid ones with brown, dried-out tops or moldy spots.
2. Twist or Cut Off the Top
Hold the base of the leaves firmly and twist until it comes off. Or cut off the leafy crown, leaving about an inch of fruit attached. Remove excess fruit flesh to avoid rotting.
3. Trim the Bottom Leaves
Gently peel away 1–2 layers of the lower leaves to expose the small brown bumps underneath—those are root buds!
4. Let the Top Dry
Place the crown in a dry, shaded spot for 2–3 days. This helps the cut end heal and prevents rotting when planted.
5. Root in Water (Optional but Helpful)
Place the dried crown in a glass of water, just enough to cover the root area (not the leaves). Set it in a sunny window and change the water every couple of days.
Roots will start to appear in about 1–2 weeks!
6. Pot It Up
Once roots are 2–3 inches long, plant the pineapple crown in a small pot with well-draining soil. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent soggy roots.
