Here is a picture of my pineapple plant. I took the top off a pinapple and put it in water. After a couple of weeks a couple little roots grew so I put it in a pot.
When you buy a pinapple in the store, the top is tight and the leaves are all pointing up. When I put it in the soil it relaxed and spread its leaves within half an hour. Because a lot of the bottom leaves were dead, i trimmed them off. Now I have a wonderful plant. I don't know if it will ever bear fruit but it is still neat to have around.
I have had it for about six months now. If you look closely at one of the middle leaves, you can see the change in colour. That is how much it has grown since I planted it.
I just thought that I would share this with everyone. I am not very good with plants and our main window in our house is facing NW so in the Summer we only get about three or four hours of sunlight in the afternoon. It is just a fun project and is easy, so anyone can do it if I can.
About ten years ago I took and orange seed and put it in water. It ended up growing into a three foot tree in our house. I think the lack of sunlight killed it though because it died last year. I tried everything I could to save it but my efforts were of no avail.
