Re: I must have the worlds only pineapple top that won't sprout
If you removed all the excess fruit and peeled some of the bottom leaves off, skip putting it in water, and plant it in some fast draining soil ( seed starting, cactus mix, etc.). Place in full sun, water about once a week, and after you see some new growth, begin to fertilize with a diluted mixture, about 25 to 40 % of full strength once a month. Miracle Grow will work just fine, but don't overdo the fertilizer while in small pots, they are sensitive to excessive salt build up. Fish emulsion, kelp , or compost tea would be better if you have some, or alternate both. They like the sun, heat, and ample amounts of nitrogen, and potassium.
