PH- 5.5-6.0, full sun, water with soluable ferts. every 3 to 4 wks(miracle grow) poured over the plant, beds were prepared with generous additions of organic ferts. and mulch. All the pineapples get the same treatment, but the Pernambuco's seem to be extremely vigorous. I have begun to prepare more beds for future plantings of other varieties. Hopefuly I'll find more that are just as vigorous, but that seems unlikely. Nothing else has come close !
