Default Pineapples- next years crop
I potted up some pineapple pups, slips, crowns for next year today. I pulled up one plant and found these tiny little pups growing under ground. I pulled em off and planted em , we'll see what happens!
Here's a few pictures

An excellent find!

I also like how your pots are mounted sideways on the stone wall.

Have you ever tried Kelp Extract on your pineapples? I have been misting the leafs of mine ever 10 - 14 days.

Default Re: Pineapples- next years crop
I have been expecting a pineapple to flower anytime and I know I looked at least a couple days ago--but today it was quite obvious the bloom is on the way


This is the same plant from the side.

I also have another one that I think will be showing in a day or 2.

Ya, I've been experimenting with a few different things! So far, worm tea, kelp extract, fish emulsion, liquid humus, and some stuff a friend has been experimenting with. I'll let ya know what seems to do the best.

I've also started planting them in high mineral content beds, with added soil microbes, and such.

The original top I started with was a Dole. I twisted the top off, and then picked the bottom inch or so of leaves off the stalk--I let that dry for about 10 days. I then planted it in a large pot of composted cow manure. About 18 months later I had the first bloom--when the pineapple was ripe (it was very sweet) it sent out 4 pups--those are now starting to bloom---2 have already bloomed and I think the other 2 will within a month.
