Grow Your Very Own Pineapple Tree!

My husband read something about growing a pineapple tree from the pineapple you buy at the grocery store. So after cutting up and eating our delicious pineapple we decided to give it a shot and see if this really works.


The first step is to cut off your stem and then make sure to cut any pineapple flesh that may be left on it, if you don't it will rot and that would be gross. Make sure you cut down until you can see little specks on the stem. Then cut or peel off the leaves from the bottom of the stem upwards about an inch.

Next you need to leave your pineapple stem to sit for a day or two to allow the roots to repair themselves.


Plant that little guy in some dirt (I need to buy a bigger pot!)

Finally, wait about a year to for a pineapple to grow!




Now I am going to have to do some research into how much water they need and sunlight, but fingers crossed in a year or so we can eat our very own pineapple!


Here is an interesting pineapple fact, did you know that a pineapple is actually a bunch of berries that choose to  live all together?! Crazy!
