How to Grow and Care for Pineapple

Pineapple, also known as Ananas, Piña, Ananas

Pineapple thrives in bright, direct light and requires a warm environment to grow effectively. It is crucial to maintain consistently moist soil without overwatering, as pineapple is susceptible to root rot. Special care points include providing a high-potassium fertilizer during the growing season to support fruit development and ensuring high humidity levels to mimic its natural tropical habitat.

Pineapple features a distinctive rosette of sword-shaped leaves with needle-like tips, which may grow up to 30 inches (76 cm) long and 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. The waxy leaves, often with a reddish or bronze hue, culminate in a rigid, fibrous core that supports a large, compound fruit. This fruit, characterized by its tough, hexagonal-patterned skin, can reach up to 12 inches (30 cm) in length and 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. Atop the fruit, a compact cluster of green, leafy bracts form a ‘crown’.
