Edible Indoor Pineapple Plant – Ananas Comosus.

This novelty indoor plant is perfect for providing you everyday interest because you can watch your own deliciously sweet pineapple develop on top. Perfect for placing in a sunny conservatory or on your kitchen windowsill. It will require very little care and attention. This is the same plant used in commercial pineapple plantations, so do not confuse these big specimens with a tiny decorative, non-edible plant. For best results water the compost, keeping it moist and keep a little water in the cups of the leaf rosette. Supplied with a pineapple fruit already growing so your plant is guaranteed to fruit this year.

Top Tips

As your plant matures, it may begin sending offshoots from the base. These can be carefully removed and potted up individually.

Care Guide

• Pineapples prefer full sun, so give them plenty of light.
• Water your plant regularly and don’t allow it to dry out. Being tropical, pineapples will not grow in cooler, drier weather, although never allow them to sit in water. Your pineapple should be watered from the top like other bromeliads.
• Feed with a weak (1/4 strength) liquid fertilizer throughout the growing season.
