- Can you grow four pineapples from one crown?
Growing Pineapples at home can be rewarding but is rather time consuming. So we test the internet hack of growing four pineapples from one store bought (or home grown) pineapple crown. Derica is dubious as her knowledge of how the pineapple plant grows doesn't jive with this far too easy concept. Make sure you watch until the end to find out if this hack is truly a success or not!

Oh wow! Talk about a surprise ending! Patience paid off.
It sure did!
This was a fun video to watch, thank you 😁
I've been growing pineapples for about ten years now and I have a least fifteen (+) nice plants now, producing great pineapples.
I've never tried deviding the crown and in fact have been told that yes you can develop more pineapples but they won't produce as quickly as full crowns do and the possibility of failure is greatly increased when you cut into the stalks. The fruit could take as long as three years.
I've also been told that it takes approximately three years to get a pineapple from a crown but That's not actually true. My experience with my "little" pineapple garden has shown that the variety of pineapple does make a difference and I've been replanting the pups and they seem to take forever but The fastest turnaround seems to be the crown straight into water fortified with One percent hydrogen peroxide or root stimulator. The root growth is fast and when transplanted, the pineapple production is about one year. I've been getting this result consistently. I've noticed that I get multiple pups from each plant and I remove them as soon as I see them and start them the same as a crown. A lot of energy will be taken away from the main plant if you leave the pup on. I've also been told that the plant will only produce two pineapples and then die. Most do but I've gotten three from a couple of them.
As for my soil, I have been using an equal amount of mulch at the bottom, and sand and compost mix on top. The pineapple plant seems to love this and the growth rate and fruit production is pretty quick compared to potting soil or garden soil. Also, all of them are in direct sunlight. I can't stress enough about this. I've tried growing them in multiple areas and only the ones in direct sunlight seem to do best and, you can start them in a pot but if you intend to leave them in a pot, you need a very large pot for them to do good. I only start them in a cup of water to start the roots and put them in a pot if I'm giving them to my neighbors and I always tell them to put them in the ground with good drainage and in full sun as soon as possible.
I love pineapple plants, they're mostly maintenance free.👍❤️
Amazing how your patience paid off. I’m envious of your growing ability in Florida, here in the San Francisco east bay I think it is a bit cold. I remember my mother trying to start pineapple and avocados from produce from the grocery❤
I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t grow pineapples in San Francisco. A quick search suggests you have the perfect climate to grow pineapples year round. That said, if you are in an area that gets frost you can grow pineapples in containers and bring them inside during winter.
This year I succeeded to grow an Avocado tree from seed. Take a plastic cup put some soil inside put the avocado seed in the right direction and set this plastic cup with the seed in another container where you can pour water inside and set everything on a heater of your apartment or house. Don’t let the water in the big container dry out and after about 2 months or more the seed will sprout. I try now to sprout a second seed. Do not forget to make bottom holes in the first container to keep the seed warm and moist.
My SO loves bromeliads. He’s always sad when one dies, and the decorative ones we can get here often die once the flower is done doing its thing. Even my grandmother who had a very green thumb couldn’t keep them going.
I think next time I buy a fresh pineapple I’m going to give the top a go. I won’t cut ut up to stack the odds in my favour, but I definitely like the idea of surprising him with a pineapple plant. Outdoor in Summer and back indoor in winter. If it grows a small pineapple, so much the better! If not, he’ll still have a plant he likes the look of. 😊
Sounds like a great idea! I hope they enjoy the surprise!
I love pineapple. I used to cook it down with simple syrup and put over ice cream. Age now dictates I can no longer afford the caloric intake that goes with that. Ah well, memories shared may inspire someone.
Great to see you got a reward for your effort. Jacksonville got too much frost to try it outdoors and my small apartment and work schedule precluded bringing them indoors.
Ahh yes, I too have fond memories of that deliciously sweet pineapple topping for ice cream. 😋. Sorry space and temperature limit your ability to grow pineapple.
@@PlantLifeYT Thanks, but that was many years ago and I am on the West Coast of nowhere these days. Klamath Falls is so far from everything that the Canadian Geese carry maps and GPS to find their way.
But keep doing the Gardening thing, it does me good to see what all you can grow there in the St. Pete area. If I had one wish for you and Bri, it would be that you could get a house with about five acres of land to let you Garden till you were happy.
So many things you could grow:
Peanuts, grapes, sugar cane, Mustard Greens, Turnips, Collards, Peas, more peas and more Peas. Pole beans, Fresh Corn, Hard Corn, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Yellow Squash, Peppers (Datil Peppers are so good!) and the list goes on for about two days, but I know you understand.
❤
Oh wow! I’m so glad that paid off in the end!
It sure did! Thank you for suggesting this test! 🤓
@@PlantLifeYT I’m glad I did. I had completely forgotten about it until this morning. It was funny timing too, I was taking a break while installing fiber for a customer who happened to be talking about gardening with me while she was planting flowers in her garden. Had to show her your video. I think she might have even subscribed to your channel.
I wonder, if you left the quartered pieces to dry for a short time before putting them in water or dirt if that might help keep rot from setting in initially. I remember someone recommending doing that for cuttings, but I don’t remember what plant it was. I think they said like 6 or 12 hours. Supposedly it gives time for the plant to seal off the wound and prepare its immune system to combat mold.
Yep! Someone else mentioned letting them dry a bit and I think that might be a good idea. Thanks for sharing my content! 🥰
Not gonna lie, I was a bit concerned when I saw the knife. 😉😄
Lol! So was Bri! 😂
I already have 27 pineapple plants but now I want to run out and buy a pineapple so I can try this. 😂
Can you really have enough pineapple plants? 😉
I wonder if you should let the cut "heal" a few hours, before potting as with multiple potatoes form one seed
I was thinking that very same thing. Perhaps that would limit the inner soft tissue from deteriorating so badly. 🤓
That was a surprise!
Indeed!
I tried this too many years ago and I failed with a full head.😢
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I hope you try again someday. 💚
