Great information, now I understand the cycle. I live in So.Calif and have been growing a pineapple in a container for two years and This summer I finally have a flower developing. I guess it will be a winter fruit. I have some suckers/slips that I will remove and replant. Again thanks a lot.
Very informative especially the part on how to treat and plant the suckers and slips part that no other tutorials explain! My huge thanks to you!
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
Great video! When you say wait a bit for the pineapple start to dry out is a little bit like 3 days or 3 weeks?
Ver informative... thanks mate
thanks and cool
Trying to get Pineapple tops to root for the first time. Seen so many videos on how “easy” it is to grow from a top. However, not having the best luck so far. They seem to keep dying off before more roots produce. Just can’t figure it out 🤷♂️
Hi, I’m not sure where you’re located. Have you let them dry out for a couple of weeks, and then plant them into moist (not wet) soil? Make sure you don’t overwater them, they maybe rotting.
Hope this helps, thanks for the feedback.
@@aBitGreenerFarmsif the leaves turn brown after those weeks of drying, it still has potential to grow?
So long as there is still a little green color, then it should be ok
I try to let them ripen on the plant as long as possible, sometimes they're very sweet, sometimes not. Any trick to have them consistently sweet? If I want a force bloom I just use a small handful of Epsom salt. Growing them in Florida....I got a mix of store bought pineapples and Maui Gold that I got from Maui 4 years ago.
It appears as though the sweetness is directly related to the time of the year that its fruiting (ideally summer), and the ripeness when picked; at least in our climate.
The plant stock may have something to do with the flavour as well, but to be honest, we never have had the opportunity to be able to select different varieties.
Thanks for the feedback… epsom salts… will have to do a test to see what happens! Cheers.
Any difference between the Maui gold and store pineapple? I just started some plants last November here in central FL in pots. Four store pineapple and eight hilo white pineapple. Are you growing in pots or ground?
@bringit3164
Maui gold is low acid high sugar. Sometimes I have store bought pineapples better than Maui gold. I planted most in pots some in the ground. Just to be on the safe side just in case of a freeze in Central Fl
How do you apply the Epsom salt?
@barringtonwoodburn3995 you can sprinkle it dry around the base, or mix it with water and water it.
Do returns creater more returns or does it only happen once?
They will keep producing every year, however the fruit will get smaller each year.
How do you Force them to fruit?
Hi John, we used Ethrel to ripen/mature the fruit so that the crop could be picked all at once. From memory, we sprayed Ethrel to induce the flowering so the the entire crop starts to fruit at the same time.
I believe that farmers also use Ethrel to ripen Bananas and Mangos.
Hence you’re able to ripen other fruit by putting it in a paper bag with a Banana, because it could still be gassing off a small amount of Ethrel.
Hope this helps. Cheers.
Hi i have been growing my pineapple for about fifteen months and my next door neighbour has sprayed. Them with some thing they are not dead yet i am trying to save them i have given them some dianamic lifter is there anything else i can do to try and save them some pups have come up in one pot but are still very small is it best to let them get a bit bigger before taking them o please help if you can 😢
Wow, pineapples are pretty hardy plants, but if they are dying because of some spray then it sounds pretty serious. You can try to remove any suckers before they become effected from the spray to replant as new stock.
Thank you I hope I can help them it is a lot of fun growing them will see how it goes 😊
Could you help me with something? I've tried rooting the tops in water many times and 98% of the time the top has immediately just rotted. I've only gotten 2 to root successfully.
Just let the top dry out for 2 weeks after you take it off the pineapple. Then just plant the top into the ground, and it will form roots into the soil.
The water trick to get it to form roots is not required.
How far apart are they spaced?
About 25cm, or 10 inches. Doesn’t have to be exact, as the plant will grow different sizes depending on the pineapple variety. Have a great day!
pineapples on pizza, he said it! Let the debate begin. My vote is they definitely belong on 🍕
Nope
Not in this lifetime 😅
So how do you protect them from rats or opossums?
That’s always a problem, we just plant more, assuming that the possums will get some.
At 9:00: that is not an opossum...
What about that diamondback rattlesnake 🐍 under that pineapple 🍍 plant!
At what time mark, I have not seen it, nor he as he is there in person, so what;s the time mark so we can see it
Interesting….we don’t have that snake in Australia. We do have eastern brown and death adders in Australia though!
@@aBitGreenerFarms Well you do now!
@@marcellasmith8942 I don’t remember the time mark!
Hello, what are the fertilizer you use to get a big pineapple?
