Growing a Pineapple From the Top in 5 Steps

This is something a little different.

With Summer right around the corner that means pineapples are popping up at your grocery stores normally for a good deal too! Have you heard you can grow a pineapple from the top of the one you bought? Yep, it does take some time... 2+ years time but if you enjoy grown fruit and vegetables like I do its worth the wait plus its a pretty plant.

Here is how you do it, with photos to help

Step 1:
 Cut the top off, easy enough.
Step 2:
 Grab the leaves, carefully not yo poke your self and the bottom where you cut it off. Now with a good hold and a little muscle twist. The top should pop right off.
Step 3:
 Pull the leaves off until you see at least 2 rows of roots (See photo below).
Step 4:
 Put in water for 3 days
Step 5:
 Plant, just covering the roots and put where will get sun light 4-6 hours a day. No photo but I'm sure you get it. Do use a medium to large size pot because they get pretty big.

In a few years enjoy a pineapple YOU grew!
