My grandma used one leftover pineapple head to grow three big pineapples. The neighbors were so envious!

Pineapple Planting Steps

1. Choose the right pineapple

If you want to grow pineapples using pineapple heads, you must choose strong pineapples. When selecting, gently pull the leaves. If they are firm and not easy to pull out, and there are no insect holes on the leaves, and the pineapple is not dark green, then it can be used.

2. Cut off the leaves and trim

After you buy the pineapple, cut off the leaves and clean the flesh on the leaves. Then break off the leaves at the bottom of the leaves to reveal the white rhizome. Then place it in a cool and ventilated place for 1-2 days to allow the wound to dry.

3. Hydroponic pineapple head

Prepare a clean container, a plastic bottle or a teacup will do. Hang the pineapple head in the air at the mouth of the bottle. If the mouth of the bottle is too big, poke a few toothpicks and place the pineapple head on the mouth of the bottle. Add water into the bottle until the water level reaches about half of the pineapple head.

4. Hydroponic rooting

Change the water once a day to increase the amount of oxygen in the water and promote rooting. Place it on the windowsill for 3-4 hours when there is sunshine, and place it in a place with good scattered light for the rest of the time. In about 15020 days, the hydroponic pineapple head will take root!

5. Transplanting to pots

When the roots of the hydroponic pineapple grow to more than 10cm, you can prepare it for potting! Prepare loose and breathable soil, and transplant the rooted pineapple head into the flowerpot.

6. Daily maintenance

After transplanting the pineapple into a pot, place it in a cool and ventilated place for about a week, then move it to a place with sufficient light for continued maintenance. Water it when the soil in the pot is dry, and bury a few grains of compound fertilizer in the pot once a month.

7. Results after 3 years

Generally, it takes about 3 years for pineapples grown at home to bear fruit. If you want to eat delicious pineapples, remember to be patient!

Pineapple peel compost

Pick the big pineapple you grew yourself and try it. Doesn’t it taste sweeter?

So what to do with the leftover pineapple peel? Don't throw it away, keep it and use it as fertilizer!

Steps:

1. Prepare the remaining pineapple peel, rice washing water and brown sugar, and then prepare a clean large plastic bucket.

2. Put the pineapple peel, brown sugar and rice washing water in a plastic bucket, seal it, and place it in the sun to ferment. Open the lid to let it air out after about 3-5 days.

3. The temperature is high in spring and summer. If you place the pineapple peel under the sun, it will only take about a month for it to be completely fermented.

4. Mix pineapple peel and clean water in a ratio of 1:50 to make a solution, and use it directly on roses, bougainvilleas and other flowers in your home. Because the fermented pineapple peel is rich in phosphorus and potassium, it can make more flowers in your home bloom!
