Ways to Regrow Pineapple
1. Growing Pineapple in a Mason Jar
It’s easy to produce pineapple in a glass of water or mason jar; the process is easy. All you need is a:
- Pineapple stem
- Standard mason jar
- Water
Direction:
- Fill the mason jar with water at room temperature and put the pineapple top (without leaf) exterior in the water.
- Do not allow the leafy top to soak in water.
- Change the water every two days; within four weeks, the roots will grow.
Transplanting the pineapple in a pot:
When up to three inches of roots emerge from the base of the pineapple top, then it’s time to repot it. For this, take a medium-sized container and fill it with potting mix that contains gravel, sand, perlite, and volcanic rock; keep the new plant away from the direct sun though it needs full sun to produce fruits. In just two months, new leaf growth develops from the middle of the plant.
Note: Regrowing pineapple takes up to two years.
2. Regrow Pineapple from the Top
Regrowing pineapple from its crown is quite simple: remove the stem from the ripening pineapple. Cut the top carefully or twist it; the bottom leaves will separate from the pineapple head when you perform a twisting gesture.**
- Take a fresh pineapple as ripe root fruit takes a long time to root; you can do this process either in water or soil. Both methods begin with the same steps.
- Lift the top, wear gloves and twist the top where it attaches to the fruit, hold the fronds, move the fruit back and forth to loosen the top until it separates.
- Take a sharp, clean knife and cut the base of fronds to level it, remove some bottom layers of leaves.
- Fill a glass or jar with water, and place the pineapple on top to cover the bottom yellow part. Make sure the green fronds stay above the water to prevent rot.
- In 2-3 weeks, the root will emerge; you can plant at this stage in a pot.
3. Planting in Soil
You can directly root the pineapple top in soil or pot it in soil when it has firm roots. Take a 10-12 inch pot and fill it with well-draining, rich soil or cactus mix. Plant the pineapple top in the soil up to the base. Place the container where it receives six or more hours of bright, indirect sunlight. Keep the soil moist but not soggy for 6-8 weeks till roots form. Opt for misting the soil surface so the plant won’t rot.
Note: When pineapple grows large, move it to large pots up to 3-7 gallons.
