Four step

After about two months, the pineapple should be at the bottom of itself as a new plant. Quietly tug on the plant to see if new roots have fashioned. If they are in attendance, they will refuse to go along with your tug. If absent, the top of the pineapple will pull from the soil informative the absence of new roots. If there are no new roots, reinstate the pineapple top in the soil and wait longer. If the base looks like it is rotting, start again with a new pineapple top, root it again as above and then use fresh potting soil. Repeat the development, but be sure not to over water. At this point you should notice that the novel leaves of the pineapple will begin to die and turn coffee, with new leaves beginning to grow at the center. Over the course of the following year, remove the unique trees as they die. During this time the pineapple should be watered no more than once a week. If roots have developed with the new leaf expansion, it is a sign that things are going well. After one full year of increase, report the plant. Below you can see these two plants one year later. Three coaching I've learned: 1) don't give up on your plant even when things are looking grim (the pictures on the right are of one of the plants that had rotted in the center; you can see two brand new sprouts that formed alongside the original plant.)I was about to toss it when I noticed the first sprout). 2) my plants ingrained indoors, however real growth didn't begin until I took them outside in the spring. With the next growing season they'll be reported as instructed below. 3) Grow two crowns as one will likely not be as muscular as the other. Then you can report the healthier one. You may also notice that I clipped the tips off of the plants as I think I left them outside too long, and the cold turned their tips brunette.
