Pineapples: anyone tried growing one ?
« on: September 18, 2009, 08:34 »
Stuck the top of one in a pot, and it seems to have got off to a good start (about 7 - 8 inches high now).  What do I do next.  Not hoping for fruit  :nowink: but just for the fun of it.

Yeah, I tried it years and years ago and it did quite well, though I think we gave it away in the end.

Tried again with the kids a couple of months back and it just shrivelled and died...  :(
