This is a pic of the window it has lived in for the last 5 years. I’d say it’s about 30 inches wide. My friend has one that is a decent amount larger but he has had it outside in the summer and in a larger pot. Mine has been confined to a smaller pot and treated like a succulent because I just assumed that it would grow the same way for whatever reason by being root bound and stressed a little with infrequent watering.
You’re welcome! For anyone else interested in the story about this pineapple adventure, check my previous posts.
I haven’t cut into it just yet because of a complicated situation with my diabetes but I figured all that out and I will probably have it for breakfast in the morning and then I will update this comment.
Edit: I couldn’t wait, it tasted delicious af!
Yes! I originally cut the top off of a store bought pineapple and planted it and then after many years it grew a new pineapple fruit. The new pineapple is much smaller but the head on this baby is pretty large and healthy.
I hope I can keep the cycle going with this pineapple lineage for many generations to come.
Yes it has been in a north east facing window the whole time. I don’t think my apartment was quite warm enough for the plant to flower for a long time so it took longer than it should have but this year I got lucky I guess.
Well I originally propagated the plant from a store bought pineapple almost 5 years ago and it finally began to flower about 4 months ago. Check out my other posts on this sub I think this is the 4th post I’ve made since I first noticed It was starting to flower
I feel like pineapple quality should be the term used to describe ultra high quality pics now like the opposite of potato quality because they are such an impressive thing. I’m going to start describing really nice high quality photos as pineapple quality from now on haha
So far doesn’t smell like anything really or at least I haven’t noticed.
Probably my leggy ass jade. I got this thing as a pup in probably 2005 or 2006 and it has somehow survived a ton of BS. The pups that this thing has produced have all been much more successful than this one but I still love this thing.
This is the first pic that I have of the plant that I took presumably because it was when it was actually showing growth. I’m guessing that this was a few months after I originally jammed it in this weird rectangle pot. This was from September 2020 so I probably bought the original pineapple sometime around the original covid lockdown. I guess it is closer to 4 years and a couple months old actually. I have only repotted it once since then and it has only ever been in that window.
Let me know if you guys Want to see more I have tons of pics and eventually I plan to make a time lapse gif of the whole journey
Bonus daytime photo
Thank you! I was very excited to be able to successfully grow a pineapple plant indoors in a window that faces northeast. I wish I had a house with the ability to grow things in ideal conditions so being able to succeed with limited resources makes me very happy.
