So I just read a couple months ago that you can reuse a pineapple top to grow a pineapple plant. I’m attempting to do this myself at home and I started rooting it in water on May 9th. It’s looking ready to be transferred to soil in a pot. I’ve got the clay pot, I have soil, I bought a pH tester for water and soil to make sure the pH levels are on point. How often should I be watering starting out and also when should I be fertilizing? I’m growing indoors with a grow light in a controlled temperature climate.
Any steps I can take or missed that I should do, tell me what’s up.
Update 6/17/2026:
I potted the rooted pineapple crown in soil. I’ll keep posting more updates here as I patiently wait for my plant to grow me a fruit.
Watering frequency depends on your environment. You want to keep the soil relatively moist. Fertilizer about every month but you can get away without if your soil is otherwise ok.
