It had never occurred to me, but once you cut the top off of a pineapple purchased at the supermarket, it can actually be planted. Last January after a party where I used my trusty Vacu Vin pineapple slicer, I found and followed the super-easy instructions at Rick’s Woodshop Creations.
The step-by-step guide includes lots of photos, so it’s easy to figure out what you’re supposed to do. Surprisingly, the process is pretty idiot-proof and the plant fairly hardy — I had originally just stuck my pineapple top in some dirt (the wrong thing to do) and even though a couple of weeks had gone by, Rick’s instructions got me back on track. Four months later, I have a healthy-looking plant that’s progressing nicely.
