How do I grow pineapple properly from the crown? Do we strip the leaves until we see fresh roots?
Growing pineapple from the crown is an easy and rewarding experience. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Choose a ripe pineapple: Look for a pineapple with a green, healthy crown and no signs of bruising or rot.
- Cut the crown: Use a sharp knife to cut the crown off the pineapple, leaving about 1-2 inches of fruit attached.
- Prepare the crown: Remove any excess fruit from the base of the crown and trim any damaged leaves.
- Remove lower leaves: Strip away the lower leaves from the base of the crown to expose the stem.
- Root the crown: Dip the stem of the crown in rooting hormone and plant it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
- Provide sunlight: Place the pineapple crown in a sunny location and keep it warm.
Do you strip the leaves until you see fresh roots?
It's not necessary to strip all the leaves until you see fresh roots. Removing the lower leaves is sufficient to expose the stem for rooting.
