I have put mine in water first with success.. had a pineapple in 1 year .. overwintered in garage .. i live in zone 8b
I have a pineapple plant that’s about a year and half. It recently gave me a baby plant. Looking forward to an actual pineapple, one day!
Do you have to soak the soil and do you keep watering through out the year? How much? Thanks.
