Number of people happen to be growing pineapples this year, here's mine just starting to bloom. This was grown from a cut top from a store bought pineapple, and is about 16 months old in a 30 liter pot. In February, an ethylene treatment was done and the spike began to show about 10 weeks later. Should take about 4 months for the fruit to mature, so right on time for the end of the season. Shame I saw pineapples for $3 the other day, but I'm sure this one will taste just like love. A good sign your pineapple is ready to go, are the pups at the base. If you look closely, it has already stated to split off for the new plants. These can be harvested and grown on, or left on the original roots.
