https://brainygardener.com/pineapple-...
Summary
If you're looking for an easy-to-care-for houseplant, the Pineapple may be a good option for you. Ananas comosus, or pineapple, is a tropical plant that is native to Brazil and Paraguay.
1. Light and Location
These plants do not grow well in the dark. They need a lot of direct sunlight to remain healthy.
2. Pineapple Watering
Pineapple plants need a lot of water, but you don’t want to let them sit in that water for too long. Maintain good drainage.
3. Temperature
When growing Pineapple indoors, keeping the temperature between 65 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit is vital.
4. Propagating Pineapple
Ananas comosus is usually propagated by planting the crown in moist soil—the top part of the fruit, with small, fleshy leaves.
5. Potting and Repotting Pineapple
When potting, it is essential to keep in mind the specific requirements for growing this fruit as an indoor plant. For one, the soil should be sandy and well-drained. A potting mix high in organic matter is ideal, as it will help retain moisture while also providing good drainage. The pot should also have a drainage hole at the bottom.
6. Common Pests and Problems
The most common pests of this plant are mealybugs. They are small, soft-bodied insects that you can sometimes find on the leaves, stems, or fruit.
