Re: Pineapples

Less than a year. I just cut the top off, pulled off the bottom inch or so of leaves and put it in bromeliad potting soil. I kept it moist until I saw growth, then slacked off a bit :lol: I really need to repot them. One pot has no drainage (which I discovered after putting them outside and after th...

Re: What crafts does everyone do?

That's beautiful, Karma! Is that cross stitch? I used to do that but dont see well enough to do that anymore. Maybe someday I'll get that eye correction surgery!

Pineapples

Just for fun, I started a couple of pineapples from crowns last year. They are growing but I think they need more light than they get in my sunniest room. But it's still pretty cold out! How much Michigan weather can they take? Any tricks to get them to produce?

Re: What crafts does everyone do?

I've tried all the tricks I know, and come up with only that source in Hawaii, also. They are way awesome! If you do get them, be sure to show us the end product :D
