I have to add that I am an old gardener, in age and gardening years, and have learned a lot in just 2 videos.
wow I never know I could do it like that I learn some thing new thank for sharing god bless you
I harvest about 20 pineapples a year from my home garden. All of the information in this video is accurate and very thorough. It matches up with the mistakes and successes I had over the years. I especially liked the part about letting the crown cure so it doesn't rot and being careful to not get dirt down inside the crown.
Thank you for the nice compliments. We try to be as thorough as possible in all our videos. We're glad that you enjoyed this one. Happy gardening.
Can you put the 4 sections in water to root first
@@leemandy2548 Yes, you can root the pineapple sections after cutting before you plant them or you can section already rooted crown before planting. I'm yet to see any clear advantage of the rooted crown sections over the non-rooted sections.

We’re they sweet??
Thanks. I have been growing my own pineapple here in Costa Rica for years, from a single crown. I did not realize you could also section the crown.
My pleasure. Thanks for your support.
A good technique. Will practice this method in my farm. From Kenya.
Very nice. I have been growing pineapples from the crowns for years, but have never heard that you could split the crowns to get more plants. Thank you for this tip.
Glad to know you found it useful. Always. Happy gardening.
If you could only get one offspring from a plant then they would've gone extinct. All plants can multiply into more than one offspring
Thank you so much for this video. I have 7 baby pineapple plants from 1 crown so far! This is an amazingly effective technique!!
Glad to know that it worked for you. Cheers.
I expected the same method every other gardening channel is just copy pasting, but yours was truly unique, thank you.
Thanks for the nice compliments. We try to be as unique as possible in all our videos. We're glad that you like this one. Happy gardening.
This guy grows..... And is able to teach. Time well spent.😊
I had no idea about this method while I've been planting my crowns for years. Thank-you sir 😊
My pleasure
I've been growing pineapple for quite a while and never knew you could split the crowns. Thank you for sharing this.
It's a pleasure. Happy gardening.
How long does it generally take you to grow from start to finish with a full crown
Wow. That is awesome. Thank you for info.

@@hammad3180 thank you
I liked and subscribed earlier with the onion root scrap planting.. I love the fact that you are teaching us to get as much as possible from scraps that are usually thrown away, without fancy gadgets, containers, store-bought soil, fertilizers, and tools. Just everyday stuff that you already have or can find for free, and using food that usually grows only one fruit or vegetable, but we get multiple plants from it. I am a firm believer in 'knowledge is power'. If even a new gardener can't do this, they are not trying hard enuff. Ironically, I am watching this on New Years Eve and Auld Lang Syne sounded perfect! Thank you for the calm voice and easy to understand instructions.
You said everything I needed to be said, THANK YOU, He really does have a fabulous channel & one amazing calming detailed voice.

@@Lozyloza1 UPDATE: My onion root plantings were a total success. I grew real onions for the first time. Purple and yellow onions. And I grew multiple onions from scrap onion by dividing the sprouts carefully.
That’s such an interesting way of diving the pineapple crown to produce more pineapples!! O have just been propagating the whole crown.
I’ve just started to grow pineapples from the crown.
This video is absolutely timely.
I will most certainly follow your guidance.
Thanks mate
Glad it was helpful! You're most welcome.
We’ll I learned a lot from this video I appreciate it. I wanted 4 pineapple plants and bought 4 whole Pineapples from the store 2 months ago. They are growing well.
Didn’t know I could’ve had 16 plants until I seen this video.
Thanks. I'm glad you got something from it. You can try it when next you buy a pineapple.

you are a genius. you should get an award for that method. thank you.
Will try it
I love you. You've given precise instructions. Please keep the videos coming bc you know the rulers are planning famine everywhere
Good stuff. I just did the quad planting method a month ago. I didn't see much result. I began pulling the plants out of the soil and behold, only one of them began to take root! I gave it a bigger pot with fresh soil and water. I'm excited to see this thing take off.
Good to know you've had some success. Happy gardening!
You're the first to teach and show me to split them awesome thank you so much blessings. Now I can multiply my fruits.
You are so welcome!
This works I cut the crown in half and just stuck it in a flower bed they both successfully grew I now have two pineapple plants so much fun to see them grow the old leaves moved to the side as new crown formed
Glad to know that it worked for you. Next time you can try cutting it into 4 to get more pineapples. Happy gardening!
My mama always planted the whole crowns! I learned something new today! Thank You so much! I will definitely be trying this method!
My pleasure. I'm glad you've learned something. All the best and thanks as well.
Nothing wrong with that
Supercharging propagation by pushing the limits. Totally dig it! Thank you for sharing!
Always a pleasure. Thanks as well.
Yea you've got to " dig it" the soil to plant it 🤣
Best video I found right before starting my pineapple crown
Excellent video. Appreciate you taking the time to post it. Going to try multiples like you did.
Thanks for your kind comments and support. Happy gardening.
Good work donee ✔️
Thanks, Cynthia.
Dr, Did this experiment in Tamilnadu, India and found it is fantastically working. Thanks for your time and efforts....Nature Almighty bless you always.
Great to hear of another success story. It make me happy. I'm always glad to share. Happy gardening!
A TRUE and EXCELLENT formula of PROPAGATING PINEAPPLE CROWNS. I am a pineapple Farmer on the Slopes of My. KENYA 🇰🇪❗➖ 15. 1. 2023.

wow thank u for sharing sir
You are most welcome
Great video. You can tell there's a lot of experience behind it.
Thanks for acknowledging that. I've done this several times.
Way to go! I'm certainly gonna try this! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure. Thanks for supporting.
Thanks for explaining to remove the bit of fruit at the stem. I def didn’t know that and it always molds. Also to let dry and to remove the centre so it forces it to root faster. Important details!
You're welcome. Thanks for sharing you tips too. I'll give it a try.
Thanks for tips 🙏🙏 watching from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Our pleasure! Welcome, our Indonesian friend.
I just used this on a pineapple a friend brought me from vacation in Hawaii. The center of the crown had been drilled out. So far (4 weeks) two of the sections have started a bud!
Thanks for the great info.
I glad to know that it's working for you. I'm sure the other 2 will start new buds soon. Happy gardening.
@@dr_obisgarden good news
This is excellent! Thanks Doc!
My pleasure.
Great video,easy to follow,step by step explained
Thanks for sharing
Wow amazing idea.
Thank you for that new idea I just pulled the top off stuck it in the ground and it grow amazingly with rain water
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Pineapple is quite easy to grow but this technique can help you get more pineapples from just one crown.
@@dr_obisgarden really like this because if you find a really great tasting pineapple, you can clone it indefinitely!
Amazing technique and you did a pretty good description. Thank you for sharing this video 🙂
Thanks for the compliments, Wasifa.
Thorough and very effective and educative tuitoarial...
Thanks.
Excellent information Dr. Obi
Wonderful! I did mine all wrong! Thank you for this video, I will try again, much love from Montreal,Qc ❤🇨🇦
Always a pleasure. Great to know you're from Montreal. I was there a couple years ago for a conference. It's such a lovely city and I enjoyed every bit of my short stay there. Much love. Happy gardening!
Thanks so much doc. I'll surely try your technique. More power
My pleasure. Best of luck!
Thanks for the great insight. Trying this, right away.
This is cool. Never knew you could split the crowns. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing it
I have about 20 pineapple tops still alive from last year I potted them once I let them grow roots. I’m going to split some of them. I also have 7 in water with roots. I’m thinking about splitting them.
That sounds good. I've used rooted pineapple crowns before and they worked just fine. If the roots are long you should ensure that the holes you make are deep enough to cover the roots and parts of the bottom.
@@dr_obisgarden will the roots not be damage if the crown gets split after the fact?
@@daprazae672
You may damage some, but the remaining roots will take over and more will sprout later the same as it did in this video.
When he split the crown some of the root buds were damaged but that didn’t stop it from growing.
Thanks you so much. Now I have learned the right way to grow pineapple. I will like to share when to pick a watermelon when it is ripe to eat and sweet. When the little pigs tail is gone dry were the stem goes into the watermelon.
You're welcome. Thanks for sharing the watermelon tip too.
Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Azeb! My pleasure.
This gentleman knows his shit. I followed his directions on growing onions from the root section you throw out after cutting it and he was 100% spot on. I also followed his first pineapple video and this one I will definitely give it a try.
Thanks for the kind compliments. Well appreciated. Happy gardening!
Very nicely produced and explained, with no clickbait. Great video, thanks for making. Would pinching out the apical bud, but otherwise leaving the crown intact, also work to get multiple plantlets? Just wondering if this would be better for propagating a unique cultivar more slowly, but with less risk. What kind of failure rate do you get for quarter crowns?
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, you can pinch the apical bud without sectioning the crown, and the buds will sprout. However, due to the size of the crown, this method will result in fewer plantlets at a time. You can increase the success rate by letting the crown grow for some time, before removing the apical bud... This method is indeed really ideal for multiplying unique cultivars... Success rate is usually high. At least 3/4 will grow 1 or more plantlets. If there are fungus problems in your area, you can ensure success by dipping the bottoms of the sections in a fungicide solution... Happy gardening.
@@dr_obisgarden could you possibly make a seperate short video to show this concept
Sure, I'll work on that.
Amazing method of propagating pineapple plant
Sir I have fungal disease problem can I use rooting hormone for this method
Thanks, Azhar! If you have fungal problems, the rooting hormone may not be enough. Fungus can still attack the rooted plant and cause it to die sooner or later. I'll advice you to try and dip the sections in a fungicide solution for about 3 mins before planting. Alternative, if you don't have access to a fungicide, try and sterilize the soil or media using heat before sowing. All the best.
@@dr_obisgarden Thanks Sir I will use fungicide treatment before planting
Great explanation of the entire process. Thank you for sharing.
Best method to grow pineapple
Thanks.
How long does it take to fully mature and harvest? Wonder if I would have enough time in Michigan.
Depending on the variety and where you live, it can take between 1 and half years to 3 years to mature and harvest. I've lived in Michigan before and I know the winters can be chilly which will knock down your pineapple. However, the good news is that pineapples can be grown in pots so you can move the pot indoors when the weather gets cold. I recently posted a video about growing pineapples in pots, you can check it out here: czcams.com/video/LGbHLcQTM-I/video.html . Hope this helps. Happy gardening.
Thank you for sharing your expertise, question; after you make your initial quartered sections, and have removed the apical centers, should I dry-cure them for a couple of days to prevent rot?
No. The cut crown sections/ quarters dry up rather quickly so they may die if left for a few days. Just plant it the same day that you cut it. If you often have rot issues in your area, it you can dip the sections in a fungicide solution before planting.

04:44 ما هذا المحلول في هذه اللقطة ؟!!
NPK 15:15:15 solution at a rate of 5g/L. Hope this helps. Check video description for more.
Gracias por compartir su conocimiento!!!
Gracias!
Thank you!
I've learnt much about growing pineapples from this video.
Glad to know that. Many thanks as well.
This is Great info! Previously I only got 1 pineapple from 1 top and thought it a sad and slow method.
I have one top in water now that started rooting 2 weeks ago. Is it too late to do this now?
Thanks. You can certainly use the already rooted pineapple crown and it would work just fine. Happy gardening.
does it matter if the leaves are browning at the tips?
No. It doesn't matter. So long as most parts of the leaf is green, it'll work. You can trim off the dead/brown portion of the leaf.
This is all new information to me..
Thanks for creating and posting this vid!!
Thank you so much. We’ll be starting ours today
Does it matter what type of sawdust to use for the starter plant quarters? I have pine sawdust available. Enjoying your videos sir!
I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. No it doesn't really matter the type of sawdust.
Just don’t use sawdust from pressure-treated wood. That would be the main thing. Most lumber isn’t pressure-treated. It usually has little appx. 1/2” long indentations going the same direction, along the length of the piece, all over the wood. Looks like the length of an office staple. The average 2x4, 2x6 and plywood is just fine. And of course logs. For those who aren’t sure what’s what. Pressure treated is also usually a darker shade than untreated wood of the same species. It’s not the default wood when you buy dimensional lumber, untreated wood (safe for adding to plant growing material/dirt, no toxic chemicals) is the default.
Also, Walnut sawdust should be avoided.
@@misskim2058 Thank you so much for the valuable bit of information.
@@misskim2058 Isn't the chemicals in the glue used on plywood harmful to humans?
Would this still work without fertiliser?
Yeah, it'll work without the fertilizer but the vigor of the plantlets may be reduced depending on the nutrients available from the mother plant (crown section). If you don't have access to or don't want to use inorganic fertilizer, you can use organic options. If the organic options are liquid, you can follow the same recommendation as what was mentioned in the video. But if they are are solid, you can mix it with the sand and saw dust mixture. You can also use just top or garden soil but there is a high propensity for rot so you'll need to apply fungicide before planting. Happy gardening!
Clear explanation, thanks
Amazing, love it.
From one crown you make 4 plants.
Try it now, love pineapple 🍍 😋 😍
Anybody else notice the tops are dying (drying/shriveling) rather quickly? I have taken the tops off before, and planted them. Some I've just twisted the top off, and stuck it in water (drinking water). some I have cut the top (leaving the top of the pineapple itself) and planted it in dirt. Worked both ways. Now it's like They are doing something (perhaps spaying something to kill the tops) to them. Because, the leaves are drying out, and shriveling before the pineapple is even fully ripe. Also, I noticed there's a white film on the leaves. And NONE of the tops will grow, the just brown and die! I've tried several of them. We eat pineapple (and other fruit) A Lot, and they did not do this last year (summer of 2021, and before). Excuse my language, but, that's Fucked Up, if they are poisoning the tops, so we cannot replant them!!! For starters, we're eating that stuff (even though I always wash the pineapple before carving, but that's Beside The Point!). AND that's pretty shitty to make it to where we can't grow the tops! We need to ALL be calling (or email/facebook/other) the company, and complaining about what is up with our fruit. What about people who may not wash them, and when you carve it, whatever substance that is on the outside, will be transferred to the inside with the knife. Then your eating whatever that stuff is! Don't get me started on the bananas, and mangos, cause something is going on there too!
If the crown still has many leaves on them, you can still grow or multiply them.
@@dr_obisgarden the ones I've been getting around here are not. They will not take root now matter what way it's done. I've done several of them in the past. They always grew. Now they are not! They just shrivel and dry out. Something is different about them now! Idk if it's the particular source of the pineapple, or if it's all of them.
Dave, lay off the koolaid, bruh. To start the bananas have no seeds, because we breed them like that. We're aware that bananas have issues.
Secondly, the areas where pineapples make good money on the market, are mostly areas where the climate won't allow you to harvest fruit anyway.
Also, could it be that perhaps your soil is depleted, you don't feed your plants, and that's why the tops are discolouring? Or are you the type to write your senator because you dropped your coffee and 'the cups never used to slip from your hands"? 🤨
@@davef5208 Do you live in the U.S. like me? If so then for years and years now It's been getting more and more unrealistic and impossible to buy produce from your local grocery store and be able to grow anything that actually yields a crop due to genetic tampering. You've heard the term "heirloom seeds"? Yeah well seeds just used to be called seeds.... I would suggest sourcing any seeds/starters/etc. from somewhere else.
@@davef5208 Look into it. It's horrible what they are doing to our food.
