- Pineapple Tops Are Super Easy To Sprout! In this video revision, I go back to growing pineapples, but using the new method which is vastly superior to the old soil method. Here, we peel away all the leaf layers and place the stem in water for up to a month. Roots begin to form quite quickly, at which point, a new shoot actually starts to grow and the plant is ready for potting!
Watch how I take an existing pineapple, cut the top off, and regrow that top to produce a new, living pineapple plant that you can grow in your home. Super easy and fun to do with kids, give this a try, you won't be disappointed!. Everyone loves pineapples!

I'm on my fourth pineapple top and I finally got a good root system going! It was frustrating and I wanted to give up many times but im so glad I didn't! Don't give up people!
Omg!!! Thanks so much. I’ve tried several times watching other videos and never worked. After doing exactly as described in this video I was able to get my plant grow!! Thanks so much again. Subscribing !!
Great to hear Miguel! :-)
It's strange how I always just assumed that pineapples grew on trees even though I'd never heard of a pineapple tree. So anyway now I know. Thanks for sharing your wisdom
Cheers Eugene, thanks for watching!
Hey, this is fake.
I have a pineapple plant myself, and they do not grow on trees, but those aren’t pineapples
I used to think that when I was young i thought they came from pine trees and pine cones were just pineapples that didn't make it 🤣
@@Idk-fj8is what do you mean " those aren't pineapples " that was definitely a pineapple that he cut the top off 🤔
One of the best gardening tip videos I've watched on this entire app. Thank you bud
I have 3 in the ground now and they are doing well and 2 in jars. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
Thank u for taking the time to show us how to grow a pineapple from store bought. Fantastic job.
Cheers Kaamila! Thanks so much for watching!
This video was SOOOO helpful! I was thinking I could just stick the crown, with that little bit of fruit on the bottom right into soil. I was surprised how much fruit and leaves you actually removed. I knew a video would be much clearer than just written instructions. Thank you for helping me to avoid the pitfalls I would have encountered if I'd planted the crown the way I THOUGHT I was supposed to.
I cannot wait to do this with my babies, thank you. We just got done eating a pineapple and the thought of planting one came to mind ❤❤
WOW...so exciting and satisfying...thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks so much. I had so many questions after the first one I viewed but you covered everything.
I've done this and it works!
It really does! So easy too. My kids thought it was the coolest thing.... Just wait until the plant gives me pineapples in 4 years, lol!
Thank You for the Valuable Tip. God Bless You.
thank you for this great guide to grow a pineapple. nice explained and great fun.
Will definitely try this method! Thanks!
It's sooooo much easier than the video I posted last summer. Just make sure the soaking bulb stays warm... 85F+. These guys are tropical and won't send out roots if kept too cold! You got this! :)
Thank You!🏆 I love the jar measuring🥳
:-) Thanks!
I actually grew some pineapple from seeds. It took a long time but they're doing great! Last fall I started and now they're about the size of a top. Dark green and full.
Very cool!
no such thing as pineapple seeds. proof or they don't exist
@@immeohmyoh yes there is bro. they’re tiny and right under the skin when u cut it open. look it up
Yup..
I also did from seed..
Takes forever to germinate and even longer to get growing.
Wouldn't recommend from seed unless you are crossbreeding
@@stephenremo9200 What I did is put them in water on a heat mat under grow lights in about a few weeks to a month they will sprout in the water. Then transfer to where you're going to plant them.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing!
Thankyou you explain the way in perfect detail
Cheers Dawn, thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing this video!! This was so helpful!
Can we please see an update on the pineapple 🍍 plant? I would love to see what it looks like now.
Sure, it's only a month old, but I'll throw a pic up on my community tab!
Better yet Christina, here's a video of me repotting it into a bigger pot for the winter!: czcams.com/video/Q35ggqBSEcE/video.html
Great learning and fun too !
Never knew you could do this, thanks for the advice
Thanks Billy, and thanks for watching! Happy growing!
This is the best resource on this that I've ever seen, hands down. Have my subscription dude
I'm going to give this a try. I've been able to grow two pineapples by planting the entire cut off top including an inch of the fruit. Most always died and now I know why. Thanks!
Definitely give it a try. This method is just so easy and works nearly every time!
How did it go?
@@jwgmail It's going great! There are two pineapple's this year. Both are growing in pots and are the size of softball right now. I will post a video of them and put a link here when they are ready. About another month until they are store sized! I also planted a few more pineapples. This is absolutely the best way to do by peeling it down, putting it in water, growing roots, then planting it. 100% success so far and two big pineapples on the way in about another 4 weeks.
@@INRI Awesome, looking forward to seeing them! Did you keep them inside the whole time?
@@jwgmail Oct - Mar indoors under a small UV grow light and then outdoors from April until ready end of July. It only gets about 6 hours of direct sun a day. Here it is as of today (July 3rd, 2022) Make sure you use the cut up rotting apple trick to force it to bloom. czcams.com/video/YGm1McR8C4c/video.html
I love this video! I must try this soon.
Thanks so much! Did you give it a try? Once you get them going, they grow quitefast!: czcams.com/video/Q35ggqBSEcE/video.html
I have to do this. I like this way. I have grown a pineapple, I didn't pull the leaves. Thank you 😊👍 God bless 🙏♥️😃
Definitely Terry. It's so easy. And with supplemental heat, the roots just take off like crazy! Cheers
Terry Christ It Does NOT Work remove 5 layers at MAX!
And no shoot will appear watch self sufficient me s Tutorial
Fixing to try this now!
BEST video on this I've watched and I've watched many different ones.
Thanks so much karen, much appreciated!
OMG I love you ❤️........ You're the BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the support Sihamm!! All the best to you!
I loveeee it ❤
Thank you so much!
Very enjoyable video.. Thanks so much 🎉
Cheers, thanks for watching! :-)
Thanks for sharing
Cheers Beverly! Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to try it !
Best of luck Matthew!
This is interesting! I've never seen it done this way. I've only had a pineapple clone live 5-6 months when I tried
This is the way I was talking about before Dave....it works every time, trust me! Just make sure to keep the plant/soil/water at 80-90F during the whole process! How's tricks buddy? Been waiting for your new video to drop!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I just tripled my sprouting space, added lights, etc. A video is brewing ;) Just finished construction / setup this afternoon
@@OakKnobFarm no way! Ok, now I am pumped dude! Hopefully you got several pieces of content out of it. Your stuff is so informative value-added. I'll be sure to check it out!
Love your videos!👍
Thanks Carmen, too kind! Cheers. 🍓🌶🍆🍈🎋🌱🍍
Wow! this is very interesting!
Thanks Michelle!
Just subbed. Watched all those videos and now I’ve seen yours. Wow!!!
I somehow managed to accidentally do everything right up to the leaves! I gotta go and take off more but I’m very excited!
Right on, let us know when you get roots!
Very nice Video! 👍
Thanks
Cheers Der, thanks for watching!
I cant wait to see if my plant gets roots!! I love Maui Gold Handpicked 🍍 🍍 🍍 🍍 🍍 🍍 🍍 🍍 🍍 🍍
Fingers crossed!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarmsdid yours fruit? Any vid
Look if you can pull out one of the leaves. When you can, your top is not viable. Sometimes the sellers sell it with the heart cut out. These are better to avoid due to having a big chance to rot, but they are possibly viable.
0:30 i think the hearth of that top is cut out. That explains why there is coming a little shoot later on. Great video, because he shows how to grow them this way, since there are almost only this kind of tops. Very bad from the farmers. They can't stop us. For the people who have a intact pineapple top: do the same he does, but don't take all the leaves off.
That's awesome n thanks for emailing me back.
Anytime James!
THANK YOU
Thanks for sharing ❤ Subbed 😁
My husband and I bought a pineapple with growing another one in mind. Your video confirmed how I was previously taught how to do this❤ Great content that only make my family more independent 🎉
Fantastic. X
thank you!
Cheers Ricky!
Thank you
Just watch the blades on the living plant once it gets larger. They are often serrated and quite sharp. Like an Aloe vera plant.
But aloe vera has a lot of juice in it. But they are so comparable because for example the existing leaves get longer from the place where it is attached to the plant. Tip: you can see the sanity of the plant by inspecting the leaves. If they are small, the plant is a little bit weaker, but if the new parts of the leaves get bigger, it gets stronger. Leaves generated in the winter are thinner than leaves generated in the summer. By some plants (again including pineapple) you can see it by watching the stem. Bigger parts of the stem are better than thinner parts.
You will never see those blades when using this method
@@Idk-fj8is I did this method and my pineapple has blades on its leaves
Probably because it USED the center leaves
YES! Just got on here to post a warning myself- after learning the hard way lol
Thank you so much for this very educational video. I bought two super delicious pineapples from Hawaii. OMG wer they the absolute BEST ever tasting pineapples. So now I have one potted and one rooting. The warmest place right now is on top of my refrigerator. We've had a very cold winter/spring in Southern California. So my question is this, once it goes to a bigger pot, where can it be placed? And how tall does it grow in the first 8-12 months?
Thanks for the update video as I tried to grow a pinapple from your first video and it died 😭☹️ so I’ve got another pineapple and I hope to see better results this time 😍
Let us know how it turns out Robert!
How'd it go?
Yeah has it grown yet?
Mi did a du dis wrong all these years! Thanks very much!
Man, Thanks for taking the time to help us Gardners...Great Idea I love experiments
Thanks for watching Rodeo! I appreciate the support! Experiments rule!
Cool
Glad I watched the improved video. Is this how they are grown commercially?
Great question! I hope to visit a pineapple plantation this coming winter! They are mostly propagated from runners (like strawberries) and slips (tiny offshoots near the base). I don't think commercially they harvest the tops.
Great presentation on how to grow pineapples. Please explain why to water from below. Do I place holes in the bottom of the pot, or watering,from bottom is just to keep the roots cool.
It takes a few weeks for the roots to start. I used a root starter and changed the water every third day.
Great video! Will try it with my kids by summer. I'm wondering if it will survive indoors during fall and winter. Also, why water it from below and not directly? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, I actually have to bring the plants in during the winter....they are totally tropical and I don't live in a warm area. As for watering, I always water bare soil from below for 2 reasons. 1) the soil can soak up as much as it needs without leeching out the bottom before it can be absorbed fully and 2) watering from above blasts soil everywhere! Not good for a newly potted plant! Happy growing!
I will be growing a pineApple thank you
Awesome! Give it a try, super easy!
Whhhooooh!! Intrigued!!
:-)
I was listening but… might’ve taken a gamble on what was considered ‘ripe but not overripe’ because as I removed leaves, one came off like a toupee… yup, bald!😅 Hoping that quote about a bad haircut applies to pineapples, give it a couple weeks!!
Ha ha let us know how it works out for you!
At any point do i let the stem dry?
Also, how often do i change the water?
Thanks for your detailed descriptions for planting pineapples. What about planting it straightaway in soil as the climate is higher than the temperature you have mentioned in the video. I am afraid that it may rot . If it can be done, what are the things to take note of ? Thanks for sharing.
Yes, straight to soil definitely works if your climate allows. Keep it warm and moist and lots of indirect light
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TECHNIQUES!!!😃👍🏽🍍🍍 HOWEVER, I WAS HOPING YOU'D SHOW US ONE THAT WAS ACTUALLY GROWING A PINEAPPLE 🍍 ON IT FROM SCRATCH TO PRODUCING FRUIT!!!... I'M GONNA STILL FOLLOW YOUR CHANNEL BECAUSE I LIKE SOME OF YOUR METHODS VIDEOS!!!😎👍🏽🙋🏽♀️🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥
It’s been 7 weeks since I placed my pineapple top in water to sprout. I have roots growing along the bottom in the water but still don’t see a new shoot growing either in the center of the leaves or along the outside of the plant. Is it ok to pot it in soil yet or should I wait?
Do you have to change the water when propagating?
Have you harvested them? How many fruits did you get from one plant and how many months did it take?
Thank you.
I try to change the water every 3-4 days. Usually takes the plants a couple years to get large enough to produce. 1-3 pineapples per plant.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms have you ever tried hydrogen peroxide solution to stop that browning?
@@GHumpty1965 hi Kelly, I have not had to yet, as the plants always grew just fine.... But it is a thought and I do wonder if the extra oxygen could help...
you dont need to root them in water. peel the leaves back about 3 in. and stick it in potting soil and water it. nature will do the rest.
You speak exactly like that girl, Christina, from the Jaccuzzi bath remodel commercial. 😂
Thank you I’ll let you know if I succeed!
Fingers crossed!
Hello, been trying to do this for a while and I have been using distilled water, is that good to use or am I doing it wrong? The green keeps going brown and never rooting.
You referred me over to this video. So there's no need to let it dry for a couple days after you pull off the leaves? I'm going to do another one so I'll put it directly in the water
That's right Richard, with this one, strip nearly all the leaves off, exposing the stem and those roots just sprout out from everywhere!
I have heard not to use colored newspaper in gardening? Chemicals from ink are bad. Could you line with plain paper towels? Interesting and informative video.
Hey Kris, brown recycled kraft paper works too....or unprinted newspaper!
Any suggestions on how to keep the pineapple at the proper temperature if placed indoors on a window sill? I live in FL and placing it outside right now is not an option with the excessive heat.
They are tropical.... Sheltered inside until you get roots will work, they outside once they start growing
My guy found the infinite Pineapple glitch!
You can easily twist the top right off and wont have to cut anything off, then peel the leaves back. 😁
Well it's been a month since I planted my pineapple top. It's surving up against my patio slider door (we have a major bug invasion outside). I did what you said and used organic soil. This proved a BIG problem since the organic soil came with gnats. And I assume fungus gnats because the inside bag of organic soil is now covered in white fungus (a month after opening the bag). And my pineapple plant is being invaded with these pesky gnats. I went to Home depot and it was suggested to use a product called Sevin. I have to babysit my pineapple plant so much to eradicate the gnats. So now I just potted my 2nd pineapple plant, but not with organic soil. So do you have a suggestion on how to keep gnats and other bugs away?
Wow thanks for vidio is this one ok
Cheers Jennifer let us know if you give it a try!
Very good idea how to grow pineapple, but please what season that good for growing pineapple 🍍 🙏
That all depends on where you live. If you live near the equator, you can likely grow pineapple year-round. For me, I can only leave my pineapple plants outside for maybe 3-4 months in the summer, then they have to come indoors.
What heating mat do you use? Ty
Mine never grew the inner leaves but it did get roots. Will it still grow?
Once the pineapple grows will it have another stalk and can your re-plant the ones you grew?
Hi..when i put the pinappel top in a cup to grow roots, how often do i change the water in the cup. Thanks from Denmark
Hi Anne, I change the water every 3-4 days.
It looks as though my pineapple plant is getting moldy where the foliage/ leaves are after only 11 days. I’ve been changing the water regularly. Am I doing something wrong and will the plant still survive?
How long after you move it to the 2nd pot. Can you do it all over again with the new one
Right away!
Better suggestion
Works every time!
When you plant the pineapple in water, do you have to change the water periodically or for any reason?
Hi how often do we change the water in the container before transitioning to soil?
I change the water twice a week before roots appear.....after the roots show up, weekly is fine.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms you dont need to root it in water.
@@yantolee4017 ok
I'll grow them from seeds and crowns as well as pups
Cool
I bought a pineapple to root and noticed it was drilled in the center. Hopefully it still works. I got three others currently in the rooting process, that weren't drilled.
That's very interesting! Did it work for you??
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Unfortunately, the drilled one didn't make. Only one of the three undrilled rooted.
Why the newspaper? What amendments... fertilizer etc did you add to your dirt?
Umm it’s summer for me and I did the Previous Method and it worked for me
Cheers!
Lmao I am doing the same thing with a newer pineapple
How often do you change out the water for the rooting stage?
On a different video they said to change it every two days.
I have tried so many time but it rotes, either in the container with water or in the soil. Rotting starting inside the heart either from the beginning or later on. Any tips ? i have tried more than 10-20 times with no successful tries :(
Its all in the pineapple you use. Pick the youngest freshest ones possible.
Is it better to cut or twist the top off?
I've done both with equal success Etienne.
We tried, got it rooted but our top had brown on it & was very ,very skinny ( it just fall off the top)
its been about a month, but there are only a few roots not nearly as much as yours. And the inside died but its still green. What should I do?
start over. peel back leaves about 3" from the base. and put it it in potting soul and water it. no need to root it in water.
does this become an ornamental tree or will it produce other pineapples in the future?
Oh, it will produce more pineapples art.....definitely. Just needs time, space, and the right environmental conditions.
Each plant will make one pineapple in about 2 years.
@@OakKnobFarm Or longer...if you live in Canada, LOL
No meat necessary. A ripened pineapple will easily hand twist. Everything else is spot on...
🙂
8-12 moths! SHHH, I will pend the $3 and buy one. Good Video nonetheless.
Yes, but you could buy one AND use its top to grow one.... ;-)
How long does it take until u have an edible pineapple?
About 2 years. But worth it because it is almost effortless. When we lived in S. Florida, we planted all of our pineapple tops and after 2 years we never had to buy another one. We had those suckers growing everywhere! (Also counted as free landscaping, lol!!) When we sold our house I think we got a little more $$ because buyers were thrilled to have this ready resource!
Takes a while Amalia. But in the meantime, you get a cool houseplant and conversation piece!
Well it depends on how well you care it. If you take good care of it, it should flower in 2 to 3 years. If you don't take good care of it, it can be 4 to 5 years, but remember that every plant doesn't trive well if you don't repot it. If you never repot it, it can take up many years if you have a lot of luck, but it should never flower.
@@dbrunsrtrom a good way to know if your plant is very strong: the existing leaves get longer from the place where it is attached to the plant. Tip: you can see the sanity of the plant by inspecting the leaves. If they are small, the plant is a little bit weaker, but if the new parts of the leaves get bigger, it gets stronger. Leaves generated in the winter are thinner than leaves generated in the summer. By some plants (again including pineapple) you can see it by watching the stem. Bigger parts of the stem are better than thinner parts.
How do you overwinter?
You don't Esther. These are tropical fruit plants...they gotta come inside if your area gets at all remotely cold!
