Stop! Don't throw away the pineapple top! You can plant the crown and grow your own pineapple 🍍 Rooting the Pineapple Crown in Water; 1. Remove a few of the lower leaves from the crown to expose the stem. 2. Place the crown in the glass or jar, making sure the stem is covered in water but not the crown itself. 3. Position the jar in a sunny location, such as a windowsill, where it can receive indirect sunlight. Remember to change the water regularly to prevent stagnation and algae formation. 4. Over the course of a few weeks, you will begin to observe the growth of roots from the base of the crown. Transfer your crown to a pot or direct to your garden bed. 5. Plant the top in well-draining soil, burying it up to the first true leaves. 6. Remember to keep the soil moist and provide adequate light for your newly propagated pineapple plant. 7. Wait for 2-3 years to fruit 🍍🍍🍍. Happy Gardening! 👩‍🌾 👍🏻❤️🍍
