I hope I can keep the cycle going with this pineapple lineage for many generations to come.

      You’re welcome! For anyone else interested in the story about this pineapple adventure, check my previous posts.

      I haven’t cut into it just yet because of a complicated situation with my diabetes but I figured all that out and I will probably have it for breakfast in the morning and then I will update this comment.

      Edit: I couldn’t wait, it tasted delicious af!

          Thank you! I was very excited to be able to successfully grow a pineapple plant indoors in a window that faces northeast. I wish I had a house with the ability to grow things in ideal conditions so being able to succeed with limited resources makes me very happy.

            It’s also impressive you kept a pot plant alive for 5 years! I hope to manage that some day.

    Is that how it works? The fruit can regenerate from the head? Bcos I just cut up a pineapple for munchies.

      Yes! I originally cut the top off of a store bought pineapple and planted it and then after many years it grew a new pineapple fruit. The new pineapple is much smaller but the head on this baby is pretty large and healthy.

        Was just gonna say - it’s disproportionate, but very cute! How large does the plant get, and can it be done indoors?

          This is a pic of the window it has lived in for the last 5 years. I’d say it’s about 30 inches wide. My friend has one that is a decent amount larger but he has had it outside in the summer and in a larger pot. Mine has been confined to a smaller pot and treated like a succulent because I just assumed that it would grow the same way for whatever reason by being root bound and stressed a little with infrequent watering.
