I potted my pineapple plant about a week, went through the removal of tons of bottom leaves, as many of the tiny leaves, and letting it dry before potting it. It seems to be doing good and actually looks greener, I've had to water it twice. Now I have a ton of dead bottom leaves, but since it's only been a week and I'm not sure if it's rooted yet; should I leave those for now? How would I get rid of them once it's rooted strongly? Some top leaves when I cut my pineapple were already starting to brown, and so I've trimmed the dead parts with scissors.

@Bamb00Stix First of all It takes awhile for the plant to root so I would advise you to just leave the bottom leaves as is for now. There are some others who have rooted pineapple by various methods. The thread below yours has a lot of information which you might find useful.

Thank you! I actually was reading that when this question dawned on me. I'll definitely leave it be until the last week or so of next month. Do you happen to know the proper way of doing it for when it is rooted?

Just be patient. I know they don't look very pretty but trying to remove them now will probably do more harm than good.
