I need to take another picture of my pineapple, one of them is growing a flower. I took the advice of Zig and stopped watering it as often. I sprayed it every couple days but that was all. It seems to have worked on one of them at least. I'm still hoping the other one, a honey type, will also produce.

I generally just clean off all the fruit from the base, put it in water until I see some roots and then plant it. They need a lot of sun and heat though. I had one produce fruit in my kitchen window in northern California once, it was a very small fruit though.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.

I visited a nursery once where pineapples are grown commercially. I was told each of the 'eyes' that is in the skin of a pineapple fruit will make a new plant. Never tried it though.

I'll have to give this a try. I have never heard of this until now. If the top doesn't work I'll keep trying different things until something roots, grows, and then produces fruit. It may take me a while, however I'm determined to grow a pineapple or several.
