Fabulous! I love the variegated form & pink pineapples. Do they remain smaller than the "regular" kind?
Hit the jackpot yesterday by scoring about 10 new tops to try to cultivate. Our little town had an annual concert/festival and there was a vendor selling fruit drinks with hollow pineapples being used as the "cup." I noticed a pile of tops behind the tent and asked if I could have a few. They said, "sure, grab an empty box or 2 & fill them up if you want, they're going in the dumpster." I can only house a couple more, so if the success rate is high, I'm happy to share or trade them.
I'm going to do these the way my other 2 (that took root & are still growing) were done, sit on soil surface & push soil up to the sides, water whenever it's been a week w/o rain.
