Name: tarev San Joaquin County, CA (Zone 9b) Give PEACE a chance!
Week 2: Took a peek at my pineapple top..slowly removing the rocks and gel beads..so far seems doing good. I see little root nubs on the sides. The leaves do look ghastly as expected, but the part of the leaves that is still green has a nice sheen, reminds me of my amaryllis when it finally adjusted to a similar rock/gel bead set-up. The base of the pineapple top feels quite firm to the touch as well.
