It would have been easier to stay in your original thread.
The thread "Pineapple plants help!" in

Your pineapple is at the end of its life: grow fruit, grow pups and die. That's what they do, it won't reroot. But, if you get a pineapple from the grocery store, you can root and grow it.
I imagine the babies didn't survive because you took them off the mother plant before it died - they were being supported by the mother plant and could not survive on their own quite yet.
BTW, have you ever seen a pineapple plant? They are 6 ft tall and 6 ft wide with killer leaves. Not my idea of the ideal houseplant.
