Alright alright alright,

I am currently trying to do that thing where you take of the top of a pineapple and regrow it. I really want to make this work. But I am having some serious trouble with it, as it rots almosts every time. What do I do wrong or forget?

This is the third pineapple top that has rotten. The first two, I took them off the pineapple, cleaned them, took a lot of leaves of so the base would be exposed and then stuck it in water with some toothpicks in. That didn't work.

For the last one, I just stuck it in the soil right away, as I always had more luck with this method from other projects - still the plant died.

So yeah... I am looking for any advice to what I might be doing wrong. Read somewhere that you might leave it to dry after cutting the top off the fruit?

Thanks in advance everybody!
