When I did my pineapple top rooting in soil in a container, as you can see in the earlier post I have, my media is coarse, as if I am growing a succulent plant. I find your media rather too moist looking. Is there a way you can put some more perlite or pumice in it. The base might be getting too moist and it has no roots yet. It takes awhile for the roots to grow, so got to treat it like you are growing a typical succulent. I do not mist the leaves yet at this point either, just keeping it dry and maybe watering the soil area once a week, and allowing the media to dry out. New leaves will form at the center later on.
