will a pineapple plant that beared fruit regrow another pineapple?

Question

I purchased a pineapple plant with fruit already growing. I harvested the pineapple and want to know will it bear anymore fruit?

Answer 1

Yes. It should already have an immature plantlet growing with the mother plant, and after bearing, the mother plant will eventually die, leaving the new one to take over and do the same thing. Bromeliads, the fancy version of pineapple, a cousin, do the same thing. If kept properly, you could perpetuate this plant indefinitely.

Answer 2

This is what I found out when living in Florida where pineapple plants grow like weeds. The pineapple plant will bear one pineapple. However the pineapple plant will have baby pineapple plants which will have one pineapple and so on and so on. When the pineapple plant is ready to form a pineapple the middle part (if you look down into the plant) will turn red. When the pineapple is ripe it will be brown, if you let it become more yellow it will be more ripe. That is what I did with mine. Also you don't have to buy a pineapple plant. Buy a pineapple at the store and twist the green top off. Remove about eight to ten of the bottom leaves and plant into good soil and it will grow. Sometimes there are planting instructions that come with the pineapple that say to place the green top into a dark place for about a week. I've done that and it is not necessary from what I've found. Just plant as I've suggested and you should have good luck. In fact the way I do it I've had better results.

Regrow Pineapple

Answer 4

To prepare a fresh pineapple, the easiest way is to twist the crown from the pineapple, slice it in half lengthwise and then again. Slice out the core, trim off the rind (as you would a cantaloupe), and cut the trimmed, peeled, quarters into chunks. Get fancy if you like--you can buy pineapple corers at kitchen supply stores and curved knives designed to cut the curved shell.

Use the crown to grow your own plant, but you probably won't get any fruit unless you have a greenhouse. To start your own, grab the crown of leaves (you might want to wear gloves) twist it off the fruit and suspend it in a glass of water to that the bottom part is submerged. In a few weeks, you'll have roots and you can plant the crown--make sure it's in well-drained soil. It's easy to drown a pineapple with too much water.

After it's produced fruit once, it should keep producing for a few more years.

Answer 5

Yes. I planted one in my yard three months ago and it is still alive.

Slice the crown (that's the leafy top part) off the fruit. Be sure to remove all the flesh. If you don't remove this material it may rot in the soil. Carefully slice small, horizontal sections from the crown until you see root buds that appear as small dots or circles on the cut surface. The root buds are where the roots will eventually emerge and exposing them will facilitate quicker root formation. Strip off about an inch of lower leaves from the base to provide a stem for planting in the soil. Then set the plant top aside for a minimum of seven days in a dry place, out of full sun. The cut end must be allowed to heal and dry before planting, otherwise the plant will rot in the soil.

Answer 6

Pineapples are bromeliads. The top part is the end of the growing process. If you follow the link below you will see it is propagated by shoots or slips or restarting the crown. There are other sites but this one was easy to understand.

i don't see why not

Answer 8

yes replant the top in soil
