A pineapple for the home. Strong variegated spiky (And sharp)
foliage
as well as a flower spike followed by a small pineapple
make this one of the best bromeliads to own. Give the plant
high humidity and plenty of warmth in the spring to induce
flowering and fruiting (this can last for up to 10 months!).
This in our experience is a very very easy plant to look
after.
Site:
A Bright spot with a bit of direct sun if possible.
Temp:
Keep warm 60°F / 70°F (To induce flowering keep
above 75°F)
Water:
Keep the well in the centre of the plant topped up with
water. Keep humidity up by misting.
Feeding:
A liquid feed every two weeks from flowering on.
Tip:
Don't expect a giant edible pineapple! The fruit is
small and not edible unfortunately.
