Ananas comosus variegatus -
Ivory Pineapple

A pineapple for the home. Strong variegated spiky 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!).

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 that edible unfortunately.
