<\/p>\nMaybe you have seen several videos or so about how to cut a pineapple. If you haven’t good. This is the bestestest way to cut a pineapple. I don’t like to cut the shell\/skin thingy off from outside to inside, too complicated!\u00a0?<\/p>\n
In case you want to grow your own pineapple, all you need is a pineapple. Look for one that has a dark green crown, meaning it’s not dried up. It also should smell like pineapple already, which means it is ripe. Only the intact crowns from ripe pineapples really grow roots – as of my own experience – so please pick a nice pineapple. If you are smart (and as my follower you must be smart) … you also pick a real sweet type. Some are rather sour even if they write “extra sweet” on the label. If you found your perfect pineapple, let’s go……<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
YOU NEED:<\/p>\n

\nTwist the crown off the body of the pineapple. Put it aside we will take care of it later.<\/p>\n

\nNow cut the pineapple into half. And then cut each half again. If your knife is blunt, this will be super hard.<\/p>\n

\nThe core in the middle can be very woody – you don’t wanna eat that – so remove it (its usually a bit lighter in color than the rest)<\/p>\n

\nnow you can loosen the flesh of the peel by sliding\u00a0along the botton, not too close to the peel thingy as it has eyes, and you can’t eat them either\u00a0?<\/p>\n

\nafter that you can cut little pieces like I did and even move them a little, so it’s looking fantastic. If you just wanna eat the pineapple on your own, you don’t need to do that *tehehee* but it looks nicely when you have guests.<\/p>\n
Ok now munch a bit of pineapple, we need to take care of the crown now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
if the crown had brown or yellow leafs, rip them off. My crown now looks like this. I put it in a cup filled with water. You should check the water at least every 2nd day. Some suggest to not change the water, but it can be really smelly. I use to change the water. Put the cup at a warm place. Temperatures should be between 18.5\u00b0 – \u00a026\u00b0C (65\u00b0\u201379\u00b0F). Yes Texas has excellent weather for this (Hi Hope!)<\/p>\n
When you see roots, time to plant your plant into soil. I use regular soil and I fertilize my pineapple plant ever 2 months or so. I didn’t before and they died ….*sniff*. So I guess my soil wasn’t as good as I thought. In Hawaii the ground is Volcanic and contains lots of Iron. I use normal plant fertilizer.\u00a0?<\/p>\n
In summer I put them in the greenhouse. And I use to spray water on the leaves in the pm, also water it in the pm. In winter my pineapples are living on the radiator\u00a0?<\/p>\n

\nThe left plant is from last year, the right one from today. Even in the bestestest surrounding a Pinapple can take 2 years or more to grow a fruit. So don’t give up too early.<\/p>\n
And now a few pictures from Dole plantation on O’ahu.<\/p>\n

\u00a0There it’s a baby!<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/waikikibunny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pine10.png\")
\u00a0I can hardly wait for my pineapple to look like this!<\/p>\n

\nIF I lived in Texas (Hi Pat) my backyard would look like this *giggle*<\/p>\n
