I hope I can keep the cycle going with this pineapple lineage for many generations to come.

Is that how it works? The fruit can regenerate from the head? Bcos I just cut up a pineapple for munchies.

Yes! I originally cut the top off of a store bought pineapple and planted it and then after many years it grew a new pineapple fruit. The new pineapple is much smaller but the head on this baby is pretty large and healthy.

Was just gonna say - it's disproportionate, but very cute! How large does the plant get, and can it be done indoors?

This is a pic of the window it has lived in for the last 5 years. I’d say it’s about 30 inches wide. My friend has one that is a decent amount larger but he has had it outside in the summer and in a larger pot. Mine has been confined to a smaller pot and treated like a succulent because I just assumed that it would grow the same way for whatever reason by being root bound and stressed a little with infrequent watering.

Thanks! Might decide to give it a try sometime!
