Planting Guide:
- Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny spot in your garden or backyard where your Red Pineapple plants will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. Pineapples thrive in warm, tropical climates.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5-6.5), and rich in organic matter. Pineapples prefer loose, sandy soils for proper root development.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant Red Pineapple Seeds 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart to give them room to grow.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Pineapples require regular watering, especially in dry periods, but ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot.
- Care for the Plant: Provide your Red Pineapple plants with plenty of sunlight, occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer, and regular pruning to remove dead leaves and encourage healthy growth.
- Harvesting: Harvest the Red Pineapples once they turn vibrant red, are firm to the touch, and release a sweet tropical aroma. Typically, this happens after 2-3 years of growth.
