Planting Guide:
- Select a Sunny Spot: Choose a sunny location with full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. Pineapples thrive in tropical environments and need plenty of light.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-drained, slightly acidic, and rich in organic matter. A pH of 5.5-6.5 is ideal for pineapple growth.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant Yellow Pineapple Seeds 1/2 inch deep in the soil, spacing them 18-24 inches apart to allow the plant to grow to its full size.
- Watering: Water the seeds consistently, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Pineapples do not like waterlogged conditions, so ensure proper drainage.
- Care for the Plant: Pineapple plants need full sunlight and occasional fertilizing. Be patient, as it can take up to 2 years for the plant to produce fruit.
- Harvesting: Harvest the pineapple when it turns a vibrant yellow color and releases a sweet scent. Gently twist the fruit from the plant to avoid damaging the tree.
