Planting Guide:
- Select a Sunny Location: Choose a sunny spot where your Pineapple plants will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Pineapples thrive in warm, tropical climates.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining, loose, and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5-6.5). Amend the soil with compost if necessary to improve drainage.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant the Pineapple Seeds 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep into the soil, spacing them 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart to allow ample room for growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Pineapples do not like standing water, so ensure the soil drains well.
- Care for the Plant: Pineapples need full sunlight and regular watering. Once the plant is established, it may need occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer.
- Harvesting: Pineapples are ready to harvest when they turn golden yellow, are firm to the touch, and emit a sweet aroma. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the plant.
