Planting Guide:
- Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny spot in your garden where the pineapple plants will receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Pineapples thrive in warm, tropical climates but can also be grown in containers for indoor gardening.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining and slightly acidic (pH 5.5-6.5). Pineapples prefer sandy or loamy soil, so amend your soil with sand or organic matter if needed.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant Pineapple Seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart to allow room for growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Regular watering is essential, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Care for the Plant: Pineapples are low-maintenance once established. Prune away dead or damaged leaves, and feed with a balanced fertilizer to encourage growth.
- Harvesting: Pineapples are ready to harvest when the fruit turns golden-yellow and has a sweet aroma. Typically, pineapples will ripen 2-3 years after planting.
