Pineapple is a shallow rooted tropical fruit that is grown outdoors in frost free areas where temperatures typically range from 65 to 95°F. It is best grown in acidic, loose, sandy, organically rich, well-drained soils. Pineapple plants are primarily propagated by crowns (leafy clumps atop mature fruits), slips (on peduncles below the fruit), suckers (along the stem) or to a lesser degree by old stems. In temperate regions, pineapples are grown indoors in warm greenhouses or in containers as houseplants. Indoor plants require a consistently moist soil, bright sun, high humidity and an air temperature that does not dip below 65°F. Fruits may not appear on indoor plants during the first few years. Indoor fruits are usually quite small and not particularly tasty, but are ornamentally attractive. For home gardening, (a) remove the leafy crown (by twisting or cutting) from a commercial pineapple, (b) remove any remaining yellow fruit attached to the crown, (c) dry the crown for one or two days, (d) place the crown in a moist potting soil mix or in water until roots appear and (e) plant the crown in a container of well-draining bromeliad-type potting soil. Containers may be taken outside in summer and placed in full sun locations, but should be brought back indoors when night temperatures begin to dip below 60°F.
