Please try to get your kids involved with this one. NO MATTER HOW OLD OR YOUNG THEY ARE. Let’s all do this TOGETHER as a FAMILY.👊🏽❤️👊🏽 Guava!

I got two more tips for ya: The pineapple producers do not want you do grow their pineapples, so, they shoot the plastic strip of the tag right through the sprouting center which suppose to become your future pineapple plant. That causes it to get funky and mold and finally dies off before it has a chance to grow. So, tipp number one: Look out for Pineapple with no tag or make sure you get one where the tag is not going through the sprouting center.

So, tipp number one: Look out for Pineapple with no tag or make sure you get one where the tag is not going through the sprouting center. Tipp number two: It really takes a month (or even two) until it grows roots which are long enough to support the plants growth. In that time the water gets funky and that can attract fungis which will destroy the stem. But there is an easy trick to avoid that completely: Do as shown in the video, but before you put it into the jar, go outdoors and smash one chunk of charcoal to dust. Wrap a piece in an old cloth and hit it with a hammer a couple of times. Open the cloth and you got some charcoal dust. Now you apply that dust all around the stem where you just picked off the leafs, especially its bottom part, and also drop some of the charcoal into the water. In that way the stem and its bottom get sanitized and the water will not get funky at all.

Wow, My Aldi pineapple....not even yellow or ripe had lots of roots! But also that plastic tag, someone mentioned. Gonna plant it anyway to add to my family of other bromeliads. Thank You, for this video!

I tried so many time and never got it but I followed your instructions and now I got a pineapple tree growing in my backyard- thank you.

You have the absolute most soothing and gentle tone and you’re an excellent teacher. The world needs more people like you.

You're one heck of an instructor, you taught this so patiently, and this grandma is definitely gonna try this, especially since I'm in the process of cutting up 2 pineapples! You're appreciated! Indianapolis Nana! 😊

I think this is such an important message to humanity right now. Your videos inspire me to learn how to grow my own food. I recently found your channel and I’m definitely going to come back and comment and tell you how this project went.

I have grown about 15-16 pineapple plants and gave away several for gifts. I had 10 at one time. I grow them indoors 9 months out of the year indoors then 3 months outdoors. I have used large Folger's coffee plastic cans with drain holes in the bottom. I have always just took the top with maybe a half inch and it starts plants about 2/3 of the time. I like to tell people that I have 'one of the larger pineapple plantations' in my county of the Texas panhandle. I collect rain water for my plants.

It’s crazy how they don’t teach things like this in school🤨 thank GOD for KZfaq! And thank GOD for Mr.&Mrs. Lead for being able and willing to share🙏🏽🙌🏾❤️

I started a small garden in the summer of 2022 with my grandsons and granddaughters. This year, we were going to plant pineapples just like your video(my 5-year-old granddaughter) she watched with me. Super excited. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You're truly an inspiration to us and our garden. Thank you

You added a few tips no one else has mentioned like distilled water, and using a ripe pineapple, which when you think about it only makes sense- thanks for increasing my chances at success, Pinnapple acquired. Can't wait to do this!

I just juiced 3 pineapples 🍍 with ginger and lime 1 hour ago !!! I saved the tops and this just popped up on my timeline!!! Your timing is perfect!!!! Thank you so much !!!

Thank you sir 🥰 I’m also a KZfaq creator, this was my first time coming across your channel tonight 12/27/2021, I will be watching more. ☺️

Just got my first store bought pineapple to try this!!! There’s so many roots! And you helped me pick a good pineapple that was so sweet and packed with roots! IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!

Thank you for the GREAT video...I bet you are such a fun/joyful person to be around.Your voice&humor shines through.Blessings,to you&your family.♥️🙏🏻

The same way when you invest, you’re buying a day that you don’t have to work.. I pray everyone reading this becomes successful.

Y'all are the kind of neighbors I want! I am prepared, I am skilled, I have knowledge...but it takes more than one person to survive and nobody around me is even remotely prepared. Keep up the good work. Love your videos!

You have the most detailed video compared to all others I’ve seen. It’s explained very well and shows better pictures, & you took your time to do it all with even showing if there are already any roots. Others just want to tell to hype us up. Thanks for being so informative on this. 🍍

Omg...Thanks for this step by step instruction.. you make the process seems so easy.. The world needs more instructors like you. Im surely going to try this. THANKS...LOVE YA💖

I remember back in school, at the beginning of the year, my teacher would bring a pineapple plant in that she had started from the top and had already been transplanted into a pot, and she showed us how to use an apple to force it to fruit by placing a rotting apple in the center and covering it with a bag for a couple of weeks and then remove it, it would then flower and produce a pineapple that we would pick and eat before the end of the year. You’ve made me want to try that again.

You can also place a banana peel in the distilled water (The longer the better) where the potassium from the peel will soak into the water. This is very good for root growth of any plant!

Thank You for this video. I actually used each of these steps. On my way to watching my first Pineapple grow. 🍍 Once again 😊 Thanks.

Aye bro, this is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Life is viewed in an entirely new and different perspective for me as I’ve been watching how to plant different things. Nothing better from what I see than taking a fruit or vegetable that was grown by oneself and cracking it open and eating it on the spot. Absolutely astonishing. Plants and trees etc. have so much value. Once one is caught up in the matrix, it’s easy to forget how precious and abundant life really is.

Oh my g*d, I JUST picked up 4 pineapples! I was thinking about if I should try to root them and if so, how?! 🤔 Ask, and it shall be given. So, thank you for sharing your knowledge and manifesting the answer! 🥰

I’ve thought about growing a pineapple for years. Now I’m up to the challenge. Count me in. Thanks for sharing.💚

Thank you so much! This is the best detailed video I have seen. Have 1 started right now. Looking forward to watching your other videos.

Yours is by far the best, most direct video for growing pineapple. Other videos did not explain about peeling back to the root, which is why I probably wasn't successful. Going to try your method now. Anyway, thanks for a clean, concise video.

I have no idea how I ended up on your video, but I watched it in it's entirety and I found it to be very informative. I know nothing about growing plants but I actually learned something today thanks to you so I went ahead and subscribed to your channel to see more of your videos. Cheers to you, Sir!

I love this guy! His enthusiasm is contagious! Getting your children, grandchildren and friends involved in planting and growing food is so important.

Today I just harvested a Pineapple from my garden. No need to put them in water first. For the past 10 years, I grow them just by putting them in the soil in my backyard. After 9 months, there is a new ripe pineapple to harvest.

Thank you! I needed this 😁 I had a little top growing in my window, but I didn't know about finding the roots! Big help ♡ also, the little "twist it" editing cracked me up 😂

I love how genuine your excitement and love for growing pineapples is. At my job everyone would tease me because I’d take all the pineapple tops everyday they’d cut off for food prep. But I grew like 100 beautiful and delish pineapples. Nothing more satisfying. Cheers to you.

Thanks! I have a pineapple that made it through the winter, planted outside from the get'go! When I was sick as a child, Daddy would buy me a jar of pineapple preserves. We didn't have much, gut Daddy always tried to keep us happy when we were down. Pineapple has always been my favorite. Again Thanks.

Fantastic, Sir! Thanks for the inspiration and the instructions. I sensed a lot of love in this video. I am doing this right away!

This is one of the most helpful videos on this subject. Thank you.

I’m so tired of you reading my mind 😂🤣😂🤣😂 you are the best!!! I just purchased a pineapple and told my daughter we’re going to plant it

Just want to say I love that you encourage parents to get there kids involved! You sir are 1 in a million.

OMG I tried this and it WORKED!!!! One of my tops has 2 sprout things coming out the side!!! I can't wait for them to start producing 😁 thank you so much for the info 💕💕💕

Any project that involves the family creates bonding time and brings everyone closer is worth it. Salute.

That was the best and most informative explanation of how to grow pineapple at home. Thank you!!

I just bought a pineapple today and thought how great it would be to grow them in my home. Then low and behold I see your video! Talk about synchronicity! ✨✨✨✨Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏾💕

I like this guy. He teaches with humility and explains it so my kindergarten green thumb can understand... Thx Sir

I'd always heard planting the top would produce a tree, but seeing the process, and watching it happen it very interesting. Thank you for the info.

I did try this before, I must have over watered it. It rotted. Going to try again. Thank you for sharing. God bless and keep you and yours.

Lead farmer keeping it funny and informative. Thank you brother. Def gonna try this.

Your literally the go to if I got a seed, a plant, a anything I need help with and I always succeed with your tips and tricks. Luv it.

Wish I had a dad like you around growing up man. Hope your kids look back at the moments when their dad taught them stuff like this and brings a smile to their face and fills them with love and pride.

I just planted a pineapple top earlier today!!! I’ve never done this before so fingers crossed 🤞🏾

I’ve tried growing many pineapples from the top. I used tap water and only one took. Now I know to use distilled. Thanks Lead!!! You’re always so helpful and fun to watch.

This is the best pineapple growing tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you!

Plain, simple and easy to understand. Thank you. From nz...

God is good and guides! I was thinking of doing this with the pineapple I bought yesterday at Aldi's. It's a Divine coincidence you have made this video, and I am grateful. The thing is, I live in an apartment and have a little greenhouse. I will try to do it anyway! Thanks for this wonderful video. 💖💖✊🏾✊🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾💚💚❤❤🖤🖤💚💚

Now that is COOL!!! As a kid, my parents "forced" me to do yard work and work in the garden. Who knew as an adult I would enjoy it? My folks are both gone now which makes it even more valuable to me now. It's one way I still feel connected to them. Like my Mom and Grandma, I'm blessed because I can throw any plant or seeds into a pot or the ground and they will grow. Thanks for sharing! It's awesome!!!~APRIL LIPKE

Great video! I have done this in the past but never thought to grab the ripest pineapple. I only ever had little nubs as starters for the roots. I'm going to try this again. It really is a fun hobby.

I’m so happy you posted this. I started rooting a pineapple top last month and got another yesterday. I can’t wait to grow my own fruit and veggies

I really love your videos. Your knowledge, dedication, and excitement for growing your own food and being self sufficient is remarkable. Makes me smile because I remember that excitement and know how being passed on to me from my late mother. We had veggies growing in every sunny window and in our city lot backyard. You’re sharing info that is really essential but have learned to defer to manufacturers. What a mistake. Keep up the great work!

I did one with the top of a pineapple my parents brought home from Hawaii. The colors are amazing when it finally flowers. Also, the pride in having cared for the plant long enough to get a ripe pineapple somehow makes it taste even better.

Great video man, straight forward, all the information. Also the funniest video I seen all day! Gonna have to try this out.

First time I see one of your videos and I can tell you are a good soul! Keep smiling! And I laughed so hard - the humor parts. 😂💙

I grew a number of pineapples from the tops of store bought pineapples. I took a picture every week as it grew from the top. The purple blue flowers in the growing pineapple as it slowly emerged from the crotch of the plant are absolutely gorgeous.

We had 26 pineapples growing in pots all along our fence mostly planted at different times. Planted from just cutting off the top. Didn't know about peeling back to expose the roots. It took over a year to get any pineapples but our prize one was 18 inches of fruit not counting the top. Hurricane Jean wiped them out. Will try this method for sure. Also, if you think the plant is dead keep it watered, fertilized (we used slow release granules) and weeded. They will come back!!

I really enjoyed your thorough explanation, especially about the root or no root part. I'm starting fresh today and hope to follow your lead.

Couple of notes for anyone trying this: 1) Each plant will only grow a single pineapple before dying. 2) Each plant produces a few "suckers" or "pups", this is how they reproduce. Repot these as these will grow faster than from a fruit crown. 3) You can cut a fruit crown into quarters to get 4 plants from one crown (4 pineapples from 1) but you must plant these segments into soil as they lose nutrients faster as they have less bio-mass. 4) The plants only require around 5 litres of growing medium but for a better tasting fruit, ensure the soil is around 4.5PH to 5.5PH with a slightly sandy mix. They do well in woodchip heavy soils if you keep them fertilized during the hottest 4-6 months.

I am looking 👀 at mines on the window sill right now! Over wintering 5 right now...

I do this all the time and usually grow them out in pots, but this month I decided to dedicate a spot in my yard to pineapples. I have 6 growing now. I have also picked out some seeds and got those to sprout as well!

Man youre the best. So positive and good natured to help folks with self sufficieny. Thank you for taking the time to make videos like this you got me as a subscriber.

Exactly waht I needed and very informative, Thanks for tanking the time to do this.

I need to start now. I've recently been on a craze just keeping seeds from veggies/fruits and letting them sprout....I'm always excited when I actually see growth and to THINK how much food I cam regrow on my own...it's just awesome.

My mother LOVED to do this! She passed just before she turned 90. Your video sure brought a smile to my face and fond memories. Thank you.

Canada ... THANK YOU ... what a fabulous lesson. I love pineapple and am going to start this soon. I just bought one. Many thanks for sharing your passion of helping other families. It will make an excellent family event. 🙏

Just now trying this. Thanks for the info. My grandkids were not with me but they like seeing my plants have growth every time they come over.

This video was right on time! I just put my crown in water. Didn't know about the distilled water though. Thanks for sharing.

Great job & video! Thanks for being an awesome teacher. May TMH God's continued blessing be upon everything you do. Peace.

I like how gentle and nurturing you are with your pineapple plant. That’s what imma do to be a better plant mama.

This is crazy! I just cut a pineapple and told my husband I wanted to try this. Then your video came out. Thanks.

Looks easy! I think I'm going to try this. Thanks Lead😊👍

Thank you for this! I never knew you could do this and I am definitely going to try it. A lot of satisfaction from growing your own food 😊…including little ones in this process teaches them a lot too! ❤

Thank you bro for sharing all of your knowledge 🙏 Just 3 days ago I did this minus removing the leave by about an inch below. I'm glad I saw this so I can do the same to mine. Love your channel and me and my family love you as well my brotha. ✌️ Each one teach one and I hope people don't drop the ball to teach this next generation and just anyone that wants yo know. 💯

Thank you for making this video. You broke the process down into very easy to understand steps and you also gave reasons why you did those steps. Which is great because that's how you teach people and you're a good teacher! Very good idea to grow your own food the way our country is going. Definitely going to give this a try!

I have three pineapple tops now trying to root in some cups. Thanks for sharing your tips! 😊🌱

The most important thing in your video is "Get your kids involved!" Really enjoyed it. Michael

Love 🤣🤣 the extraordinary clips you show along with your tutorial .. making my day !!!

Im glad I ran across your channel, I now see what I was doing wrong…. I’ve got 2 more to start again… I planted 2 fig trees, trial & error, finally learned what I was doing wrong…. They grow kinda like a bush, & every couple of years some of the older branches die out, you just snap those off, cause they’re all dried out, brittle… make sure you plant it in a sunny spot or you won’t benefit being able to enjoy All of the fruit, my 2nd tree I did👍

Last week I was moving my compost. There was a pineapple top that I had thrown in it a while back. When I saw it, I noticed that it had roots! Got me curious, so I potted it, not sure what would happen. Now I’m excited about what will come!

My children and I are doing this today with the pineapple we had for breakfast!!! You are so awesome!!! Thanks

Great thorough explanation. Others ones I have scene have not been as detailed and clear as you. It felt like you were doing mine for me. I was just the helping hand 😸 thanks a bunch

Growing pineapples never works for me. 😢😢 But I will watch and trust your process. ☺️

I will try again with your method.

you're a real one, glad I found your channel. thanks for sharing.

Awesome, great class. Thank you Sir.

Great! Easiest way to start a pineapple I have ever seen. Thanks.

Great video! We got three pineapples from Hawaii 15 years ago while there for the wife's birthday. They have lived on, and I continously grow pineapples in North Georgia. They live on the deck from last frost to threat of first frost every year while wintering inside. They desperately need full sunlight to grow. Without it (indoor growing) the leaves will be narrow and the plant will not mature for years unless you force it. Once outside, they need as much sunshine as you can muster, so find a spot with full sun exposure on the south side of anything that might shade it. More sun, bigger pineapple. The five gallon bucket is a good container too, they need soil and sun. Mine typically flower in mid-December and deliver a fully grown pineapple in August, but it took me a long time to figure out they need full sun to mature. Also, once they give up a pineapple, the plant will continue to grow an will form ratoons which you can remove and plant just as you would any new pineapple. You have to work hard to kill them. Leaving them out in the cold is the guaranteed way to make a good plant die.

Bless you for sharing such amazing tips & tricks!

Fabulous video!! We are going to get our two boys growing some pineapples! Great video! Love your enthusiasm for gardening!!

That’s why I love KZfaq. Content creators such as yourself sharing your knowledge. 😊 thanks, I’m inspired. Blessings 😇😊😊

Thanks for the vid man, new gardener here researching and trying to work my way to feeding my family with the garden. This is genuinely a fresh perspective, I've never see anyone talk about peeling the leaves to find the roots. great video!

I love the way you teach💛 This is my 1st time seeing one of your videos and you got yourself a new subscriber.

Thank you for your video! I'm really looking forward to trying it out! Greetings from central Oregon!

I want that sound every time I need to twist anything. Also, after a great many videos seen, yours is the first I've come across to address soil composition. Exactly what I was looking for. This will be my first plant ever trying to grow. Happy to find a video for noobs like me that need basics.
