Growing Pineapple from Crowns

Growing a pineapple can take up to 18 months to get fruit. Pineapples need temperatures of around 65 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The crown can be rooted in water until you see the roots growing and they will grow in soil with the stem planted 3 to 4 inches deep. Mature plants produce several types of offshoots or pups that can be grown as separate plants. When the plants flowers it will take around 6 months to produce a ripe yellow pineapple. The size of the pot often determines the size of the fruit.
