    Flowering and fruiting. Although the pineapple plant is attractive in itself, most growers want their plants to flower and fruit. In Hawaii, a crown takes about 20 months to produce a ripe fruit. It may take your plant that long, or longer.

    The roots grow long underground and short above the ground of the soil. It takes three to four years to grow a pineapple.

      It can take 2 years or more. Flowers should show up 15-23 months after it was planted from the crown and it takes 5-7 months from bloom to fruit.

        When i was in school, we grew pineapple plants in our greenhouse.  This is how we did it.  Take the pineapple green top and peel the bottom leaves away till there is a 3 inch stalk.  Place the stalk in the cupboard for 3 days allowing it to dry out.  At the end of 3 days place it in a pot of sand or a good growing medium and start the roots.  Keep the soil moist but not soggy wet and grow for 3 months.  The new pineapple will have a new top on it., but you can not use this top for another pineapple.  You must go to the store for another pineapple top.

        One pineapple plant will continue to produce a pineapple. I've had several at my home and once the pineapple grows and it's picked I leave the existing plant in the ground and wait approximately 2 years for the plant to reproduce the next pineapple. Take the spiny crown off the new pineapple and plant that into the grown and watch it produce another tasty treat. My Father just called me to tell me that the pineapple I gave them was very juicy and delicious. He will plant the top to reproduce.

        I live in SW Florida. I've grown several pineapples through the years. What I have discovered is the pineapple plant grows best in direct sunlight. Water the plant well when you first plant and the pineapple takes care of itself. I do have irrigation so during droughts the plant receives some moisture. Generally in my location it takes approximately 2 years to produce the fruit of a pineapple. I've never fertilized I leave the plant alone and it takes care of itself. I've learned to be patient.
