*bump!* Cuz I'm finally getting around to doing this! :D

Mine (I have 3) barely made it through the winter outdoors.

Here they'd be under 2 feet or more of snow!

My mom has a pineapple plant and it took several years before it started producing pineapples. And I don't mean one or two, I mean most of life it didn't produce anything and I'm almost 22. What she did was she cut the top off and pealed off the bottom fronds until she exposed roots, then used a combination of sand and soil, mostly sand, and planted it. it got pretty big. You might want to try doing a bit of research into exactly what pineapple plants like. And as for them belonging in Florida, my mom's was planted and grew in a pot in Connecticut. As well as a six foot orange tree in a pot.

They seem to do pretty good in lava. ;)

Well I've tried a couple so far but they rot and die. I'm going to keep trying though! :)

Too much water, Neige.

Crank back on the water to encourage root growth.

I've heard much the same about rooting an avocado seed, that most will just rot, but the one that does take root is worth the effort.

I have 3 pineapple plants and 3 avocado plants as well. I was given the avocado ones and told they are dif sexes and that maybe if the wind blows just right and I dance naked under the full moon in the front yard they will make babies.

If nothing else you could make a video out of the dance and make some money that way.

Guess I'm different I'm growing a orange tree in NJ

I'm growing a maple tree











.... in the rain gutter. ;)

^ Absolutely no challenge at all. The challenge is, stopping them from growing in the gutter...involves getting on a ladder & cleaning them out, or so I hear :rolleyes2

PF's resorting to gutter tactics again.
