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.
