Re: I must have the worlds only pineapple top that won't sprout
I twist the tops off, trim the fruit off and peel the leaves off to above the little root nubs so they can be down far enough in the water without the leaves getting in the water. I use a little jelly jar and change the water everyday to keep air flow in it. I rooted one once directly into dirt and it worked also but now I always just have a jelly jar of water sitting on my kitchen counter near the window with a pineapple top in it. Lazy me...the one I have now is so root bound the roots are rounded into the shape of the glass. I've GOT to get it planted!!
