Today, I potted up a purple passion plant, a Josephs coat, and a sad lil' prince from lowes.
Cookiecows, just tear that top right off that pineapple, strip all the lower leaves off till you see the roots.
Once you see the roots, take off 2 more rows of leaves. It wont hurt the plant. You might have to take off another row of leaves so you have enough stalk to stick in the dirt. If you have some leaves below the dirt, they will rot!
You dont want that, so take off enough lower leaves.
Then stick it right in the dirt! Pack the soil tightly around the stem, and up to the last leaves. Water well and leave it alone.
Place it where you want it to grow. If you pick the pot up often it wont root well, because you'll cause it to have spaces around the stalk where the dirt is, or it will fall over. You want to keep the dirt tightly packed around the stem. Water about every 2wks in winter. Hope this helps. Heres mine...........
