I have this type, but it has never flowered. I just put it in the ground this winter and it seems to be growing faster now.

Looks good. I planted two pineapple plants about a year ago and they are the exact same size. I don't think they have grown at all.

Here is one from the Miami Fruit and spice park flowering.


Mine gets more pink with shade, the more sun I give it the pink seems to fade away.

Good thing I didn't listen to my mom then; she was adamant about them preferring shade

Mine are yellow as all get-out though, and don't seem to be doing much in the way of roots. Any clues as to why that might be?
