"I have tried pineapple tops but they never work for me. lol"

Some say to cut the top off a store bought pineapple and stick it in the ground, that never worked for me here in south Florida. Every one I started in a cup of water has grown and within a few years has given me a delicious albeit small fruit.

If you use a cup, make sure its clear glass so you can see when it needs water, cut the top way up high till you see little round dots in the meat, do not let the bottom get dry and change the water every week.

Once in the ground they don't do well with neglect. Water and fertilize like every other tropical. Mine are in partial shade except summer when it gets full sun.
