I have one or two extra plants that I'm planning to leave outside this fall. Scaling back for now. PM me if you want want one at the cost of shipping....

Pineapple plants do like some what acidic soil.... try using fertilizer for acid loving plants 30-10-10 by miracle gro you will see a big difference in the plants growth and the fruits size.... you only need to feed the plant once a month
