Paula I just snatch off the top growth, remove alot of the lower leaves, and let it harden off for 2 days. You'll see all the little roots.
And then just plant.
This other pineapple I didnt even harden it off! I just stuck it in the ground back in June. Hey Nate.....to the left of the pineapple is the pretty lil' plant you sent me. Its growing swell!!
Sorry for big pictures, don't know how to make them smaller!
