Default Re: My pineapples

For those of you wanting to start baby pineapples, they need constant temps around 75-80 to get started (in your house is best if you live in a colder area) and then transfer them outside when they get established. And they hate cold!

Pineapple Zones: 9 - 11 (Suffers damage at 32°, Freezes at 28° F)

So if you're below zone 9, I wouldn't even put it outside, but in a greenhouse as it will take up to a couple years to get a pineapple. Even in Zone 9b/10a, it will need to be covered at 32F.
