Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant 3-Pack – Kona Pineapple Starter Plant – Edible Fruit Bush

Grow Your Own Sweet Sugarloaf Pineapples

Enjoy the taste of the tropics with your very own Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant. This offer includes three Kona Sugarloaf Ananas comosus starter plants, perfect for growing your own delicious and edible pineapples. Native to Brazil and Paraguay, these plants can thrive both indoors and outdoors, bringing a touch of the exotic to your home or garden.

An outdoor pineapple plant can reach 5 to 6 feet in height, while an indoor plant typically stays between 2 and 3 feet. These plants feature a short stem with a rosette of spiny, sword-shaped leaves. To ensure healthy growth and fruit production, it’s essential to provide the right conditions. Use fast-draining, sandy soil to prevent root rot, and aim for a soil pH between 4.5 and 6.5. A cactus and citrus potting mix works well, or you can use a cymbidium orchid mix. Alternatively, combine one part peat moss, one part coarse builder’s sand, and one part perlite.

To encourage fruiting, provide your Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant with as much light as possible. A greenhouse, sunroom, or south-facing window are ideal locations. If moving the plant outdoors during the summer, gradually acclimate it to full sun to avoid leaf burn. Maintain indoor temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit and bring the plant indoors when temperatures drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Pineapples thrive in humid environments, so cluster them with other plants to increase moisture levels.
