Originating from Brazil and Paraguay, the Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant can reach impressive heights. Outdoor plants can grow to 5-6 feet, while indoor specimens typically stay between 2-3 feet. These plants feature a short stem with a rosette of sword-shaped leaves, adding a unique aesthetic to any space. To ensure healthy growth for your future edible fruit, provide fast-draining, sandy soil, such as a cactus and citrus potting mix with a pH between 4.5 and 6.5.

For optimal fruit production, your Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant needs plenty of light. Place it in a greenhouse, sunroom, or near a large south-facing window. If moving the plant outdoors during the summer, gradually acclimate it to full sun to prevent shock. Maintain indoor temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and bring the plant indoors when temperatures drop below 60 degrees in the autumn. These edible fruit bushes also thrive in humid environments, so consider clustering them with other plants to increase moisture levels.
