Description

Here's a real novelty indoor plant that will provide interest every day as you see your own deliciously sweet pineapple develop atop this well-established, potted plant.

A member of the Bromeliad family, it's the perfect indoor plant for a sunny kitchen or conservatory windowsill, needing little care and attention save for a little water and the occasional feed, as needed.

The plants are exactly the same as those used in commercial pineapple plantations across the world, so you can be assured of the best tasting fruit - right here in the UK on your windowsill. Do not confuse these big specimens with tiny decorative, non-edible plant available elsewhere online.

Each plant is delivered with a pineapple fruit already growing so your plant is guaranteed to fruit this year. For best results water the compost keeping it moist and also keep a little water in the cups of the leaf rosette.

When the pineapple is plump and ripe, about the size of an orange, remove it from the plant and enjoy! Once the fruit is removed, an offset will appear which may fruit in following years and an entirely new plant can even be raised by cutting off the leaf crown and planting in compost.

Supplied as an established plant in a 14cm nursery pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips

As your plant matures, it may begin sending offshoots from the base. These can be carefully removed and potted up individually.

Care Information

Pineapples prefer full sun, so give them plenty of light.
Water your plant regularly and don't allow it to dry out. Being tropical, pineapples will not grow in cooler, drier weather, although never allow them to sit in water. Your pineapple should be watered from the top like other bromeliads.
Feed with a weak (1/4 strength) liquid fertilizer throughout the growing season.
