The number of leaves will be the only indication of their growth. They are planted about the same time. The one on the ground receives full sunlight, the one in pot is in shade half the day, thus a slower growth and greener leaves.<br />Thanks, have a nice day.<br />~bangchikBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-75874279924412770852010-07-29T13:31:16.811+08:002010-07-29T13:31:16.811+08:00Is the plant on the pot and on the ground planted ...Is the plant on the pot and on the ground planted at the same time? If so, i think the one on the pot is not receiving sunlight enough as it is very green, unlike the normal leaves color which are slightly yellowish. Besides, it really grows faster on the ground without restrictions.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-32405995781752618942010-07-29T12:22:05.677+08:002010-07-29T12:22:05.677+08:00How fascinating.

Pandanus and lemon grass share the same growing habit, adding new leaves in a circular fashion and they don't grow tall. Pandanus keeps growing with no real ending, whereas pineapples end with fruiting. Quadrating seedlingd is never the way gardeners would go for due the extra care and attention. Researchers have to resort to breaking them into little bits for ease, identical samples and probably constraint of space as well. Growing plants is a world by itself.<br /><br />Have a great day<br />~bangchikBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-71477645567654924362010-07-29T10:26:01.249+08:002010-07-29T10:26:01.249+08:00Thank you for sharing educational stuff wrt how so...Thank you for sharing educational stuff wrt how some plants grow especially about the part of cutting the pineapple into 4!!!Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919719601969345138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-24737490148037289752010-07-29T10:17:12.300+08:002010-07-29T10:17:12.300+08:00You are right ... the pineapple is an amazing litt...You are right ... the pineapple is an amazing little plant.

In my case I will be more than happy to see fruits as big as big as cricket's ball.<br /><br />Rosey<br />In malaysia pineapples may not get into the list of exotic plants. Its far too common. Not many will grow them in home garden simply because of the thorny leaves and the long wait.<br /><br />Malar<br />It's good to try splitting seedlings and grow them. I will try soon with banana first. You can also try it out since crown is easily available from the market.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Bangchik .Bangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-65238174745366627742010-07-29T09:08:06.710+08:002010-07-29T09:08:06.710+08:00That's interesting to know that pineapples gro...That's interesting to know that pineapples grow well even though they were cut to 4 quadrant!<br /><br />Hope you will have a sweet pineapple by end of the year!Malarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421349464010347804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-67397578258406975102010-07-29T09:02:07.897+08:002010-07-29T09:02:07.897+08:00The only time I ever saw pineapple growing was in ...The only time I ever saw pineapple growing was in Hawaii.
