pineapple crown rooting.
I am not too sure if there are more leaves now, but both of us agree that the plant is a lot bigger that the little crown we took home weeks ago. I fall victim to the inquisitive mind of a child too, because the other day I poked the soil a little bit to see the root. Yes!.., the crown is really rooting.

LOL! I would have had to peek too Bangchik. LOL! It is going to be fun to watch it grow with you.
ReplyDeleteBangchik, I am seething with loathing and envy :) I tried to grow a pineapple crown this spring and finally gave up and threw it out yesterday. What did you do that I didn't ???
ReplyDeleteIt looks big and lush, and must be well rooted. Lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteOH, that is going to be a delectable masterpiece, I can see and taste it already :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that will be... to pick your own fresh Pineapple! It does look very happy and thriving. Hope to see the progression in later posts. ;>)
ReplyDeletecool! I would love to see updates on this guy!
ReplyDeleteThat's fast Bangchik! I hope the fruit will be fast growing as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is the best feeling when something you plant takes root.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your pineapple! I wish i could grow one here! Pineapple is one of my all time favorite fruits.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, i sometimes poke at cuttings too! It looks like it is not very hot anymore in Putrajaya, unlike here where the rain is still far away as the clouds are there but not yet heavy. Only thyphoon makes rain come sooner here. You know what! The slip or the shoot under the fruit grows or fruits faster than the crown even if the slip looks smaller at first. You can experiment a bit, and its fun!
ReplyDeleteThat will be so awesome! I tried this once, but the crown was rotting, not rooting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post...I agree with you - I always poke, wiggle, and even dig up a little to check the roots! Silly, but I can't help it! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on it taking root! It's so nice when nature cooperates to help make our wishes come true!
ReplyDeleteFriends, Bloggers and Gardeners, thanks to the visits and encouraging comments.
ReplyDeleteThe child in each of us, may in the end makes us do many things, crazy, creative and funny. All moved by the inquisitive minds. So is checking the roots.
I just hope the pineapple will continue growing. The wait is too long, around a year, therefore anything can happen.
have a nice day
