I have begun a pineapple area and have been adding to it as suckers and pups develop. Now I thought I would try a top from a store bought variety. This is marketed as a Guatemalan Gold or something like that. The leaves are smooth meaning no serrations, teeth, along them. I cut off the top and trimmed any fruit material off. Let this top air dry for a couple of days. Then peel off several rows of base leaves. Place stripped end into some loose potting material and water-in. Place in shady well ventilated area and keep moist. Weeks later the center leaves wilted and I removed them, new leaves followed from the center, now it's growing. This was started in January.
