Pineapple Plant
Ananas comosus 'Pygmy Amigo'
Add a touch of tropical warmth to your home!
The Ananas comosus produces a single ornamental fruit at the centre of a crown of delicately coloured foliage. Also known as Dwarf or Miniature Pineapple plants, they have smaller fruits than the pineapples we’re used to seeing in the supermarket. It is grown more as an ornamental plant and the fruit it produces is edible but very bitter. When the pineapple drops off, you should get pups in the soil which you can re-pot and grow into whole new plants.

Pineapple Plant Care Guide
Light
Likes bright light and can survive in direct sunlight, but too much of it will burn its leaves
Water
During the growing season the top 2 cm of soil should be dry between watering. It will need less water in the solder seasons and survive with dryer soil
Temperature
Should be kept in a well-heated room preferably above 15 ºC
Feeding
Enjoys a mix of orchid compost and peat-free multi compost soil
Grooming
Once the fruit fades, it should be snipped off, it should then produce offsets which will take over and become new pineapple plants
Care
Brown leaf tips are a tell-tale sign that the surrounding air is too dry. Snip these ends off and place it on top of a pebble tray to increase humidity
