Description
Sunlight Requirements: Thriving in bright, indirect sunlight, the pineapple plant prefers a spot near a sunny window or outdoors in partial shade. Ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth..Watering Guidelines: Maintain moderate moisture levels in the soil by watering the pineapple plant thoroughly once a week during the growing season, adjusting frequency based on environmental conditions. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent waterlogging..Soil Requirements: Plant your pineapple in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level (around 5.5 to 6.5). A mix of peat moss, perlite, and sand provides the ideal medium for root development and prevents water stagnation..Temperature and Humidity: Pineapple plants thrive in warm temperatures between 65°F to 95°F (18°C to 35°C). Maintain a consistent room temperature and avoid exposure to cold drafts. Moderate humidity levels are sufficient, but occasional misting can benefit the plant, especially in dry indoor environments..Repotting and Pruning: Repot your pineapple plant into a slightly larger container every 1-2 years to accommodate its growing root system. Prune away dead or yellowing leaves regularly to promote airflow and maintain the plant's compact shape. Additionally, remove any suckers that emerge around the base to encourage the growth of the main fruit-bearing stalk.
