Thank you! I was very excited to be able to successfully grow a pineapple plant indoors in a window that faces northeast. I wish I had a house with the ability to grow things in ideal conditions so being able to succeed with limited resources makes me very happy.

This is a pic of the window it has lived in for the last 5 years. I’d say it’s about 30 inches wide. My friend has one that is a decent amount larger but he has had it outside in the summer and in a larger pot. Mine has been confined to a smaller pot and treated like a succulent because I just assumed that it would grow the same way for whatever reason by being root bound and stressed a little with infrequent watering.

You’re welcome! For anyone else interested in the story about this pineapple adventure, check my previous posts.

I haven’t cut into it just yet because of a complicated situation with my diabetes but I figured all that out and I will probably have it for breakfast in the morning and then I will update this comment.

Edit: I couldn’t wait, it tasted delicious af!

Yes! I originally cut the top off of a store bought pineapple and planted it and then after many years it grew a new pineapple fruit. The new pineapple is much smaller but the head on this baby is pretty large and healthy.

I hope I can keep the cycle going with this pineapple lineage for many generations to come.

Well I originally propagated the plant from a store bought pineapple almost 5 years ago and it finally began to flower about 4 months ago. Check out my other posts on this sub I think this is the 4th post I’ve made since I first noticed It was starting to flower

I feel like pineapple quality should be the term used to describe ultra high quality pics now like the opposite of potato quality because they are such an impressive thing. I’m going to start describing really nice high quality photos as pineapple quality from now on haha

That’s an incredible story. All of my plants are rescues and because of the shit light situation that I have in my apartment they are all leggy but I have given out so many pups from offshoots and broken off branches that all thrive. It’s like a little orphan village in my windows now. bonus family photo

I stuck this thing in succulent dirt, in that pot, from a right off the top of a grocery store pineapple 5 years ago and figured that it would never have a shot to flower because it’s in a north east facing window, but I always thought it was a cool thing to look at that I kept alive. I’m shocked that it’s actually flowering. I had to share.

Doesn’t matter much to me as far as high score type fulfillment fluff but as someone who likes stats and something to reference information about where I’m at is interesting at least and appreciated for the sake of being knowing. I always love video games that had a full stat page on the options like gta

I agree with the dislike button thing. I’m using wefwef so it’s basically an Apollo clone so I can see my cumulative stats so I guess to me they mean something. I guess everywhere has its own system so it’s a side effect of decentralized community.

This is one thing I’ve been trying to figure out, I keep hearing this a lot. What exactly is different with the upvotes and downvotes? Do they not bury comments and posts or something? Serious question just trying to be informed
