I have no idea if they are edible or what will happen to the plant after the pineapples are full grown.... but I am impressed that something like this is growing in my home!
My other favorite plant is my hibiscus. I bought this plant when my parents were here in March. Hibiscus plants grow all over Okinawa, so I thought I would try to grow one myself. It's really not doing so badly!
There is newer growth at the top, so I think there will be many blooms there in the next week. Today there were just a few pink blooms at the bottom.

Well, I think you have a green thumb. Maybe you can come over and nurse our plants to life! I really like the pineapple plant....makes me want to go out and buy one.
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot to answer your question about the pineapple plant...so sorry :^( I think I had been told that they aren't edible - but hey, why not be adventurous and try?
ReplyDeleteYou can take the "pineapples" off and start a new plant. Just put the "apple" part in the dirt and leave the "leaves" exposed above. That's how that plant got started. They are also fun to pass along to friends to start their own :^)
I saw a "pineapple" plant at Wal-mart today for $16. I like the price for them in Oki better :^)
