Pineapples are one of our favorite fruits. They’re not only delicious insmoothie bowls, cocktails andgrilled with meat, but they can alsoboost immunity, build bone strength and help you shed fat. So why not have your own pineapple plant to keep your favorite fruit at the ready?
How to Grow a Pineapple—All You Need Is a Pineapple!
We were excited when we sawpineapple plants on Home Depot’s website, but sadly they were sold out! But, fear not, we discovered these adorablepineapple plants on Etsy for just $10—and the ones we found, you can actually eat! (The Home Depot ones are purely ornamental.)
One reviewer said: “Plant arrived healthy and ready to go! Took off as soon as I got it replanted.” Other reviewers mention that the store offers fast shopping (7-10 days) and includes a helpful care card for the plant.
The pineapple plants are shipped in 6-ounce pots. The description says, “In order to give you the most value for your money we try to keep our plants between 3 and 8 inches high because they will grow rapidly to full size after you receive them. This affords you the greatest value for your money and keeps your shipping costs to a minimum.”
This pineapple plant will grow 1-3 feet high, needs partial to full sun and has average watering needs. It’s hardy in zones 9-11 (the description mentions it can handle temperatures down to the mid-30s without suffering from any internal damage).
The plant is ready to ship in 7-10 days and there’s a flat $7 shipping charge for the first plant. If you want to grow multiple pineapples (um, duh!), each additional plant costs just $.50 to ship.
Now you just need some potting soil and a few cheery yellow pots to put your pineapple plants in. Voila! You’re ready for warmer weather and apiña colada.
