Growing Information
Grow in bright light near a south-facing window– some direct light is tolerated but be mindful of leaf scorch. Pineapple plants require a warm and sunny position, well away from cold draughts, with a minimum temperature of 15C (59F). If repotting becomes necessary, use a well-drained, neutral or slightly acid orchid compost.
Water regularly between spring and autumn when the first couple of centimetres of compost have dried out, feeding every 2 weeks during the growing season with a balanced houseplant feed. Reduce watering in the winter, keeping the compost barely moist, and avoid draughts.
