The Joy Of Growing Pineapples - How To Grow Pineapple Plants In Containers - Part 2 

Best Fruit Fertilizer For Pineapples: amzn.to/2DXXVQc

The most exciting thing is no matter how many years I've been gardening, the first sign of life after sowing a seed and watering it carefully brings me such Joy! As though I'm so proud that it worked! Silly maybe, but it's the best therapy 😊

Gardening healed my broken soul. A lot of my education came from you. Before I started gardening 3 years ago I had never ventured into the garden before. Now I have a wee food forest 🌳 to love and care for.

There is no better feeling than planting a seed and picking the fresh veg that grows from that seed. Picking a bean right off the vine and eating it.

I got my first home grown pineapple, and now have 8 plants in pots around my garden.

We DO know what you are talking about! Gardening is what feeds me and I don't just mean the healthy and tasty food! Having my hands in the dirt, raising seedlings, harvesting - all feed my soul.

To me, it's totally worth the wait. I basically just plant it and forget it, except I water it when I'm watering my other plants and lightly fertilize it once in a while. Pineapple plants, to me, in my climate, have been easy to grow so far.

I have grown pineapples for years. I live in northern florida. I have over a dozen plants growing and have started many other plants and given them to family, friends & neighbors. Everyone gets so excited when they get a pineapple on the plant and can finally cut it and eat it. It takes a long time to get a pineapple, but soooo worth the wait. Our last two were soooo sweet!

Great looking pineapples. I've got one that I'm hoping will give me my first pineapple later this year. Having a hobby that makes money may be nice. But having a hobby (like gardening) that keeps me sane is priceless. Garden On everyone.

It's really not about the price, there is Joy in planting, tending, praising God for His greatness in Nature, and watching your fruits etc mature.thank you sir.

Gardening is very relaxing, and gives you joy watching others enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I watch these videos, while living in a 1 bedroom appartment, with no room for plants besides a few flowers.. can’t wait to have my dream garden/greenhouse.

gonna grow pineapples as long term motivation to keep being alive

I had planted 3 plants after watching your first video. Thanks for all the valuable information that you give us. Your videos encouraged me to extend my garden and plant more veggies. I Whole heartedly thank you.

I love how he asked for cutting techniques, thanked everyone for their suggestions to cut the pineapple, to still cut it the same way... 😂

Take all the skin and boil it. You'll get a pineapple "tea"/water, that's actually pretty tasty. Put it in a big pitcher and keep in in the fridge. Add a little water to dilute it depending on how strong it was. Great to just drink, but I bet you could do some cooking with it or something. Pineapple rice, I don't know, I just drink it. THEN, after you've boiled it, you can put the scraps into your compost.

Gardening is stress therapy.....such a joy to walk in my backyard garden to see what's growing....the joy of gardening cannot be expressed in words.

Thank you for taking soo much of your time (years) to do this video for us. I really appreciate it. May God bless you and your family.

I just started gardening last year and I'm loving it. I'm getting beautiful tomatoes, strawberries, green onion, parsley, rainbow carrots, pink lady radishes, and watermelon. I've also started a lemon tree from seeds. Gardening is so peaceful, and it's wonderful to watch something grow from a seed and know that all your work and love is making a beautiful fruit or veggie we can share. I love your videos they are so helpful.

I've never had a more fulfilling hobby than gardening :) I started my garden after watching your videos and I love it! I've now harvested tomatoes, spinach, herbs, capsicum, radish, zuchinni and cucumber! Thanks for such great, inspirational videos :)

Thank you! Love to plant my food and harvest them. Love the reward. What a blessing from our creator! 👍🏽

I love gardening. It helps me to control my anger and keeps me away from trouble. And what's even better is when u try something new or strange in your garden, you're always anxious to see or taste the result.

Thank you for posting this video; I’m absolutely fascinated by what you’ve shown us. Everything I’ve ever read has always said that a pineapple doesn’t fruit after the plant produces a single fruit and that you have to keep replanting pineapple plants to get more fruit.

I planted a pineapple crown after watching your previous video, I love seeing it grow, it's totally worth the wait. Not just pineapples, i literally started my balcony garden after watching your videos. Thank you so much!

I'm a Californian living in South America so I can grow similar things. I have a small garden but plan to add pineapple. THANKs amigo. I subscribed and I'll watch for part 3

Apart from the joy one derives from getting plants to grow and produce, i find the whole exercise to be very therapeutic, not only physically, but spiritually as well. Thank you for sharing your experience.

One thing I love about gardening is the taste! It's just always more fresh! Thank you again!

I'm growing pineapples and two out of five are flowering! I'm so exited 😀 I had planted just one years ago and it gave me a huge pineapple a bit over a year ago. The mother took like 3 years to flower, but her side shoots I planted only took a bit over a year and Im hoping to get equally delicious pineapples soon! Someone told me one they flower they don't flower again so I discarded the mother. If only I knew it would flower again and the second would be larger, dang! I really regret getting rid of it 😕

I love gardening. I feel connected to nature. Great video California Gardening! I enjoyed it. Happy gardening.

I love gardening , it’s a beautiful feeling seeing your food grow. A Blessing from God.

I love gardening!!! I'm gonna start my first ever pineapple plant today, and I don't even eat them!! Part 1 & Part 2 of this video are both BRILLIANT!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Thank you . I love gardening 😍 I've grown two pineapple plants off the tops of store bought pineapples.

Gardening is my favorite hobby. I don't do it for the quantity, I do it for the qualilty.

You are absolutely right Gardening is something else Not about money It gives peace to me

I love putting a seed into the ground, nurturing it, and waiting to see the fruits of my efforts! I'm a "farmer" at heart...love gardening and raising ducks, enjoying their eggs, too. Thank you! I love watching and waiting to see what happens to my lovely pineapple plant. 👍

Yes , i love gardening i been do it since very young, 75 years old now, still doing my best, i have over 200 pots ,in my yard and on ROOF area. Enjoy it , i love it.

It's a joy top watch your pineapple grow. To see it become a full grow plant and than flower and fruit is amazing. Thanks for the follow up video.

This is awesome. I've planted one and it's growing good. This Spring it would be 2 years old but where I live in Macedonia we have cold snowy winters so I keep it at home durring the winter. This Summer I expectt it to bloom.

I love gardening! I have a gift called “plant empathy”. I can “feel” or “hear” plants and know what they need to live and what makes them happy. Touching plants or being in a forest is the most soothing thing ever. I love getting my hands in the dirt, and there are actually bacteria (good ones) that live in dirt and reduce depression when they come in contact with our skin.

I loved all of your videos and very great therapeutic information indeed it is very rewarding and I definitely have to try this out one day and thank you so very much for showing me and everyone about this really great information you really should think about writing a book about this so people could have a really good book to reference on it with maybe some other tips that you may have not shared with us because I would definitely would love to buy a book about doing this and where the book could walk you through the steps and the months and coming years of care for it. I feel that a book that you could write about this would definitely benefit everyone other then just videos on it. Have you ever thought about writing a book on this type of secret? I sure would hope that you do write a book about it because you can take the book anywhere and use it as a very great reference to read unlike you can with a video. Especially when it comes to newbies who don't know anything about gardening and/or creative thinking ideas such as yours!. Anyway love all of your videos and thank you so very much for sharing its truly therapeutic and gives great closeness to mother nature and god!.. Many bleedings to you!!..

All my life I’ve had a black thumb, and every plant I touched would die. Last year I decided to try my luck with an orchid, and not only did I keep it alive for a whole year, I got new blooms! I got so excited that I decided to plant a garden and checking on my fruits and vegetables every day and harvesting the beautiful and delicious “fruits of my labor” has been the most fulfilling feeling ever! Right now I’m growing my first ever pineapple plant, and two avocado pits. I’m so looking forward to harvesting their fruits in a few years. Of course I will continue to purchase grocery store fruits until then, but having fruits that I have grown myself if so exciting. Your videos have been very inspirational to me. Thank you so much for the informative and inspiring videos you make.

Today I am going to try to grow my own pineapple thank you for this fantastic video! I love being connected and gardening,maybe I won't get fruit because I lost be in Wales UK and the weather is not so good but to just be able to grow the plant will be enough! Thank you and bless you 👍 great job

Of course it is worth it!!! I love gardening.

OMG! Congratulations Mama Pineapple on your two little twins! :D

I don't love gardening but I love fresh fruits and veggies! Who's with me?

I love gardening! What a great feeling to eat what you have grown. I was raised on a farm, so I know the work, the meaning, the patience about vegetables, & having cows. 😊 This was instilled in me as a child, & I'm so grateful to have had the parents I did. TFS your Awesome vids.

I started my first garden this year and it is doing very well! I'm growing squash, watermelon, Swiss chard, okra, carrots, and corn. I just find it so rewarding and healing and it's really such an amazing thing. It makes me so happy and whole. I really do understand how positive of an affect that growing something like pineapple that takes years to grow can be. I will try this soon! Thanks so much for making me feel not alone in my passion for gardening. Love your videos

I agree on all the positive comments below. I simply enjoy the process of assisting the creation. Strong connection and more respect for nature!

Not only enjoy gardening but also just watering my lawn. Never installed sprinklers as that would take away my meditation time.. Planting a variety of plants watching them mature and flower is something to be proud of.. When i do a landscape job and a neighbor stops by to thank me for turning an ugly yard into something to admire its very rewarding. I was a carpenter and can still vistit barns and classrooms i built 30 years ago. Now landscape is the same great feeling when i drive by a past job.

Thanks, @California Gardening ! What I love about gardening... getting in the dirt seeing the worms and other tiny little creatures and ecosystems that live there in symbiosis. I love learning how to nurture a plant, watching it respond to the nourishment I give it then, watching it produce and grow something beautiful and nourishing to give back ! Each plant is so unique and fascinating in so many ways, so much design screams out from each one. There's so much to love of a garden. I believe in a personal creator of all things and am reminded of how I am created in his image in that I love to nurture, guide and appreciate my garden as a whole and each individual plant. If it is responsive, I am motivated to continue nurturing it as I am. When it isn't, I try everything I can think of to give it what it needs to thrive, and feel sad when it won't. Even if a person doesn't believe in a creator, once they work one and ponder at all, they'd HAVE to be astounded at the beauty, behavior, diversity and all over wonderment of a garden.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Gardening has been a refuge for me since I was a small child; it is something sacred, akin to meditation for me, in an attitude of worship it is. I had one pineapple top that rooted and grew over the last summer. I protected it close to the house on the sunniest side over Winter, then we had an early false spring that caused it it burst into growth action , but it turned cold again and the center of the plant rotted out and the growing tip was lost. I kept caring for it in the hope it would form some kind of side shoot and yesterday looking closely I could count three fat shoots forming on the sides. I re-potted it in fresh, good cactus mix potting soil with grit for drainage. Another discovery that amazed me, when I was cutting the pineapple from which this top originally came, I noticed small bodies just under the skin of the fruit and pricked them out carefully. They inspired me to research, and sure enough they were pineapple seeds. I learned that commercial growers clone instead of using seed because the clone is a known and sure thing. However, you certainly can plant the seeds to grow pineapples and maybe even get a new and better variety. One of my coworkers years ago told me how her Grandmother would always save the juice and skin of the fruit when preparing them and then ferment it a few days to get a nice pineapple cider called Tepache as a treat instead of tossing the waste to the compost pile immediately.

that is a well grown pineapple..it is really a joy seeing the growing process of the pineapple and enjoy the fruit of the labour.

ThanQ for sharing growing tips, i just planted my first pineapple today

Thank you for keeping new gardener like me inspired . Yes home grown food is better and tastier but who cares I just love doing gardening.

Grew up gardening with my grandparents and now raising my children with a love for gardening. We just tried to grow a pineapple plant.

I'm one of those people who love gardening!...love this video!

I LOVE GARDENING! I have never grown a pineapple, but will do so next time I buy a pineapple. Thank you for showing us how. Loved both your videos! :-)

Love gardening! Pineapples from the store are harvested too early, getting it from your garden you can pick at the perfect time

Wow what a beautiful pineapple

I'm glad i watched this video i did not know that the mother plant continues to bear fruit. The satisfaction of seeing the fruits of your labour is better than going into any supermarket and buying that item

These are the most beautiful pineapples I've ever seen. I think that should answer anyone's question on why to grow them. I want to try growing them now and I don't even garden lol.

It really worth the wait. Gardening is one of the sweetest thing on earth

I just started growing. My first plant was a sunflower. It's grown so much I can't wait to watch it bloom. I can definitely say it has brought me great joy and it's been an amazing bonding experience with my daughter. She loves to help me water them. So I believe this will is a hobby we will share for a lifetime. 😄 Our next step is making our own compost. I look forward to binge-watching your videos to see what I find!

Your first video inspired me to plant a pineapple about a year ago. While there is no sign of fruit yet, the plant itself is thriving beautifully! Thank you so much for posting a follow up! Also, I am glad you addressed the comments about the wait time-patience truly is a virtue.

I support your positive hobby! Nothing beats the feeling when you finally taste the sweetness of joy right from your own back yard! Yes, it's worth it! 🤩

I started enjoying gardening until last year. I have since planted okras, a pineapple (thanks to this channel), a lot of ornamental plants and hopefully more vegetables and fruit trees too. I feel connected to nature and it always amazes me how fruits grow from plants you started from cuttings or seeds.

Fruit and vegetables grown at home always taste a LOT better. It is hard to explain, but once you taste home grown food you will know it is well worth the effort. It is also a good hobby that is more productive than some others (at least to me). I am planning on selling my house and buying a larger lot so I can have a small farm. Most of my life I have worked with computers and repairing/designing electronics. Now I want to spend my days outside and appreciate and commune with nature. I appreciate and enjoy home grown food. Thank you for the videos, keep them coming!

I've got 9-10 pineapple plants in my 3rd yr and right away I got 4 my 1st yr and I told all my friends that if they like gardening like me or not much grow pineapples not only are they really low maintenance but they taste delicious so much better than from the store! If you happen to read this let me know if you can taste the difference I find they don't have that real acidic taste you get from the store I can eat a whole 1 and not have it burn my tongue at all! And the sweetness juiciness flavor and even the color is 10x better than the stores ! A easy delicious plant that doesn't need much attention and like you said I've never had any problems with diseases of any sort! Homegrown pineapples a 10 out of 10 plant delish!

Your videos are so inspiring! I have tried growing pineapples and was not successful. This year I will be trying it again and yes, It is worth the wait. Thank you very much for this video.

I'm not a Gardener, only started this year cuz the world shut down and I needed something to do. I'm not sure that I love gardening yet, but your video has inspired me to add a pineapple plant to my garden!

Absolutely, only a gardener can understand the joy of gardening...

we love gardening.

Always look forward to your next video, they are the best on RU-vid! My favorite part about gardening are my 17 fruit trees. I love tending to them, and the harvest they bring is super satisfying and delicious! From drying to canning, fancy cocktails, baking, etc. My family and friends benefit from my southern California backyard!

I love gardening, I have alway had a garden . It's awesome to see things grow , it form of exercise, it helps with stress of life ,it teaches things of life , I could go on . Has long has I am able I will be gardening, even its only in one pot . Thanks for the lesson, Jackie of Jamaica

Great tutorial on growing pineapples. Love watching your videos and great information ...

Wonderful job educating us! Thank You so much for your time and explanations about growing. My mouth is watering! I have 3 growing.. wish me luck!

I have a new appreciation for pineapples. We’re currently growing one in my apartment. I had no clue it would take so long to produce.

Loved your love and patience in making these two videos, have been growing several pineapple plants in Utah from tops, and have enjoy seeing their growth, this year should give me a pineapple and I can’t wait, have a whole group of kids and grandkids audience the growth and interested in growing them too. Your videos have been very informative and helpful, thanks again!

Your passion rocks. My son always grows a few edible plants each season. This winter in Southern California he grew cabbage. That was so delicious, no bitterness to it or the broccoli he grew. Each person I saved it to raved about it, not knowing it was from the garden. Our food dies taste better when grown without pesticides. Keep inspiring 👍💛👍💛👍.

i love gardening i now planted 123plants.Thank for all the advice i got just watching RU-vid. Have a great day

Nothing like eating what you grow. Totally organic & you know where it came from.

Another 'activity' to add to my hobbies when I retire. - Brisk walking or hiking -Table tennis(retired in tennis, bad knee 😢) - golf. (just starting to learn, im still in driving range) - Fishing - Gardening!, starting with lemons, avocados, anddd pineapples !! (just suscribed👍😎😎😎)

I love the freshness of home grown food. I live in San Diego county, 2 pineapples!!!!!!! So excited, can’t wait to harvest!!! Thank you for this series, extremely helpful.

Yes ur right I LOVE gardening. It makes me feel so good. Its amazing to watch it grow and eat something u grew. Thanks for the video.

I love gardening and never thought to plant pineapples but I am now. Thanks for the inspiration.

The most satisfying experience I have ever had was when I set down for dinner and realized that everything thing on my plate I grew and raised!! We process our own meat and grow our own veggies.

Stay positive and keep encouraged. I completely respect and understand your enjoyment of gardening. Wonderful! Kudos to you!

I love gardening as well! I grow tones of exotic fruits indoors like Starfruit,, lychee, cacao, bananas, papaya, jackfruit and other cool plants

Thank you for the nice video! How narrow minded are people who comment that you can easily just buy a pineapple at store..The love and care that you invests in your own plant is priceless. And I am sure that your self growled fruits are essentially better, healthier and sweeter than mass-produced ones. 😍👍🏻

Thank you for your patience to share. Ur awesome. I love pineapples n have been eating for 70+ years. God bless u

I love your channel. I am gardening on my patio. Tomatoes.. Potatoes and grapes. I also carrots..radishes and green onions.

Home grown pineapple are more sweet to me. They have a very nice flavor.

I love the first root that show up! Gives me such a good feeling!

Thank you for uploading the present....plants...... YEAAAAAAA I just started one !!! THANK YOU !!

I love gardening. You're doing great things. Keep on posting more videos. I love them.

I love gardening because I want organic food, I want food security, and I enjoy the process of learning, experiementing, and growing endless plants, vegetables, fruits, trees, and scrubs. The process never ends.

I love gardening and I can't explain that in words.

Iam new to gardening and this is going to be my second season and im so thankful that i started gardening I get so much joy out of it and it really has taught me the meaning of patience

I love nature and gardening!!!!!

I enjoy being in the garden. I like seeing plants grow and this video makes me happy to learn
