A stunning pineapple plant for the home or the office - yes this really is how they are delivered! The fruit is edible but the real pleasure is the fascination of watching it swell and ripen.
A great gift for the person who has everything! see the left hand menu for more information on ongoing pineapple care. This weeks plants are looking particularly good with a baby pineapple (about the size of a fist) already set and starting to ripen - just as pictured.

Pineapple Plant
Ananas comosus nanus
anana means 'excellent fruit'
Pineapples are low-growing succulents that thrive in tropical climates.
The fruit are smaller than you would normally find in the supermarket but sweet and juicy to eat.
These are surprisingly tough plants which just need water, warmth and light. They will be more than happy on a sunny windowsill where the fruit will slowly ripen ready for eating. Once the first fruit has been harvested it can take up to 3 years for another flower spike to develop, flower, fruit and ripen ready for harvesting.
The Pineapple originated in South America and was introduced to the west by Christopher Columbus in 1843. In Victorian England it was a rare and exotic treat served as the crowning glory in many a royal feast.
Season: Jan to Dec
Fresh pineapple cannot be beaten, serve au natural, with yoghurt, cream or icecream.

How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Pineapple Plant
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Pineapple is one of the world's most unique and exotic tropical fruits, However with a little care you can get a pineapple plant to ripen a fruit indoors.
Light is very important to ripen the fruit. Try and keep your plant near a window or skylight or in a porch or conservatory. On sunny days you can put it outside on a patio or balcony. This is a tropical plant that prefers warmth. A cool room is fine, but a draughty porch or a frosty conservatory is not. If it gets below 8ºC your plant will suffer.
Once you have harvested and enjoyed your fruit a little care and patience can get your plant to fruit again. The original fruit stem will wither and die off and then can be trimmed down but over time suckers or slips should start to develop from the base of the plant. These new shoots will slowly develop into a dramatic flower spike and eventually another ‘ratoon’ pineapple.
It is unlikely that you will get any pests or diseases, but if you do just wash the leaves with soapy water
The fruit is ripe when it becomes golden at least half way up. This could take quite a long time, but the longer you wait the sweeter the fruit will be.
