Growing a Pineapple Entry 3

After two weeks in the glass of water, the pineapple crown had grown decently long roots as shown in this picture:
We had a medium sized pot (8" diameter) available as well as some potting soil, so I filled that and made a small depression for the new plant:

And here is the planted pineapple crown:

After a couple of months, this will need to be reported into a 12" pot.  By then I should be needing to repot the avocado trees, which are currently occupying that size pot.

Growing a Pineapple Entry 2

Update on the pineapple.  At this point it has been 6 days since I started the pineapple in the glass, and now it has started to grow a few roots from the root nubs.  I will probably be potting it sometime this week.
