No garden needed: grow your pineapple garden without spending a penny from the top of the pineapple
You dream of cultivating your own garden but you don’t have a garden or lack financial means? Good news! You can grow your own pineapple from the top of a pineapple you have already eaten. It is a rewarding and fun experience that can be done easily at home, without spending any penny.
Materials required:
- 1 well ripe pineapple
- Sharp knife
- Planting pot
- Fertility
- Organic fertilizers (optional)
- Water
Steps to follow:
1. Choice of pineapple: Start by buying a ripe pineapple. Make sure it is fresh, of good quality and without rot. The cooler the pineapple, the better your chances of success.
2. Preparation: Cut the upper part of the pineapple, making sure to remove the leaves and get a flat base. You can consume the rest of the pineapple at this point.
3. Removal of lower leaves: Remove some leaves from the bottom so as to remove the rooting stems. This will allow the plant to root more easily in the soil.
4. Insertion of tooth cures: Plant some toothpicks all around the base of the pineapple. They will serve as a support to keep the pineapple in place above the plantation pot.
5. Planting of pineapple: Fill the plantation pot with fertile soil up to a third. Push the base of the pineapple into the earth so that it rests well on the toothpicks. Adjust the soil around the pineapple to keep it straight.
6. Maintenance: Place the pot in a bright place but without direct sunlight. Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but be careful not to water too much to avoid root rot. You can also add a little organic fertilizer once a month to promote plant growth.
7. Patience and Observation: The growth of the pineapple can take several months, so be patient. Keep watching and taking care of your plant regularly. You will soon see roots and new leaves.
8. Harvest: Once your pineapple has grown well and the fruit begins to form, you can harvest it. Wait until the pineapple is fully ripe before picking it. Congratulations, you now have your own fresh pineapple grown at home!
By following these simple steps, you can grow your own pineapple garden without spending a penny. It is a pleasant and rewarding project, perfect for anyone who wants to experience a small-scale gardening experience. So start and grow your own pineapple from the top of the pineapple you planned to throw. You will be surprised to see how easy it is to grow your own exotic fruit!
