[baron]

Well I have managed to cultivate a pineapple plant from the top of a pineapple had loads of attempts over the years and finally done it
Its in its early stages and as it develops I will take photos and post them [fingers crossed]

Pick a healthy pineapple with lots of top make sure the core is not rotted
cut all the fruit off and the strip the leaves back to about 8, at this stage I let it dry out for a day,
put it in a water[ I did this for about four weeks keep changing the water as it goes cloudy]
small root nodules started to appear. it also looked like it was rotting in part!!!, so I took it out the water scraped off the pappy bits put it in sandy compost and watched it.
Its taken about 3 months to get to its current stage
