You don't need to fly
to Hawaii or go somewhere
tropical to have your very own pineapple tree!
Pineapple was called "anana"
by the natives in Guadeloupe and "Pina de Indes"
by Columbus and the Spanish explorers who discovered
it. Today, the pineapple is one of the best known
of all the tropical fruits.
The pineapple is a member
of the bromeliad family and is related to many ornamental
plants sold in many nurseries, like Spanish moss.
The pineapple is easy to grow if you treat it like
a normal houseplant that needs a brightly lit area
to grow.
Unlike many
fruit plants, the pineapple is well adapted to container
gardening - and the fresh pineapples in your local
supermarket have everything you need to get started!
If you've had trouble
growing any kind of plant in your home, use the methods
outlined in the Pineapple Package to have sweet and
juicy pineapple that you can pick from your own living
room! The Pineapple Package includes: |
