Growing Pineaples
Hello
I have been trying to grow a pineapple, I saw recently how to twist off the top peel off the lower leaves until small root tips can be seen and then suspending the end in a jar of water.
This I have done several times only for the top to die off after a few days. Has anybody got any tips please

Is it in a warm place but not direct sunlight?
A lot of the pineapples in the SM have had the central growing tip removed. Look carefully at the centre of the crown of leaves: the leaves should get smaller and smaller and fill the middle. You will probably not succeed if there is just a hole in the centre. I would go with the gritty compost too, it will need warmth and careful watering.
