Plant your pineapple crowns

I learned this in Costa Rica. Don't throw away your pineapple crowns. Twist them off and plant them. After a few days roots will start to emerge and anchor the plant. After a few years, when the plant is large it will flower and fruit. It's a tropical plant so If you live in a temperate climate grow them indoors. Ours have already grown quite a bit after just a few months.

here's a website with more information:
