Is this your pineapple you have? If so, I am interested in the answer too! Unlike my smaller red ornamentals, mine has not pupped once either!

Photo, Bihai?

Hi Bihai & Junglegal :^)

Here in our Chatuchak Plant Market, Bangkok, Thailand,
we have some cultivars of Pineapple with variegated leaf.
I could show you with some pics I took this morning.

The plant forms pups both from fruit head and the leaf axil.

Another form, a kind of crested head.

Very nice photos, Stephania. I hope to acquire some of this proliferous plant some day. I saw some in Florida last year, but they were pricey!

Its really foggy outside and the light is bad but I will see if I can get a photo. Mine looks like Junglegals...(and I have the same red one too!) Its extremely spiney and wicked and very very large.

Bihai,

There's a good chance you may have gotten that red one from me during one of our trades. I always throw extra pups in my trade boxes, I get so many. I actually got it from Bill in Cape Coral years back. My red one at least grows more upward than outward so it doesn't bit as much when you knock into it. It also does not have teeth, just very very pointy painful ends. The giant variegated is another story with the teeth. Ouch!

Some more pics!

Okay I got a photo. I will post it as soon as I get it into photobucket

After seeing everyone else's photos which are just fabulous, I feel kinda anticlimactic showing mine!

My not so big variegated pineapple.

I wanted to bump this up. I'm still interested in the answer to Bihai's question about the pupping habits of these plants
