In August 2006 I began my little project of creating pineapple plants. I now have about 10 big bushy plants - about 2-3 feet across. They have come inside for the winter and will go back out in April or so. They have so-so sunny spots indoors and don't appear to grow much during the winter - just dormant.

I think these are probably big enough to induce flowering in the spring. It takes about 6 months from induction to a pineapple, correct? So if I induce them in April just prior to going outside, I should have ripe fruit by October or so, right?

Any tips on this? Thanks
