The plant that bore fruit will die, then little "pups" will come up around the bottom. You can take them off and pot them separately, once they are big enough, or you can just leave them and let them grow. There may only be one pup, but that's o.k. These pups will grow to bear fruit in about a year.

I always leave one on the original plant and take the others off and put them elsewhere. You can put them in the ground where you are. They actuallly do better in the ground.

Soon, if you plant all the pups of all the plants through the years, you will have a pineapple plantation. If you want more plants, ask the produce person at Pubix is they have any tops. They prepare their own peeled, whole pineapple, and they just toss the tops out, but they will save them for you (sometimes) and call you when they have some (depending on the produce dept. Most will) when they have some.

The ones we have are in the ground and are huge. I was hoping to move them but if they fruit on a year then it's probably best to leave them alone until they bear their fruit, them just move any pups they have.

They're easy to move (other than being huge and prickly) and since they're bromeliads, it doesn't hurt them much to disturb their roots. Go ahead and move them. I've moved bromeliads all times of year with no problem.

Great awesome to hear! I'll be moving them ASAP!
