Congratulations! The wait must have been agonizing! Are you going to replace them with fresh suckers after the harvest?

Thanks! Yes, 7 years, lol. One of them produced a pineapple last year, so I'm going to see if I can get them to fruit again next year. I always thought pineapples were one-and-done, but I guess not!

Wait, really?? Looked it up to be certain and they seem not to normally produce multiple pineapples. Treasure that sucker, literally and metaphorically. You might have a million dollar plant on your hands!

I am wondering if maybe it split off a new pineapple plant? I started off with one and it divided itself into 3, so I repotted all of them. Anyway, point being, I know they can divide.

But also, maybe it's because I'm forcing it to flower? After waiting 7 years with no luck I decided to use calcium carbide tablets which worked like a charm.
