The pineapple plant is usually characterized by its exotic appearance and considerable size. Here you can find out exactly what kind of growth you should expect.
How big can a pineapple plant get?
The size of a pineapple plant varies between 60 and 150 cm, while it can grow up to half a meter wide. The ornamental pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a smaller variant that is suitable as a houseplant, among other things.
How big can the pineapple plant get?
The pineapple grows between60and150 cm. If you keep the bromeliad plant from South America as a houseplant, you will have a fairly large plant at your disposal. Since the pineapple does not tolerate cold temperatures, in our regions it is kept indoors during the winter or all year round.
How wide does the pineapple plant get?
The plant can easily reach ahalf meter width. This width is due to the long leaves that form a wide circle. The broad leaves should have enough space as they help nourish the plant. So you need a sufficiently large space for a real pineapple.
Which pineapple stays small?
With the ornamental pineapple (Ananas comosus), you also have a variety with limited size available. The plant is also known as indoor pineapple. A pineapple fruit also grows on the ornamental pineapple, but it is not edible. However, thanks to its beautiful appearance, the ornamental pineapple is a popular houseplant. It is also often used as a gift.
Tip
Use large pot
Offer pineapple plants enough space in the pot (€29.00 on Amazon) and fertilize the bromeliad plant in the summer months. Substantial roots form under the plant. Only if they provide the pineapple with proper care will it grow to its full size.
