Ananas comosus – Bromeliad / Pineapple Plant
A unique and tropical addition to any indoor garden, Ananas comosus, commonly known as the Pineapple Plant, is admired for its spiky rosette of blue-green leaves and the potential to produce small, decorative fruits. This bromeliad adds architectural interest with its upright, symmetrical form and can serve as a striking centerpiece for shelves, tables, or bright windowsills.
While it may take time to produce fruit indoors, its exotic foliage alone makes it a conversation-worthy plant. The plant thrives in bright light and moderate humidity, embodying a true tropical aesthetic.
Care Requirements
• Light: Bright, indirect light to full sun. More light encourages stronger growth and potential flowering.
• Water: Keep the central cup filled and water the soil lightly. Ensure well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity; mist occasionally if indoors in dry air.
• Growth Habit: Upright rosette of stiff, spiky leaves; can produce small fruit with proper care and time.
Pet Safety
Ananas comosus is non-toxic to pets, but its spiny leaves can cause physical injury if handled carelessly. Keep out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
