White Jade' Pineapple is a highly sought after Hawaiian variety. The white fleshed fruit of 'White Jade' is ultra sweet, with very low acidity. The core is 100% edible too! The leaves are spineless which makes handling much more enjoyable.
Water your pineapple plant profusely throughout its life. As with most bromeliads, you should never allow your pineapple to sit in water, and always water it from the top down. Pineapples will grow slower if they're not receiving enough water, but are generally more tolerant of being under-watered rather than over-watered.
Pineapples prefer full sun, so give them plenty of light—at least six to eight hours a day. When choosing where to place your pineapple in your home, opt for a sunny windowsill that boasts plenty of direct rays. If you don't have a spot in your home that has enough bright light, consider investing in an artificial grow light to supplement.
Feed young pineapple plants with a weak liquid fertilizer monthly throughout their growing season. After the first year of the pineapple's life has passed, you can fertilize the plant once every few months.
Pineapples should be planted in moist but well-drained soil. Any traditional potting mixture works just fine, but there's a chance you may also be able to find a bromeliad-specific soil blend. It's helpful if the soil is slightly acidic in nature, but overall they can thrive in an environment that boasts a neutral pH level too.
True to their tropical roots, pineapples cannot thrive in cool, dry weather—and never in frost conditions. For the best results, keep your pineapple plant in temperatures that range from 65 degrees Fahrenheit to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. When it comes to humidity, your pineapple plant will likely be fine with the conditions already in your home. If you live in an especially dry climate, you can try misting your plant occasionally, but never to the point of saturation.
Pineapples typically should not need repotting. A newly-rooted pineapple will grow long, strappy leaves (about 30-inches long in a healthy plant) that are fiercely serrated (so be careful when handling them!). As the plant matures, it will begin sending off shoots from the base.
