I have been reading about rooting a pineapple in water...so after reading and watching several videos I decided to try it...So I got my store bought pineapple and removed the top, and set aside the fruit for peeling and eating later.

Interesting to see the roots hiding under those leaves:



So I just removed some more leaves and removed some of that yellow fesh and have stuck the top in a glass with water and some excess gel beads I got from another plant project...will wait and see how it goes! I have read that I can just stick this straight into soil...I just want to see how the roots form so I am doing this water method first..
