Pineapple
Ananas comosus
Pineapple plants thrive in bright, full sun for at least 6–8 hours a day and prefer warm temperatures above 60°F. Water moderately every 7–10 days, letting the topsoil dry slightly between waterings, and use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. With patience, a healthy plant can produce a fruit in 18–24 months — making it a rewarding edible houseplant or patio specimen.
