About this item

• Physical Characteristics: Features a dramatic rosette of stiff, spiny-edged leaves reaching up to 3 feet in length. Mature plants may produce a central stalk topped with a small pineapple fruit, adding a whimsical and tropical focal point to its already striking appearance.
• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth. Can tolerate some direct sun, especially in the morning, which encourages healthy foliage color and strong plant structure. Insufficient light may slow growth and reduce the likelihood of flowering and fruiting.
• Watering Needs: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain freely. Avoid waterlogging, as overly wet soil can damage roots. In drier climates or heated indoor environments, increase humidity to maintain lush foliage and promote overall vigor.
• Soil Preferences: Thrives in a well-draining, sandy or loamy soil mix that mimics its native tropical conditions. A slightly acidic pH is ideal for nutrient uptake. Good aeration in the potting medium prevents root issues and supports consistent, healthy growth over time.
• Temperature Tolerance: Performs best in warm environments between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from frost and cold drafts, as temperatures below 60°F can slow growth and stress the plant. If grown outdoors in cooler climates, move indoors before cold weather arrives.
