How long has it been growing?

[–] MegadethRulz@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well I originally propagated the plant from a store bought pineapple almost 5 years ago and it finally began to flower about 4 months ago. Check out my other posts on this sub I think this is the 4th post I’ve made since I first noticed It was starting to flower

Did you grow it indoors the whole time? I'm in a temperate climate, but mine never seem to make it through the winter. I didn't know they would still flower if grown indoors.

Yes it has been in a north east facing window the whole time. I don’t think my apartment was quite warm enough for the plant to flower for a long time so it took longer than it should have but this year I got lucky I guess.
