Step 1: Choose a Pineapple
Start by selecting a ripe pineapple from your local grocery store. Look for one with healthy, green leaves and a firm body. Avoid any pineapples with yellowing or browning leaves.
Step 2: Prepare the Top
1. Remove the Crown Grasp the pineapple crown (the leafy top) firmly and twist it off. If you prefer, you can also cut off the top of the pineapple with a small portion of the fruit attached.
2. Peel Away Lower Leaves Carefully peel away the small leaves at the base of the crown until you see a few inches of bare stem. This will expose the small root buds that will eventually grow into roots.
3. Let it Dry Allow the crown to dry for a day or two. This helps to prevent rotting when you plant it.
