Ananas comosus Amigo, Evergreen Pineapple Plant

Ananas Comosus Amigo, also known as the Dwarf Pineapple Plant, is a unique addition to any indoor plant collection. This miniature pineapple plant can be grown indoors and produces a single fruit on its central stem, surrounded by dark green, lance-like leaves. Although the fruit is quite bitter compared to store-bought pineapples, the unripe fruit and leaves are mildly toxic, so enjoying this plant with your eyes rather than your appetite is best. Therefore not recommended for consumption.

One of the fantastic features of the Ananas Amigo is that it purifies the air in your space, especially at night. If you love its fascinating appearance and air-purifying qualities, you'll be pleased to know that growing new plants from its pups is easy.

How to Care Ananas Comosus Amigo:

Light: While pineapples enjoy bright light, direct sunlight can scorch their leaves. Providing them with bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade is best. A south-facing window with a sheer curtain can give the ideal amount of light for your Ananas Comosus Amigo.

Water: Pineapple plants can absorb water through their leaves but do not require much water. Wait until the top of the soil has completely dried out before watering, then water both the leaves and soil.

Temperature: Ananas Comosus Amigo, a Pineapple plant, can thrive in warm, sunny conditions and prefers temperatures between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius (72 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit).

Hint: If you notice yellow leaves on your pineapple plant, it could be a sign of overwatering. Pineapple plants prefer to be under-watered rather than waterlogged, so ensure you're not giving it too much water. It's best to wait until the soil has dried out before watering again. In the UK, where the climate is cooler and less sunny, ensuring the plant gets enough light and warmth to thrive is essential. Placing it in a sunny, south-facing location can help, and you may need to supplement it with grow lights during winter.
