People Are Getting Pineapple Plants To Add A Tropical Vibe To Their Home

Many of us are probably starting to experience some sort of withdrawal symptoms due to a lack of social activities during these times. Don’t worry, it’s totally acceptable and understandable. But instead of dwelling on the negative, why not channel your energy into something positive and productive? For instance, honing your horticultural skills. Don’t think you’re blessed with a green thumb? Fret not because Home Depot has got you covered with their ornamental pineapple plant pots.

Pineapples are a part of the Bromeliad family. As such, they thrive best in tropical regions. Nevertheless, they can do well as indoor houseplants too. In fact, these tropical fruit plants are actually pretty low maintenance, making them an excellent choice for budding plant parents.

For starters, you’ll only need to water them once a week. However, if the soil doesn’t hold water well, then you’ll have to water them twice a week. Meanwhile, in terms of sunlight requirements, they’ll need an exposure of about six hours per day. So, it’s ideal to place them in a sunny spot to keep them thriving. According to the description, many people grow them indoors during winter and transfer them outdoors by summer. During warmer months, keep in mind to pay close attention to your plants as they may require more frequent watering.

In addition, each one comes with an actual pineapple sprouting from a large center stem. No matter how tempting, do note that the fruit is strictly not for eating. So, simply consider it as an inedible flower instead.

MINI PINEAPPLE ? • Our little pineapple plant finally has a plant pot home – £7.99 from @tkmaxxuk of course • Got a funny story about this plant actually – our neighbour came round last week and at this point little pineapple was on our kitchen windowsill, said neighbour pointed to the plant and went ‘oh my goodness a mini coconut’, me and Tom didn’t have the heart to correct her then and thought possibly she’d just made an error and actually knew what it was • Unfortunately 10 mins later she called it a coconut again ? • Not sure if it was its colour or size, but we keep laughing about it now… such children! ? #houseplants #homeplants #ananas #pineapple #pineappleplant #minipineapple #plants #planter #tkmaxx #treasureseeker #homefinds #pink #greyhome #laminate #bamboo #funny #sunday #whitehome #office #officestyling
