I just started rooting a pineapple last night. I plan to buy a few more and put them in the green house. If the winter is extremely cold will I need a heat lamp for them?
Pineapples do need to be inside during cold weather. We wintered many pineapples in our house all winter for 4 years. WE didn’t use lamps. Only natural sunlight by windows
How cold is cold? I live in zone 5 and I will be bringing my pineapples inside because it easily goes down to zero where I live. I could not keep a greenhouse warm enough. This is the first year I have succeeded with pineapples: I have rooted 2 tops and I did get a seed started. The seedling might not make it because it has been growing for 2 months now and is only 1 inch tall
Score! Stopped by the grocery store on our way home from town today and saw some pineapples sitting there. Looked through them and sure enough, each one had been carefully pinched at the top to make sure customers were only buying one pineapple to eat, not to grow. Ha! Whoever did it missed one 🙂
