Pineapple Fruit Plant 4" Pot (Ananas comosus) ~ Grow Hawaii |

 |
| The Hawaiians call me hala-kahiki,
meaning hala from a foreign land. There is some question as to how
I got to Hawaii and from where. Some say Spanish explorers carried
me to Europe from South America. How I got here is not important.
What is important is that I’m commercially grown for my delicious
fruit, and I and a major industry in Hawaii. Isn’t it true that
when you hear the name Hawaii you think of dancing Hula girls,
swaying coconut palm trees and pineapples? I have truly become a
part of paradise-wouldn’t you say? |

Growing Instructions: If I get crowded in the pot, it’s time to
transplant. Use a well-drained sandy loam with a pH of 5 to 6 or peat moss
and perlite mixture and some composted organic matter. Temperature range
should be between 62F to 85F, and full sun is required for normal growth.
Use a 10-10-10 foliar fertilizer containing iron every 2 to 3 months. Keep
evenly moist but not constantly wet. Good drainage is essential. Use an
insecticide according to directions if it becomes necessary. Plant should
fruit from 18 to 24 month. Flower production can be induced by dripping 2
to 3 pieces of calcium carbide into the terminal bud followed by
sufficient water to fill the heart of the plant. Fruit is ready to be
picked when it is yellow half way up. |
