I hope it is glorious. I keep meaning to grow one myself, but I’m lazy…

Lazy is good for them. We're talking benign neglect. Over attention to plants, especially if they're potted, is often worse.

The thing about growing pineapple is the time until it fruits. If it's in a pot and indoors it can tata few years.

They really are pretty easy to take care of. But they do take forever to flower, unless you induce it somehow.

Why does this read like you know how to induce it, and you're gonna die with those secrets?

Lol. Sorry! I used calcium carbide. You can also supposedly use an apple or banana, but that did not work for me.

I don't garden unfortunately, it was more of a joke, but I'm sure everyone will appreciate the dirt nasty secrets

Edit: it's wild you can just offer a fruit sacrifice to this plant and it will give you a harder to obtain fruit. That's some animal crossing shit right there

LOL I never thought about it that way. It has dungeon game vibes where you combine ingredients to get a potion or something.

Simulation theory confirmed, brethren

Ultimate plant for the lazy! Unfortunately, they're also a bit lazy...
