Welcome Bob. The pineapple sure is gnarly. Where did you get the plant? Leaves are very thorny.

I'll be honest it was so long ago I don't remember what it looked like but I planted it from the top of an old pineapple. I just cut it up and am now trying to root down the top. The last few rooting attempts on grocery store pineapples failed because they rotted but I'm hopeful for this one (I'm using spring water and changing it out every day this time).
There is a shoot coming out of the mother plant, I think I'm going to leave it alone and see how it does.
