Those things look like they're about ready to fruit already. Beautiful healthy looking plants, keep us updated. Simon
Put me down first on the list when you have Red Spanish and Cheese Pine pups to sell/trade.

When did you apply it to the Red Spanish?
Thank you! I still have some pineapple plants in the garage with the door opened all day. Introducing them to the sun slowly. Should I put them out for the procedure?
Beautiful Jimmy, do you recall giving this plant a lot of fertilizer? I’m guessing that my over fertilization with Nitrogen on my White Jade induced it to form all those slips. I wanted a bunch of slips the first round but now that I have enough plant material, I want bigger fruit and less slips. Simon
