Pineapple Propagation
OK, one cuts the top of the pineapple that includes the 'hair' (slips, leaves...), put it in adequate soil and water adequately, and voila! you'll get another pineapple. Is this the quickest way to pineapple fruit?
After the pineapple fruit was ripe, I removed it from the rest of the plant. And, after a few weeks, the leftover plant has another fruit on the way! I really wasn't expecting that so soon. So, I'm on the way for getting two, three ... fruits from one plant. At such a rate, pineapple production will get critical in a good way; 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1,024: Wow! Over 1,000 pineapples in just 10 pineapple generations!
From what I've heard, pineapple propagation by seeds is the slowest method to obtain pineapple fruit.
I wonder whether anyone has been able to propagate pineapple through slip/leaf cuttings, or whether it's even possible. If propagation by leaf cuttings were possible, then this would really take the production of pineapples to another, higher, exponential level.
