Hi if your not able to find anyone on here to buy slips from you could always try ebay they always have sellers on there with Tissue culture sugar loaf or white jade for sale

Update Cheese Pine Pineapple getting bigger plus crown starting

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.

I only give the pineapple plants fertilizer once a month... each plant is different and wont always grow the same or produce the same amount of slips... but i would guess that to much Nitrogen could have something to do with it 

you will still end up with the same type of pineapple variety you started with it will just look deformed not sure how it will turn out or taste but you will find out once it turns ripe

Yeah it turned out pretty good i just wish the plants didn't take so much cold damage during all the cold weather we had this winter I'm going to be more prepared next winter 

Here is a photo of my Natal Queen pineapple plant that has flowered

Update: Red Spanish Pineapple getting bigger even has slips starting to grown under the pineapple already

Update. i wanted to share a photo with everyone of the Cheese Pineapple plant flower

Here's my pineapple a month later.  Looks like a Spanish Red to me but what do I really know?

its possible it could be the same but its hard to tell unless you know for sure where it came from

Wanted to let everyone know that my cheese pine pineapple plant has flowered once I'm able to see it better I will post a photo

I'm going to force flower my Red Spanish Pineapple plants soon so that way they will have pineapple growing on them around the same time
its even been said that force flowering pineapple plants that the pineapples turn out to be sweeter than a pineapple plant that hasn't been force flowered... so we shell see how it turn's out


Force flowering them with : Calcium Carbide

Evildeadguy, could you tell us (one more time, please ) how do you us the Calcium Carbide? When did you apply it to the Red Spanish?

Make sure you water the pineapple plants first making sure to get water in the center cup where the pineapple will start to flower once water is in the center drop one calcium carbide into the center once it hits the water it will start to smoke up and that's all you need to do beside wait about 2 months and it should flower.... when the smoke is happening keep fire away from it

Thanks i will keep everyone updated....

its funny how a full size pineapple takes 6 months but a queen pineapple cause there
baby pineapples they can take 4 to 5 months till ready to be picked... so i can't wait
to see how they turn out. Although i have tried them before when i bought them

it will be my first time trying one from my own grown plant  

Update the guy on ebay has one Red Spanish Offset left for sale on ebay if you hurry you might be able to get it
