Advise for my Colorado Pineapple

Colopineapple
9 years ago

So two years ago, I got the bright idea to plant a pineapple top and see if it would grow. Well it grew and grew. It spends winter indoors with my orange tree under 12 on, 12 off six hundred watt SH lights and then lives on my back porch in the summer time. Well a few weeks ago it would seem to be putting out a flower. I have read that the fruit won't be ripe and ready to harvest till Feb. or March. So I would love any advise that you tropical pineapple growers might have for me. Like, what should I be feeding it, should I try to transplant into a larger pot, and how many hours of light a day should I give it when I move it back inside, or should I not put in artificial light this Sept and leaving in a window where it will be on a natural light cycle? Any advise or comments would be helpful.
