Weekend Fun: Pineapple start in Hugo

Just so happened to get a pineapple this weekend and I decided instead of throwing it away I would attempt to get it to root into a Grodan 6" Hugo. Plus its fun!

First is first. Either cut off or just pull off a good amount of layers until you get this little nub about an inch and a half or so long. The more you pull off the more potential space for roots to come out.


    


Next Im actually gonna let this guy sit in some rooting compound for just a few

                     

After I let it soak for a bit I will pop it right into my Hugo, It just so happens to fit nice and snug in the pre drilled hole. So no need to dig anything out of the block. The block is simply rinsed with clean water, covered with a coco cap (to prevent algae growth), and set in the tray.

Side note: You do not have to use a rockwool cube! I just thought It would be cool. You can always use soil and some people even put them in a glass of water, but this must be changed often to make sure it doesnt rot out.


                        

Its as simple as that! Now I will keep it in a low light place in my kitchen until it starts to root and most likely it will end up under a nice warm T5

Thank you for checking out my blog!
