The mini pineapple could remain on the plant for another couple of months from this stage. 
After a few months, the leaves on top of the fruit gets considerably larger.There is a patch of miniature pineapples with long narrow yellow-green leaves armed with sharp little thorns growing here in my garden. These are not edible but I like to use them in arrangements and decorations as they make really cute centerpieces.

ReplyDeleteWow...a new breed of pineapples! Where did you get the seedlings from?
ReplyDeletei remembered seeing a lot of these during cny. lovely decorations. :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen these miniature pineapples before. I wonder what's the purpose of these pineapples if they can't be eaten. They do make nice deco, though : )

ReplyDeleteHi Ramblings! I'm back! It really makes a good centerpiece. I like the miniature reddish pineapples. I saw in some place in Philippines. The color is very catchy.
ReplyDeleteSo cute la the mini pineapples, LR!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday dearie, oh I love pineapple tarts btw he he! ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Really cute. I have seen this near my house a couple of time. Wanted to plant it but it is not pragmatic for me. :D
ReplyDeleteThey are not edible? Ouh...now only I know. All this while I thought people who plant it can use it for their cookings etc. Now only I know. Ha :D
ReplyDeletelina,
ReplyDeletethey are darn cute, aren't they?
Mei Teng,
ReplyDeletei actually got the growing medium from a friend. When the fruit starts to turn orange, he cuts the pineapple off the stem that it is at the base of the pineapple. plant it in a pot with the growing medium.
levian,
ReplyDeleteit's an eye catching addiction to dessert tables too.
Foong,
ReplyDeleteIt is grown mainly for decorative purposes and as a novelty.
Carleen,
ReplyDeleteit's a lot of fun watching them grow here. :)
ECL,
ReplyDeletei didn't buy them. a friend gave me the baby pineapple to pot it. they are easily available and are literally grown everywhere here.
they are indeed small, cheerful and undoubtedly looks inviting for home and temple offerings.
Carver,
ReplyDeletethey make lovely centerpiece for family and friends to enjoy.
Redge,
ReplyDeletei completely agree. pineapples are great for health for many reasons.
Monica,
ReplyDeleteyeah, too bad they're not edible but very cute indeed.
Ayie,
ReplyDeleteit's good to see you back. it makes a great centerpiece, although people might try pick them up to see if they are real or not. they can be very prickly though.
Mariuca,
ReplyDeletei love pineapple tarts too, but they have gotta be the Nyonya homemade ones please.
Tekkaus,
ReplyDeletethey are mainly grown for deco purposes and not possible to cook them. i remember cutting off the rough skin once, only to be ended up of the remaining hard core to chew on. HA!
They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!! I want one:) Happy WW and thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI saw these baby pineapples normally are used in chinese temples.. some even have up to five baby pineapples sticked together one..
ReplyDeleteSmall pineappe used for decoration is the good idea.
ReplyDeletethe sound " wan " in chinese. It means prosperous.
This is something new to me, great post.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. I've been wondering how pineapples grow.
ReplyDeletei've seen fist size pinapples for sale in our local supermarket. The gorcer cut it open for us to sample :) Very small but very sweet. Are the one's in your photos not at all edible?
ReplyDeleteHow long do these tiny pineapples last?
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the new things on your blog. Thanks for more interesting stuff from your side of the planet!!
