- Grow your own delicious fresh pineapples on your windowsill - from the same plants used for commercial pineapple production in South America.
- The perfect plant for a sunny kitchen or conservatory windowsill, needing little care and attention save a little water and the occasional feed.
- Each plant is delivered with a pineapple fruit already growing so your plant is guaranteed to fruit this year.
- Once the fruit is removed an offset will appear which may fruit in following years and an entirely new plant can even be raised by cutting off the leaf crown and planting in compost.
- Supplied at 50cm tall in 14cm pot, already in fruit - not to be confused with the smaller ornamental types available online.

Description
Here's a real novelty indoor plant that will provide interest every day as you see your own deliciously sweet pineapple develop atop this well-established, potted plant.
A member of the Bromeliad family, it's the perfect indoor plant for a sunny kitchen or conservatory windowsill, needing little care and attention save for a little water and the occasional feed, as needed.
The plants are exactly the same as those used in commercial pineapple plantations across the world, so you can be assured of the best tasting fruit - right here in the UK on your windowsill. Do not confuse these big specimens with tiny decorative, non-edible plant available elsewhere online.
Each plant is delivered with a pineapple fruit already growing so your plant is guaranteed to fruit this year. For best results water the compost keeping it moist and also keep a little water in the cups of the leaf rosette.
When the pineapple is plump and ripe, about the size of an orange, remove it from the plant and enjoy! Once the fruit is removed, an offset will appear which may fruit in following years and an entirely new plant can even be raised by cutting off the leaf crown and planting in compost.
Supplied as an established plant in a 14cm nursery pot, ready to plant.
Top Tips
As your plant matures, it may begin sending offshoots from the base. These can be carefully removed and potted up individually.
Care Information
- Pineapples prefer full sun, so give them plenty of light.
- Water your plant regularly and don't allow it to dry out. Being tropical, pineapples will not grow in cooler, drier weather, although never allow them to sit in water. Your pineapple should be watered from the top like other bromeliads.
- Feed with a weak (1/4 strength) liquid fertilizer throughout the growing season.
Delivery Information
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
