I bought a little pineapple plant at wal-mart of all places a few days. It was so cool looking I had to buy it, even though I have no idea what to do with it. It's probably about 2 feet tall with a pineapple in the middle about the size of a baseball. The pot it came in is pretty small, probably less than a gallon. Not sure if I t should put it in a bigger pot, and what kind of medium to put it in. I don't know what it is in right now, but it's not typical potting soil. Anyone have any advice on these, feeding, watering, how long to maturity, etc? I live in Indiana so it's going to have to go indoors in a couple months, is window sill light sufficient? I'm getting a 600 watt light soon but I would rather keep it in my room for decoration if the light is sufficient.
anyone grow pineapples?

I've tryed to grow some of the tops off of Pineapples but always got called away before got a plant that did not need to be babied. Leaving all the untough plants with people here paid to take care of them, has only got me dead plants. Pineapples are one of the Brom's I'd love to have, and think they grow great here.
