Pineapple Plant─ Ananas comosus

The pineapple plant is a tropical perennial characterized by its spiral rosette of sword-shaped leaves and iconic fruit. It grows up to five feet tall and reproduces through offshoots rather than seeds. Its fruit, which develops from the center of the plant, starts as a cluster of flowers and matures over several months into a golden yellow pineapple. Thriving in warm, humid climates with sunlight and well-drained soil, it holds both ornamental and cultural significance, symbolizing hospitality and warmth.
