You Can Grow a Pineapple in Missouri

Even if you don't have a green thumb, and even if you don't live in Hawaii, it's easier than you might imagine.

1. Cut the top off a fresh pineapple.

2. Pull enough of the lower leaves off to have a 1 1/2" core.

3. Plant the core in a pot of Miracle Grow potting soil. (Repot to a larger pot as it outgrows its pot.)

4. Water and set it in filtered sunlight.

5. Water a small amount about once a week. (Don't over water)

6. It can sit outside during the summer after it has started growing, easing it into the sunlight gradually.
