EZ Container Gardening AND Pineapple Update
Easy method for successfully growing garden plants in small containers on your porch or in limited space and STILL have very heathy plants as well as get huge harvests. Plus as requested by countless (countless I say!!) viewers, an update on the pineapple plant grown from a pineapple top. Demonstration of how to transplant the pineapple to ensure maximum growth and healthy fruit production. Now wasn’t THAT a bit long-winded? I got dizzy just typing it! 🙂

I do not choose to intoxicate myself on anything. Thank you for viewing the video.

yes, that would be quit silly as i am sure it could not be achieved unintentionally… keep an open mind, you may run across the info sometime…

I’m very comfortable believing that it is not a hallucinogen. I find no credible evidence to cause me to warn anyone of going on a magical mistcal journey through the looking glass from this plant.

Yes, like i said it is known as taro in Hawaii… dont believe everything you read, I guarentee that some part of the plant through some simple process is a potent hallucinogen.

Colocasia is a mucus membrane irritant and not a hallucinogen. Colocasia leaves and tubors are cooked and eaten as food.

There is no need. Pepper plants will put out some roots from the lower portions of the stem but I have found no additional benefit from burying them deeper than a couple of inches.

Pineapple plants do not grow well in areas that have cold periods. They need to be brought in during the winter. If your plants were left out for just one frost they MAY survive. They may also die but send up side plants known as pups to replace the dead parent. I would just be patient and watch them to see what comes of it.

It’s called an elephant ear. It gets a LOT bigger than that. The leaves are like works of art when you examine the patterns up close. You can buy the bulbs online anytime or at most greenhouses in the spring.

You can easily start a pineapple top bu setting the top in a glass of water and make sure the bottom 2 nches is submerged. Change the water every 2 days. In 2 weeks you will see roots growing. Once the roots reach an inch in length, plant it in soil. and place it in a sunny location by a window. While it’s in the glass do not place it in direct sunlight. That’s all there is to it. Good luck! 🙂

question about pineapples does one acquire seed for pineapple or root the top part and if you have to root the top what is the best way to do that? i saw a video not sure if yours about the latter method, so i tried it. i did not have success. any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

If you prefer to avoid Miracle Grow products, and/or want something more natural, see if anyone has horses in your area. Composted horse manure w/waste hay & bedding (ideally straw, but shavings is OK) will give you GREAT compost in just a few months via ‘static pile’ mehtod (no need to turn). Or, most stables have manure piles; just get the stuff at the bottom. Usually it’s already composted and ready to use. Cow, rabbit, goat, sheep, llama, alpaca manures are good, too.

I have a pineapple that im growing also. Might have to peel some more leaves off it compared to yours. Can’t wait for it to start getting bigger. Thanks.

They grow on the top of a short stalk produced from the center of the pineapple plant. I have an update showing a ripe pineapple on this plant on my VoodooGarden channel. Take a look when you get a chance. It’s a pretty cool looking plant. 🙂

I’m probably way off on this, but I thought pineapples grew from trees? Will this grow up to be a tree or will it produce a pineapple in the potted area? I know very little about pineapples in nature.

If you’d like to make your mix cheap, grab some garden soil, mix it 2/3 soil with 1/3 sand. If you have any compost, toss in a heavy sprinkle of that and you’re all set at no cost. 🙂
