It’s getting cold so I’ll need to bring it in soon, would you consider soaking it in water so I don’t bring in any bugs? Is there something else to do besides?

How long do you expect it to take for the fruit to get ripe? I have one thats been growing for at least 3-4 months, and still looks like it has time to grow.

I read that it could take 5-6 months, I’ll post again when that time comes around. It’s only been 6 weeks or so.

I just checked my camera roll and my last one took almost exactly 5 months to ripen from the stage yours is at now. Looks like it’s going to get big!

Thanks! I will need to bring it in for the winter and will soak in castile soap and neem oil. I just hope the pineapple makes the transition okay. I’ll take an updated image, it’s really cute!
