So you think we are insane and you love it?
So you want to grow your own babies?
Well here's a simple and profound warning, as with all babies they take time, attention and love.
The first step is to get together some cash, not a lot, and then once the financial future of your baby is secured, you will have to think of a name, because with out a name and a lot of love, it just won't happen.
1. Go to a store and buy the following,
- 1 beautiful and delicious Pineapple
- 1 8in or 12in pot to grow your baby in (8in is okay to start but eventually 12in will be needed, that is just how much space they need to grow)
- 1 bag of soil, enough to fill your pot and keep some to add to your pot from time to time.
- 1 container of your favorite ice cream (not necessary but really, its for the best)
2. When you arrive home, think about happy baby thoughts, all the wonderful things you will do when your baby arives and how you will help it to grow.
3. Firm and gentle, you must twist the top off of your new Pineapple this is really the easiest and best way of starting the roots to grow.
4. Peel off the first few layers of leaves near the base of the pineapple top, you might notice little roots there already, thats good.
5. Take your pineapple top and place it in a dark cupboard upside down to let it dry for about a week. This will allow the top to heal and prepare for growth.
6. Eat some ice cream, and count the days, try not to forget about your pineapple top, cause then it dries up and is useless, and you have to go back to the store and find another perfect parent for your baby, this is not always so easy.
7. Now you may take another layer of the small leaves off the bottom of your pineapple top or you may leave it the way it is, then you can either place it in some water to start the roots growing or you can plant it directly in its new home.
8. Now it depends where you live and what time of year it is, to see where you will place your new plant. NO FROST, it will die. During summer, set your plant on a sunny porch or bury the pot in your garden. When you first remove your plant from your house, keep it in a semi-shaded spot for several days to prevent sunburn.
9. You can also keep your plant indoors, where it will be warm, and have sunlight, and you can remember to water it every week or so.^_^
10.Enjoy life. eate ice cream and pineapple and remember to have a lot of Love in your house, and never raise your voice, water your pineapple once a week, in nature they need less than 20in rain annually, so don't over water it. It can take up to 3 years to get your baby to grow, but sometimes it's faster. Like one year. O.o
(you can use fertilizer if you wish, follow instructions on fertilizer package for shrubs)

oh this is so great, thank you dabi for your helpful instructions!!
now i have some more important questions that are still open:
- What if i run out of ice cream after the first day of it all? Can i still grow my own little pineapple baby without risking its entire future?
- If i do decide to buy another cup of ice cream will it make my potentially newborn pineapple baby feel unloved and what can i do in this case to make it happy again??
- I'm afraid i can't get hold of a growing pot in inch-size. Will i be able to achieve best growing results with a metric-system pot?
This all is so confusing to me and i hope you can help me with answering these questions!
tes
tes, u r soo silly <33
ok, to clear some things about inches and centimetres:
8 inch are approx. 20 cm
12 inch are approx. 30 cm
i think, but we should get this confirmed by dab, that metric pots should work too. at least i hope so, cause theres no hope for me to get an imperial sized pot O.o
I'm glad you have so many questions for me tes, let me help
of course if you run out of ice cream you can buy more, I don't think it will make it feel unloved, but if you feel that the baby does feel neglected, you can easily reverse this by singing soft songs to it.
Metric is prefered but it's understood that from time to time we have to go outside these strict rules, simply by crossing out the 30cm and writing 12in you can fix this issue.
I hope this has helped, please if you have more questions, I am here to do the best I can to assist you in your baby making.
