I feel like pineapple quality should be the term used to describe ultra high quality pics now like the opposite of potato quality because they are such an impressive thing. I’m going to start describing really nice high quality photos as pineapple quality from now on haha
Post pics if you got em! I think mine is my dioscorea elephantipes (at least right now, it changes often). Grown from a seed, she'll be a year old in July :)
Probably my leggy ass jade. I got this thing as a pup in probably 2005 or 2006 and it has somehow survived a ton of BS. The pups that this thing has produced have all been much more successful than this one but I still love this thing.
I stuck this thing in succulent dirt, in that pot, from a right off the top of a grocery store pineapple 5 years ago and figured that it would never have a shot to flower because it’s in a north east facing window, but I always thought it was a cool thing to look at that I kept alive. I’m shocked that it’s actually flowering. I had to share.
That’s an incredible story. All of my plants are rescues and because of the shit light situation that I have in my apartment they are all leggy but I have given out so many pups from offshoots and broken off branches that all thrive. It’s like a little orphan village in my windows now. bonus family photo
From what I’ve read, it’s like 2 years to grow and then it’s another 6 or more months to actually grow a full fruit. Thing is, it’ll lay dormant when it gets cooler conditions and takes a while of proper warm conditions to finally flower. Or something along those lines.
You can try to force it to flower with an apple too. The apple releases some compound when it decays that stimulates flowering apparently. Sorry I’m too lazy to look up the specifics.
Pineapple update. She is finished flowering and starting to look more like a proper pineapple. (Sorry for the potato quality, the upload seems to lower the quality) ( lemmy.world )
