Moreover, if you are observant, you will see new small green leaves appear in the center.
Proof that your pineapple is alive and well! Little by little, these little leaves will take the place of the other leaves.
After about a month, young roots will begin to appear.
It's time to plant your pineapple in a pot . But before, do not forget to remove the dead leaves. Because they have become useless.
They come off very easily. If you leave them, your plant may even rot.
