A small ornamental pineapple rises from the centre of Ananas comosus 'Corona', surrounded by a dense rosette of stiff, sword-shaped green leaves with spiny edges. It stays small compared with pineapple plants grown for fruit and is kept indoors for its small ornamental fruit.
One rosette produces the central fruit. After the fruiting stage, that rosette gradually declines, while new growth continues through basal offsets. These offsets can be grown on as the next plant.
Pineapple is native from Costa Rica into tropical South America and grows in seasonally dry tropical environments. It grows as a soil-rooting bromeliad, so the roots need a mix that holds some moisture but drains freely.
Ananas comosus 'Corona' has sharp, spiny leaf margins. Handle carefully and keep it away from pets and small children. The fruit is ornamental and should stay on the plant.
Ananas comosus belongs to the Bromeliaceae family. The genus name Ananas comes from an Indigenous South American word for pineapple. The epithet comosus means “tufted”, referring to the leafy crown above the fruit.
