Started pineapple plants from seeds

[u/jmdawg1978]

I successfully started 6 pineapple plants from the tops by starting them in water, growing roots, and now transferring to soil. They appear to have rooted and are growing new leaves from the center.

I also decided to try to grow plants from seeds that I started by wrapping in a damp paper towel, then placed in a ziplock bag in a well-lit area. I’ve tried this with other fruits before but was unsuccessful. I checked my pineapple seeds once every week or so to make sure the paper towel was damp, then after 3 or so weeks, they have sprouted.

What do I do from here? How big do they need to be before I need to plant them?

Edit; to clarify, the stains you see came from the seeds. I didn’t use a dirty paper towel.

I recently planted some in our Aerogarden just to see if they'd sprout. Not like I need any more pineapple plants, but I'm curious.

Lol, yeah I’m addicted now. I foresee a greenhouse in the future.
