Ep. 111 - The Pineapple
Ananas comosus
After some Stephen-centric plant updates, the Plant Daddies cover a surprisingly rewarding houseplant that you may be able to propagate after you make that fruit salad.
The pineapple, Ananas comosus, is in bloom for Matthew, who details his care experiences - good and bad - and the long road ahead to that sweet snack. But is that the point, or is it about the journey? Is this the best tropical fruit to grow at home? Does Stephen know what one looks like?
