6. Grow Pineapples From a Crown
Ingredients: water, pineapple, and a jar of warm water
Cost to Make: $2.75 per pineapple* You’ll need to have a lot of patience with this one because it can take years for your plant to produce a juicy, sweet pineapple. First, take the top of your pineapple, sometimes known as “the crown,” and twist and grab the leaves to remove it. Take off the crown’s lower leaves to reveal the bottom two inches. Little brown nubs will be visible, and these are where new roots will grow.

Put the section of the crown free of leaves in warm, fresh water. Every other day, change the water. Even if the leaves turn brown, the season is still ongoing. You’ll have to experiment with another pineapple if the crown completely dries up. Should roots appear, you can move the crown into a soil-filled container to initiate the growth process.
