The listing, 10 Pineapple Seeds - Grow Pineapples! has ended.
The lucky winner of this auction will receive 10 Pineapple seeds. This is 2 seeds more than were in my previous offerings!
The seeds can take as long as 6 months to germinate but some people report that they see sprouting after about a month.
The best methods seem to be in a small amount of water or on a paper towel in a plastic bag.
For best results make sure plants have about 4 leaves before trying to put in soil.
When ready to transfer seeds to pot:
Fill 3 inch pots with a good quality compost such as John Innes 'Seed and Cutting'. Carefully remove the seedlings from the bag and planting one in each pot place them on top of the compost.
Gently cover the seed with some more compost but in such away that the green shoots are left exposed above it.
Water, then place the pots in a propagator or seal them insider a larger clear polythene bag to maintain humidity. Return the pots to their warm bright position.
Water the pots once a week so that the compost is moist but not waterlogged. After another 3 weeks or so they should be ready for potting on into 6 inch pots.

These are about the only fruit or vegetable seeds I can still offer free shipping on and protect them from damage in transit, so I hope you will bid high. :-)
(On most of my other seeds the bubblewrap makes envelopes too thick to meet the envelope rate anymore).
