Thanks for your answer. I would like to grow a ratoon from my plant.
But I don't know if that would be possible. This is a potted plant in
my living room. I don't think it could grow ratoons in its pot. I will
try to transplant it into the garden after picking the fruit but I
will have, at best, only a few weeks left before freezing will kill the
plant. Unless, do you think I should try to keep it alive for 8 months
in its pot and wait until next June to put it outside to grow ratoons?
I would then have 4 months of freeze free time to grow ratoons.

Hi,
Pineapples grown from crowns do well in pots indoors, full sun is not
required. Ratoon plants can take full sun but IMHO it would not be
productive to give it few weeks of sun as the nights may be too cool.
The eight months indoors and four outside is not long enough to fruit.
Leave the plant where it fruited and wait and see if ratoons appear.

parts that may be used to get another pineapple and one or more of these
may appear.

HTH -_- how
