If you're looking for something a bit fun to give as a gift or to add to your collection of houseplants, then the Pineapple Plant is the plant you're looking for. 

A stunning plant with elongated, sharp-looking foliage in a variety of patterns and colours that is also known for its attractive and eye-catching fruit, which is often either red or yellow. The pineapple was considered a very valuable horticultural commodity before commercial techniques improved, thus the practice of keeping them as ornamental houseplants was born.

The Pineapple is a variety of Bromeliad and one of the only Bromeliads that produce edible fruit. As a houseplant, these Pineapples are known as ornamentals, staying relatively small, and are not grown for consumption, however, these funky little plants will add a touch of curiosity to your houseplant collection.

Pineapple houseplants are tropical plants and that's what makes them well suited for indoor living. They will happily live on a balcony or patio as well, as they appreciate a few hours of direct sunlight, just avoid the direct midday sun which could scorch the leaves. Pineapples also value some humidity to stop their leaf edges from drying out, this can be achieved by placing it on a Pebble Tray.
