Mini Red Pineapple Plant 'Tiny Red' Ornamental
An ornamental red pineapple plant is a tropical plant grown for its decorative leaves and small, inedible fruit. The leaves of the ornamental pineapple plant are long and spiky in a deep green, almost red coloring. The fruit is typically small and does not ripen, but it adds to the ornamental value of the plant. The plant is relatively easy to care for and can be grown in a container or in the ground in warm climates. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade and should be protected from frost. It is also drought-tolerant once established. With proper care, the ornamental pineapple plant can grow up to several feet tall.
This plant needs full sun, so a bright window or a grow light will keep its blooms happy and thriving with the most adorable baby pineapple on top.
This small-scale pineapple has fruit that reaches the size of a small tennis ball and serves as an ornamental plant than a fruiting crop. If you want one that will produce sweet edible pineapples, check out our Golden Pineapple Plant.
Available in the following packaging based on your preference:
- Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 6-inch planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.
- Selene - Ceramic 6.5" Marble Planter ready for your home or office space with a porcelain rose gold tray to catch drips when watered. (To ensure plants arrive safely, we package this pot separately, and the plant will arrive in a nursery pot that can be placed inside the Selene)
