During the pandemic when everything was locked down I tried rooting a pineapple top and now 6 years later I have little pineapple garden.

Closest thing I have attempted to grow to a pineapple is Spanish moss which somewhat surprisingly is in the same family. Tried to establish it on some trees in my backyard but unfortunately in storms the wind is so strong that it all got blown off after only a couple months. Probably didn’t help that it was a huge drought going on simultaneously.

Thanks for sharing! I had no idea those two plants were related. I tried to bring some Spanish moss home from Georgia but it didnt make it.
