Pineapple 'Rosita' T6

Ananas comosus 'Rosita' is a particularly attractive ornamental form of the well-known cultivated pineapple. It originally comes from the tropical regions of South America and has been specifically selected as a compact, colorful variant.
The variety "Rosita" is characterized by its pink-tinted fruit and reddish-hued leaf base. As a young plant, it is ideal for sunny windowsills, conservatories, or tropical arrangements.

Characteristics:

The young plant forms a dense, spiky rosette of narrow, pointed leaves with a greenish base color and reddish-pink accents. The edges are finely serrated. Fruit development begins only after several years, but even at a young stage, 'Rosita' is very decorative due to its compact proportions and striking coloration.

Care Instructions:

Light: Very bright to full sun, preferably direct light for vigorous growth.
Water: Water moderately, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. No waterlogging.
Humidity: Medium (from 40 %), occasional misting in dry indoor air.
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, 1–2 times per month with our special bromeliad or orchid fertilizer in diluted form.
Temperature: 20–30 °C, do not let it drop below 15 °C.

Note: Ananas comosus 'Rosita' remains compact and easy to care for as a young plant. With increasing age and under good conditions, it can develop a decorative mini-fruit – ideal for exotically planted containers or sunny windowsills.
