I have continued to be impressed by the growth rate of this pineapple in March. Whilst I appreciate that they can grow up to 1.8m/6' across, making them one of the largest bromeliads, I really wasn't expecting such rapid growth. It copes well with an abundance or an absence of water and is seemingly indestructable. That said, at it's current growth rate, it will not be able to remain in it's current location for very long. I have other hardier plants to move outside this year, which will make a little more space in the polytunnel, but I hadn't planned on moving things outside just yet. Hopefully this plant will continue to thrive after it's move, although it will inevitably be in a lower light position.
