Pineapple Plant || Ananas comosus || الشجر اناناس || Tropical Fruit Plant UAE & KSA

The Pineapple Plant (Ananas comosus) الشجر اناناس is a compact yet striking tropical fruit plant known for its spiky foliage, colorful flowers, and the iconic fruit it produces. Native to southern Brazil, this member of the Bromeliaceae family is well-suited to UAE & Saudi Arabia gardens, thriving in sunny and warm conditions.

The Pineapple Plant forms a dense rosette of long, sword-like leaves with purple or red flowers that develop into the golden, sweet pineapple fruit. With a high tolerance for drought and sun, it is both decorative and functional, making it perfect for patios, balconies, or tropical gardens.

An excellent choice for container growing, the Pineapple Plant requires only a small pot (15 cm) since its roots are shallow. It prefers acidic, well-drained soil with added sand to prevent waterlogging. With minimal care, this plant rewards you with an exotic look and homegrown pineapples.
