Botanical Name: Ananas comosus var. microstachys

Common Name: Dwarf Pineapple

The Dwarf Pineapple is a small and compact tropical plant that belongs to the Bromeliaceae family. It is a cultivar of the Ananas comosus species and is commonly known as Ananas 'nanus'.

The plant typically grows up to a height of 30-60cm (12-24 inches) and spreads up to a diameter of 60-90cm (24-36 inches). The leaves of the plant are long and narrow, and grow in a rosette formation. They are stiff, waxy, and have spiny margins that can be sharp, so it's best to handle them with care.

The fruit of the Dwarf Pineapple is small, typically weighing less than 100g. The fruit is edible and tastes like a regular pineapple, but is much smaller and contains less juice. The plant produces only one fruit per year, and it can take up to two years for the fruit to fully mature.

The Dwarf Pineapple prefers well-drained, moist soil and requires high humidity and bright, indirect light to thrive. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but needs protection from frost and cold temperatures. It is relatively easy to care for and can be propagated through the removal of offsets or "pups" that grow at the base of the parent plant.

These dwarf pineapples are approx. 35cm 

Some plants may not have fruit on them.
