Tropical fruits are very sensitive to temperature, difficult to grow and care for. In order for the pineapple plants to form fruits, it is necessary to wait at least 1.5 years and comply with the necessary conditions.

In addition, the pineapple is so prickly that it cannot be torn off without special gloves.
