Reference

To grow a pineapple plant in your home if you wish, or because the space is small where you live, look for a fresh pineapple as shown in the image, then remove the crown of leaves from the fruit and soak the base in water . In a few days the roots will sprout, transplant it to a container about 25 cm deep and wait for about 6 months until the fruit arrives.

James 5: 7
Have, then, patience, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold: the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth awaiting him with patience until he receives the early and late rains.
