    Plant it, then water slowly until the whole root ball is soaked.

  3. 3First summer

Planting instructions
Prepare the planting site by watering the root ball before planting. Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and place the plant 1–2″ above surrounding soil level. Backfill with soil and water deeply to settle. Apply a 1–2″ layer of mulch around the base, avoiding contact with the stem to prevent moisture buildup and rot.
Watering & sunlight
Water deeply but infrequently; allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established plants are water-wise and prefer low to moderate moisture. The ‘Mila’ Pineapple Plant requires full sun to develop its best foliage color and support fruit production. At least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal. 
Care guide

PRUNING:
No pruning required. Simply remove old or damaged leaves as needed to maintain appearance. 

FERTILIZING:
Fertilize once a year in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to support growth and fruiting. Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish.

WINTER PROTECTION:
In cooler climates outside of its hardy zones, protect with frost cloth or grow in containers that can be moved indoors during frost or freezing temperatures.
