How to split pineapple (Tieran)

Pineapple, also known as Tielan, it is difficult to propagate young plants by sowing, so it is more difficult to propagate by ramet. When the purple or red foil in the middle of the mother plant begins to wither, the plant will sprout young plants from the leaf tube, and when it grows a little bigger, it can be potted by breaking off its roots, as long as it is properly managed in the later stage. It usually blossoms after 2-3 years.
