During this period, the seeds will sprout. Carefully remove them without damaging the roots, plant them in separate pots, and water well.

After 12 months, you’ll have well-grown banana plants!

Water well, and keep it in bright and indirect light. The seeds will sprout in 3-5 weeks.

5. Pineapple

The next time you bring a pineapple home from a grocery store, cut its top and fix it in styrofoam. Now, take a glass, fill it half with water, and put the top along with the styrofoam inside so it fixes itself halfway.

This will keep only the bottom part of the pineapple in contact with water, which will help it to form roots.

Change the water every 3-5 days and keep the glass in indirect light. The roots will form in 3-4 weeks, after which you can transplant it in a container.
