1. Choose a pineapple with green, fresh leaves.
2. Remove the top of the pineapple, ideally by twisting it off (doing so will preserve the parts needed for regrowth).
3. Peel back any leaves around the base so the bottom layers are exposed.
4. Finally, cut off just the tip of the base, being sure to remove any excess fruit.
5. Next, poke three or four toothpicks into the pineapple base right above the area where you peeled back the leaves.
6. Use the toothpicks to suspend the pineapple top over a glass container. Add enough water to the container to cover the base of the pineapple top.
7. Leave the whole contraption in a sunny area, change the water every few days, and watch for roots to grow.
8. In about a week, roots should begin to form and the green leaves should be longer and wider. When the roots fully form, plant the pineapple top in a planter (or outdoors if you live in a warm climate). Make sure it is exposed to plenty of sunlight, and water it regularly. Expect a new pineapple to grow in a few months.
