They've been doing this for more than 30 years and are continually producing hybrids of different colors, shapes and sizes. Add water to the soil and also pour it directly inside the funnel-shaped cup every two weeks. Under low-light conditions, only the soil is moistened. It's composed of a rosette of leaves growing from the center, forming a funnel.
Mature plants produce a blossom-bearing spike, or inflorescence, from the center of that cup.
Water should be kept inside the funnel at all times, but it is important not to let the water become stagnant. The cup should become nearly dry before you add more water. Otherwise, the water may become sour and foul-smelling. The pineapple is the most common member of the Bromeliaceae family, which are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Central, South and North America, as well as the Caribbean islands. They can be found in diverse environments, from rain forests to mountains, beaches and deserts.
