There are two types of pineapple plants: those with tropical leaves that need at least six hours of direct sunlight daily; and those with non-tropical leaves that need only four hours of light daily. If you live in a sunny area, a non-tropical pineapple may be better. If your home doesn't receive six hours of direct sunlight daily, you can still grow pineapple in indirect sunlight. If you want a tree-size plant, you can try growing a pineapple indoors, though the size will likely be small.
