what kind of soil for pineapples
To grow well, pineapples have certain soil requirements. Pineapples need well-drained soil because they cannot withstand a waterlogged growing medium. For this reason, the best soil for growing pineapples is a sandy loam, because sand allows for rapid leaching, or water movement, through the soil. While pineapples dislike waterlogged soil, they are drought-tolerant, but require even moisture for proper fruit development.
