A pineapple

Sand

Peat moss

Used coffee grounds

6 inch pot

Large sharp knife

Cut top off pineapple about 1 inch below base of leaves. Let top dry for two days. Mix and moisten one part sand and one part peat moss with a handful of coffee grounds. Put potting mixture in pot. Plant pineapple top shallowly, covering with soil to base of leaves. Place in bright window. Keep moist but not soggy. As plant begins to grow, remove any dead leaves and cut off any brown tips. Occasionally pour or spray diluted liquid fertilizer directly on the plant crown.
