Step 5Water and Forget...
Once your pineapple is in the dirt, water the plant.
If you are growing your pineapple in the ground, you can basically forget about it for a while. Pineapples are very much maintenance free plants. After the initial plantings, I never go out of my way to purposely water my pineapple plants. It can't hurt if you do water your pineapple plants more often than when it rains, but the plants definitely won't die if you forget to water them every few days. My plants have lived several years with this let-them-be attitude and are now on the third season of the plants producing fruit.
If you are growing your pineapple in a pot where you bring the plant inside during colder weather, I would definitely water the pineapple more often.

Sure you can. I think it is similar to a banana tree. I've noticed if I trim my banana tree before the leaf has completely dried out it can weep. I'm not sure if the pineapple plant would weep, but I wait until the leaf is dry before I trim it.
