    In case anyone would love to grow a virtual free tropical plant this is how is done.
    Select a nice and healty plant ,
    [​IMG] avoid large pinapple from the caribbean or hawaii ,
    then pinch one of the middle leaves and try to pull one off , if the leave will come off then avoid that one and get a fresh one .
    with a sharp knife , cut the top right at the base.

    and then start to pull all the leaves off the base , untill you will start to see the roots.
    Can you see the roots at the base?
