Wilbur’s Care Guide: Zone 7/8 Success

As your Atlanta Palm experts, we know our "winter" starts in November and our "summer" feels like a sauna. Here’s how to keep this beauty happy in the Metro area:

☀️ Sunlight (The "South Side" Rule)

Pineapples are sun-worshippers. In Atlanta, give it the brightest spot on your patio—ideally 6+ hours of direct sun. If you're keeping it indoors near Buckhead or Midtown, a south-facing window is a must.

💧 Watering & Feeding

Keep the soil moist but not swampy. Pineapples actually absorb a lot of moisture through their central "cup" (where the leaves meet). When you water, pour a little directly into the base of the leaves. Use our Palm Poo Fertilizer (available in the accessories shop!) every few weeks during the growing season to boost fruit sweetness.

❄️ The "Atlanta 60" Temperature Warning

This is the most important part for Zone 7/8! Once our overnight lows start dipping towards 60°F, it’s time to bring your pineapple inside. They do not like the cold snaps we get in October. Keep it away from drafty doors and near a light source until the Georgia humidity returns in May.

🍍 Harvest Time

Don't rush it! Wait for the base of the fruit to turn a golden-yellow and for it to smell like a tropical vacation. Once it’s ripe, twist it off, eat the fruit, and don't throw away the top! Plant the crown back in a pot, and you’ll start the cycle all over again.

Wilbur’s Pro-Tip:

Pair this with one of our 15G Windmill Palms to create a multi-level tropical canopy on your patio. It’s the easiest way to feel like you’re at a resort without leaving the perimeter.
