I’ve been trying to propagate 2 Maui pineapples I brought back from Hawaii and I have a couple questions. This is my first time ever trying to propagate and grow anything. I put them in water on September 16 and I believe the left one is ready to be planted. The leaves weren’t this yellow and dry when I first placed them in water.
Do I need to cut off the dry section of the leaves? Should I wait some more before planting them? Do you have any tips on growing pineapple?
Thank you in advance!!

how much light are they getting?
Depending on what quality water you’re using to propagate the pineapples with , it could be that the tips are crispy due to the presence of impurities/heavy metals in the water (like chlorine/chloramine)
Hi! I have propagated pineapples this way before. I think the one on the right has good roots to plant now and water. Wait a few more weeks on the other for more roots. After planting I had cut the brown tips off and it made the plant look horrible. I had just as many brown tips as you and it literally looked like I ran it over with a lawn mower. It was not cute lol. I don’t think it affects the plant much to leave the tips. As long as you’re getting new leaves from the center of the crown, you’re good.
