Has anyone done this in south Louisiana? I just peeled one and someone said to replant it in a pot.
Has anyone been successful?

Yes. I've grown a few but it's been years. IIRC, you just take the crown, clean off as much fruit as possible, set it in a glass of water until the roots start growing, then plant it in soil.

I grew them in the ground in South Florida. Would just plant crown.

Yes, grew one in a pot once. Plant the crown and water it from the top. It feeds from the funnel in the top, not the roots. Takes 2 years for it to make another pineapple, so you need to be able to keep it warm in the winter.

Growing the plant is easy.. just plant the crown. Getting it to make fruit is a whole differant story.

A girl a dated a long time back, her grandfather was the first to successfully grow a pineapple in S.LA. They still had the newspaper clippings.
Can be done.
