    My current routine right now is I’ve been using a 1 pint mason jar to fill with distilled water until it just touches the base before the leaves. Changing out that water every 2 days since May 9th. I’m going on my 6th week this coming Saturday the 20th and the roots have gotten pretty long. I use a grow light on the warm setting with a 9 hour timer that comes on 10 minutes before 9am and goes off just before 6pm. I make sure that the room temp is at least 71-74°F and the humidity is at least 60%. Living in TX I feel like it’s too hot to keep it outside since the range for pineapples should be 65-85°F and it’s been in the 90s and going to be 100 soon. I could start keeping it outside at night since it only drops down to mid 70s, but my controlled climate seemed to do pretty good for rooting in water.
