🍍 Mini green pineapple on top of a stem • 🌿 Long grey-green leaves in a rosette • ☀️ Bright light • 💧 Moderate watering, also in the rosette • 🐾 Non-toxic • 🎁 An original plant to give • 📏 H35-40 cm | Pot Ø12 cm
Ananas comosus 'Mi Amigo' is an ornamental pineapple: in the centre of a rosette of long, narrow, arching grey-green leaves, an upright stem bears a small green pineapple crowned with its tuft of leaves. It is a European horticultural selection of the pineapple, a bromeliad from South America.
Delivered at 35-40 cm tall in a 12 cm pot, it instantly brings an exotic touch to a bright kitchen, living room or office. Among our tropical plants, it is one of the most original, and it is part of our indoor plants that are non-toxic to pets.
Which ornamental pineapple should you choose?
Our ornamental pineapples differ in the colour of their fruit and their presentation — here is how the 'Mi Amigo' compares:
- Ananas 'Mi Amigo' (this plant) — mini green pineapple on an upright stem, grey-green foliage, H35-40 cm | Pot Ø12 cm. The choice for a slender silhouette and a fruit in its natural colour.
- Bromelia Ananas — colourful mini fruit in the heart of dark green foliage, H30 cm | Pot Ø12 cm. The choice for a more compact, colourful version.
- Ananas Rosita in a ceramic pot — mini pineapple that turns pink, delivered in its ceramic pot, H35 cm. The choice for gifting a plant that is ready to display.
Exposure & location
The Ananas 'Mi Amigo' loves light: it is what keeps its foliage dense and makes its fruit last.
- Exposure: bright light, near a window; it tolerates a few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon sun.
- Location: a bright kitchen, living room, office or conservatory, away from cold draughts.
- Temperature: 18 to 26 °C, never below 15 °C.
- Soil type: light and well-draining, such as bromeliad or orchid potting mix.
From June to September, it can spend the summer on a sheltered balcony or terrace, in partial shade, then come back indoors before the first cool nights.
Watering & maintenance
Like all bromeliads, it drinks both through its roots and through the heart of its leaf rosette. Keep the potting mix slightly moist, especially in summer, following the basics of watering houseplants.
- Watering: moderate — when the surface of the potting mix is dry, without ever soaking it.
- Rosette: pour a little water into the heart of the rosette and refresh it every two weeks.
- Water: preferably low in lime and at room temperature.
- Fertilizer: a diluted liquid fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks in spring and summer.
In winter, in a heated room, water the potting mix less often and keep just a little water in the rosette.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its small pineapple on top of a stem catches the eye at once, and it lends itself to colour and texture combinations with other tropical plants.
- For a bromeliad trio, pair it with the Guzmania 'Hope' — its large colourful inflorescence echoes the pineapple's green fruit, and both are watered in the rosette.
- To play with heights, place the Vriesea 'Elan' next to it — its 55 cm upright flower spike extends the slender silhouette of the 'Mi Amigo'.
- For a warm touch, slip its pot into the golden ochre Gabriel decorative pot in Ø14 cm — the ochre recalls the colour of a ripe pineapple and warms up the grey-green foliage.
- As a gift, it is a plant that always surprises: find more ideas among our plants ready to display or gift.
On a kitchen worktop near a window, it finds both the light it loves and a setting that suits it naturally.
Verdeia tips
- A purely decorative fruit: the small pineapple is ornamental and not edible; it stays decorative for several months.
- Keep the offsets: after fruiting, the mother plant produces small shoots at its base; let them reach about 15 cm, then separate and repot them to get new plants.
- Turn the pot from time to time: a quarter turn every week keeps the fruit stem nice and straight instead of letting it lean towards the light.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
