We pretty reliably get ~2 weeks of -20F in January and I still don't cover them. I ran out of time in the fall and didn't cover them one year and instead of having to replant them they came back way better than the year before - so I just stopped.
You ideally root it in water first. You don't cut the top off you twist the leaves off but if you root that and plant it then it will grow.
Thank you. That last part you mentioned about climate is important. Denmark is not the ideal place for many of these plants. I have killed an (indoor, obviously) coconut palm this year.
There is almost no way to grow a pineapple in Denmark unless you really want to. Even in a greenhouse they are very wide spreading plants with sharp tips and spikes all down the sides of the leaves which are pretty firm and just in general not pleasant to be around and it would probably take up over a meter in diameter before it will fruit.
Get a pothos. They "leak" rooting hormones. If you put a pothos cutting in water with any other cutting, it'll root faster.
No I just got the fucking one autistic dog from the litter or some shit. 'loves large gardens' they all said only for this fucking bitch to just sit basically right on the fucking back door step. If she's not going to use it then I might as well. Guardian patrol dog they said and sold me a fucking giant obese white cat. Maybe she's just guarding the door you think but no she is a fucking cat and just wants to sunbathe. The only way she's guarding anything is if an intruder trips over her fucking fat ass while she's asleep. You can tell pyrs are French because they refuse to do any work at all half the time and just exist to get in your way.
I don't know why but any time I've seen people root pineapples it's been just a jar that you put the cutting in. You just find a jar, put the leaves in and fill the water up to the right level. I don't know exactly why but I've never seen anyone put toothpicks in like an avocado seed. Not sure if there's a reason for it but it'd be a bit hard to secure the leaves and also have an extra cutting alongside it.
You should give us more details about your garden and what damage they are causing, but baited snap traps in places where a curious dog or somesuch can't get to it may work. Do not under any circumstances use poison. There is a good chance that said curious dog or some other innocent predator could consume the dead rat and themselves be poisoned and die an agonizing death. You also don't want that shit leeching into your garden soil, like anywhere near it.
their living under my neighbor's porch and they've already scattered poison everywhere just fucking up all the other wildlife (Indians) I put up a trailcam to see what tore up everything and they jump up into my raised beds and go to town. I've thought about getting an airgun but I watched some reviews specifically for taking care of pests and I felt too bad watching them twitch after the fella shot them.
