As many plants as your green-thumbed bestie might have scattered throughout their house, we're willing to bet that one flowering a pineapple isn’t one of them — but it could be. Bloomscape, a company that delivers plants to your door, is selling Ananas comosus, better known as the bromeliad, or Pineapple Plant. The healthy, pre-potted indoor plant sprouts a tiny, adorable pineapple that will truly fill any home with all the summer feels.

When it comes to difficulty, Bloomscape has this option listed as “no-fuss,” which is what we’re all about! As such, this bromeliad doesn’t require a lot of effort on your giftee’s part, due to the fact that it doesn’t need to be watered daily, and it thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Plus, it’s great for keeping indoor air fresh, and it’s also safe for pet owners since this plant isn’t toxic. That said, the pineapple this plant grows isn’t exactly meant for making piña coladas, so they won’t want to go eating the fruit (Bloomscape notes that this plant is “ornamental,” and a page on Plantquility states
that Bromeliads “can cause some irritation when brushed or ingested.“) Overall, though this Bromeliad is a low-maintenance plant that is sure to make an impact in their space.
You also get to select the color of the ecopot and saucer the plant comes in. The five hues include Stone (gray), Clay (burnt orange), Charcoal (black), Slate (bluish-gray), and Indigo (dark blue). It’s available on Bloomscape's website for $79, and you have the option of adding a wooden plant stool for $50 — because, obviously, your giftee's new baby deserves to be displayed properly.
In case this is your first time shopping with Bloomscape, just know that you made a solid decision for your recipient. The company transports your selection in about three days from its own greenhouse, ensuring your giftee gets a lush, happy plant. They'll also have access to Bloomscape's Grow-How Team to answer all their burning "how do I raise a pineapple plant?" questions. Basically, Bloomscape makes it nearly impossible to screw up the role of being a plant parent.
