It started growing the normal pineapple a couple months ago, and I just noticed this parasitic twin popping out out the side

What is happening? Is it a pup? @TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world

    I can’t see any pup in this picture so i assume there might be one growing, but you can cut it if the size is big enough for you to propagate it, like maybe about 6 inch or so long, peel off some of the leaves at the base, soak the base in water until it root, then plant it.

      See the leaf that’s at the top right and is all blurry? Trace that down to where it meets the stalk. There the leaf splits in the middle and there’s a bump growing. That’s the thing I’m wondering about.
