Will pineapples die when they bloom?

Yes, but it will not die immediately. It will grow for 1-2 years after flowering. But you can take this opportunity to reproduce.

The flowers of air pineapple begin to wither. It is suggested to cut off these withered stems, so as to produce more young plants. When the seedlings of the split plant start to sprout, the leaves at the bottom of the plant will start to loosen and wilt. At this time, do not cut off the leaves, because these places are the position of the bud eyes of the seedlings. When the seedlings grow up, they can be divided and the mother plants can rest.
