The leaves surrounding the fruit often have a reddish tint, especially when the plant is mature or in the flowering phase.

Size: The plant generally reaches a height of around 2 to 3 feet (60-90 cm), making it smaller compared to regular pineapple plants.

Fruit: The red pineapple has a bright red to pinkish appearance when ripe, unlike the typical golden yellow pineapples. The fruit's flesh is usually sweet and slightly tangy, just like regular pineapples, but can be a bit smaller in size.

Growing Conditions: Red pineapple plants prefer warm, tropical conditions with plenty of sunlight. They thrive in well-draining soil and need consistent watering, though they don't like to be waterlogged. They?re typically grown in tropical regions or as ornamental plants in temperate climates in containers.

Uses: Aside from its decorative appeal, red pineapples are also edible. However, they're more commonly cultivated for ornamental purposes rather than mass consumption due to their size and relatively limited production.
