I don’t plant my pineapples outside in the summer, I just leave them in the greenhouse. However, in most cases, it is a good idea to move the pineapple, in its pot, outside for the summer.
In the case of a damaged area on the plant as you describe, I would remove the decaying area and pot up the plant. Since there are roots forming on the undamaged part, the pineapple should recover and compensate for the injury by growing more roots later on.
Good luck to you,
Bob

2 questions.

1) do you plant your pineapples outside in the summer and bring them in in the winter?

2) Check this out:

One of my pineapple plants was attacked by a squirrel (the squirrel chewed out a portion of the plant base), and I brought him inside to revive him.

After three weeks in a jar of water, the pineapple plant again has roots that grew from the bottom of the leaves. I want to repot him in soil, but the part that the squirrel attacked has rotted, and I’m hesitant to cut this off and attempt drying for a day because of the budding root system.

What do you think about this situation in caring for my plant?

sincerely, Hex

Great pictures!! Thanks for all your valuable information
