How much should ( time) should pineapple plants be watered?

Chat gpt:

For pineapple plants, the amount of water depends on their size and the soil drainage. Here’s a guideline to estimate the volume:

Water Volume per Plant:

• Young Plants: About 1/2 gallon (2 liters) per week.
• Mature Plants: Around 1 gallon (4 liters) per week.

Using a Hose:

• A typical garden hose flows at 6–12 gallons per minute (depending on water pressure and nozzle).
• To deliver 1 gallon of water:
  • Without a nozzle: Let the hose run for 5–10 seconds.
  • With a nozzle set to low/medium flow: Water for 10–15 seconds per plant.

Tips:

• Water slowly to ensure it soaks into the soil rather than running off.
• If you have sandy, well-draining soil, water a bit more to compensate for faster drainage.
• Check the soil moisture after watering; it should feel moist but not soggy at a depth of 1–2 inches.

Adjust based on the local weather—hotter, drier conditions might require slightly more water.
