Origin: The pineapple is native to southern Brazil and Paraguay where wild relatives occur.

In 1493 Columbus found the fruit on the island of Guadaloupe and carried it back to Spain and it was spread around the world on sailing ships that carried it for protection against scurvy. The Spanish introduced it into the Philippines and may have taken it to Hawaii and Guam early in the 16th Century.

When I touch them, they fall asleep.

The leaves fold up when touched. If touched with a bit more force, the petioles will also bend at their pulvinis and the leaves droop.

At night, the leaves will also fold and bend in movements known as nyctonastic movements (reaction to absence of light).
