Eucomis comosa, commonly known as the Pineapple Lily, is a bulbous perennial plant native to South Africa. It belongs to the family Asparagaceae and the genus Eucomis. The plant is known for its striking flower spikes that resemble a pineapple, hence the common name. It thrives in subtropical climates and has a dormancy period during the winter months.
To care for Eucomis comosa, provide it with bright, indirect light and maintain moderate temperatures. The plant prefers a humid environment but can tolerate average household humidity levels. Water the plant when the top layer of soil dries out, ensuring it does not sit in waterlogged soil.
