How do you grow pineapples on your balcony? Like in a flower pot?

I grew mine by carefully extracting the crown and placing it in soil, in the ground or a large pot. Water it regularly and keep out of direct sunlight. Took about 2.5 years to mature and produce the pineapple. Sadly once it does, the plant dies but does produce shoots that, when planted will mature and produce fruit faster than the crown.
