Induce Pineapple Fruiting

These pineapple plants are 2 years old and mature enough to fruit.  Sometimes pineapple plants are reluctant fruiters.  I have placed apples, which produce ethylene gas, around the plant so that the gas will trigger fruiting.  This method would be even more effective if I enclosed the plant and apples in a plastic bag so the gas could concentrate more.
