Stuck on growing a pineapple

Spent saturday trying to grow a pineapple and got about halfway. Renting, so anything permanent is out. What would you try next? Cheers.

What part are you stuck on? Rooting it is the step most people get wrong. Twist the top off a ripe pineapple, pull off the bottom few rows of leaves so there's an inch or so of bare stem, and let it dry for a few days so the cut end doesn't rot. Then either stand it in water till roots show or plant it straight into a fast-draining mix. Bright light, warm, water sparingly. Be patient though, it usually takes two to three years before it flowers and fruits.
