Here's a little trick that has worked for me. You don't have to wait 2 years for that pineapple. Once the the plant is 1 year old or at least large enough to bear a decent size fruit, try cutting up some apple into small pieces and drop a few right into the center of the plant. The apple contains certain acids that encourage or force flowering. There are other fruits that also contain this acid and will work as well, but I can only speak from experience concerning the apples. Anyhow, give it a try, its worked for me!
