>I think that your plant is over-watered.  You really should not water it
more than once a week during the winter time, and a maximum of twice a week
in summer, and you should let it dry out between watering.  Also liquid food
should be added to water once a week when the fruit is forming.  Another
thing you should look for is that the plant is in a protected from  the
draughts position.

The last thing I can tell you, is not to worry about the plant if the fruit
is there.  Its leaves shrivel and die after flowering.  All Ananas
(pineapples) die after flowering!!

I whish you the best of luck with your plant.
