With the decrease in residences, the demand for the production of plants with a landscape effect in reduced size and more compact has grown. The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and accumulation of nutrients in a potted ornamental pineapple hybrid, treated with paclobutrazol and subjected to early floral induction. The experimental design used was a randomized block, factorial arrangement (2 × 5), with 4 replications and 4 plants per plot. The primary treatments were the presence and absence of the plant growth regulator paclobutrazol (PBZ). The secondary treatments were five times of floral induction with ethylene: 90, 120, 150, 180, and 210 days after transplanting (DAT) of the seedlings. At 130, 160, 190, 220, and 250 DAT, the following variables were evaluated: leaf area; fresh and dry mass of leaves; stems and roots; sodium; macro and micronutrient contents in the plant. The use of paclobutrazol reduces vegetative growth and the accumulation of fresh and dry mass of the aerial and root parts.
