You can try to force it to flower with an apple too. The apple releases some compound when it decays that stimulates flowering apparently. Sorry I’m too lazy to look up the specifics.

Naw it's okay, i just plant it last month so it would be at least 2 years before it's necessary

Relevant article about pineapple growing.

The paragraph about flowering indeed mentions the ethylene gas.
