Judy,

I don't generally go to that much trouble. I just take a sharp knife and cut
the pineappling off at the point it comes out of the rz. Dust it with comet
and leave the cut edge exposed. I don't think there is a need to dig and
replant which would cost you that years bloom if you did it in the spring.
