🍉 What is your favorite Guava variety?

Our top pick? Tikal Guava!

Okay, we'll admit it - the tree growth habit can be pretty weird: branches grow at some interesting 90-degree angles, giving it a bit of a wild, chaotic vibe. Think Barbados Cherry bush - if you've seen that unruly spectacle! 😰

But let's focus on what really matters: the fruit. Tikal produces the best pink guava, no contest! It is disease-resistant, fast-growing, super sweet, and boasts very few seeds - huge bonus! Plus, Tikal is a reliable producer, making it perfect for beginners or anyone eager for quick, delicious results. 🌟

🍍 We ate all pineapples from that ugly corner!

All the Pineapples that we mentioned in our earlier post, have ripened and we already ate them all!
Note that this amazing fruit grows in the most neglected corner of the yard, with NO irrigation, and in pretty hot sunny spot - by the water treatment tank. Yet look how happy the plants are!

🏕 Are you tired of boring office plants?

• 💤 Tired of boring office plants? Try the ZZ Plant! This ancient beauty, nicknamed the Aroid Palm, is anything but ordinary. Its thick glossy leaves make it a bold statement piece, miles ahead of a common Ficus or Dieffenbachia.
• 💤 The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) isn't just stylish - it's tough. This drought-tolerant wonder thrives on negleform new plants all on their own, a quirky trick unique to this ancient relic. And its very shade-tolerant, so you can place it in pretty much any spot except a closet...
• 💤 Easy care, jaw-dropping looks, and an air of mystery - the ZZ Plant is the ultimate pick to upgrade your workspace vibe!

📚 Check out the black leaf variety Zamioculcas x Black Dragon - Black ZZ Plant that we mentioned earlier:
Black-black-black plant! It's totally black, that's right!

🍨How to harvest and eat Monstera Ice Cream

• 🍀 Monstera deliciosa - Swiss Cheese Plant - is a stunning jungle climber from Mexico and Guatemala celebrated for its dramatic, perforated leaves and delectable tropical fruit.
• 🍀 Known for its large, fenestrated leaves with oblong or oval perforations, giving it the nickname "Swiss Cheese Plant."
• 🍀 In its natural habitat, seedlings grow toward darkness until they locate a tree, then climb toward the light.
• 🍀 Fruits begin appearing about three years after planting. The 9-inch, green, cone-like fruit ripens over a year, its scales separating to reveal sweet, creamy white pulp.
• 🍀 Tastes like a mix of pineapple, sugar apple and ice cream with a strong tropical aroma.
• 🍀 The fruit must be ripe to eat, as unripe pulp contains oxalic acid, which irritates the mouth and throat. To ripen, pick when the base wrinkles slightly, then wrap in a bag. When the scales loosen, it’s ready to eat. Rinse off black specks before eating.
• 🍀 Spectacular variety Thai Constellation is a stunning variegated form with cream-and-green marbled leaves, has become a collector's dream. Specimens can sell for thousands of dollars, making it one of the most sought-after houseplants.
