How to feed the right formula at the right time

How to feed the right formula at the right time



Most plants don’t need more fertilizer - they need the right one at the right stage. Growth, flowering, and fruiting all require different support. Once you match feeding to what the plant is actually doing, everything starts to improve.

☘️ One system for every plant and stage



The Sunshine Boosters system includes different formulas for different stages of growth or plant types. Some are designed for young plants, some for vegetative growth, and others for flowering and fruiting. This allows you to match feeding to what your plant is doing without changing the overall system. All formulas, including additional supplements, remain compatible and can be used together when needed.

☘️ Build structure and foliage



Sunshine Robusta supports vegetative growth. It is useful for building strong structure, adding foliage, and helping plants recover after stress or damage.
Sunshine Bombino is a gentle formula for young plants, seedlings, and cuttings. It supports early root development without stressing tender growth.
Sunshine Home is made for indoor houseplants. It is mild and balanced for regular feeding of sensitive plants grown indoors.
  • ☘️ Feeding for flowers
    Sunshine Megaflor is a bloom booster. It helps plants produce more flowers, improves flower size, and supports strong pollen development.
    Sunshine Pikake is designed for fragrant flowering plants. It increases the number of blooms and improves flower fragrance.
    Sunshine Orchidasm is a complete feed for orchids. It supports steady growth and encourages longer and more frequent blooming cycles.
  • ☘️ Feeding for fruit and yield
    Sunshine C-Cibus is a crop and fruit booster. It is used during flowering and fruit development to improve yield and plant vigor.
    Sunshine Mango Tango is designed for mango trees. It helps improve flowering, fruit set, and reduces flower and fruit drop.
    Sunshine Citron is a complete formula for citrus trees. It supports healthy leaves, strong growth, flowering, and fruit production.
    Sunshine Ananas is made for bromeliads and pineapple. It supports healthy growth and improves fruit quality in these plants.

☘️ Additional boosters that take plants to the next level



Beyond the base nutrition, Sunshine Boosters includes additional products that help plants perform better during key stages of growth. All formulas, including supplements, are compatible and can be used together when needed.

☘️ Full microelement support



Sunshine SuperFood is a microelement supplement that corrects deficiencies and improves flowering and fruiting. It helps with yellow leaves, weak growth, poor rooting, and low fruit set.

☘️ Growth and stress support



Sunshine Epi is a natural bio-stimulant that supports faster growth, stronger roots, and better resistance to stress. It helps plants handle cold, heat, drought, and disease.

All these boosters work together with the base Sunshine Boosters system. They do not replace regular feeding but enhance it. When used at the right time, they help plants grow stronger, flower better, and produce higher-quality fruit with improved taste and appearance. 👉 More...

Prepare your plants for Winter with Sunshine Boosters

Tropical  Plants  on  Winter  Windowsill

We usually stop using dry slow-release fertilizers from November to March. However, liquid Sunshine Boosters, which are natural plant food, can be used all year. They help your plants survive winter. When it gets colder, we water less, so the fertilizer decreases too. The plants only use what they need. To learn more about how Sunshine Boosters work and why they're safe and helpful, check out this blog: Using Sunshine Booster during Winter.

Sunshine  boosters  formulas

Apart from giving your plants nutrients during winter, you also can improve their ability to handle the cold. Try the Sunshine Boosters supplement kit for tropical plants. Follow the schedule and use three different supplements: SUNSHINE Superfood, SUNSHINE Epi, and SUNSHINE-Power-Si. Read more about treatment with Sunshine boosters supplement kit.

Sunshine Boosters Microelement Supplements

🍲 What Fertilizer to Use Now and How?
Part 3. Micro elements



✔️ Microelement Supplements Are a Must


Besides macronutrients (daily plant food), plants need additional microelements, just like humans need vitamins. Be sure to apply these supplements along with your regular plant food:

✔️ For Green Leaves and Health


Sunshine SuperFood - Complex Microelement Supplement: a must for healthy plants and beautiful, green leaves. Apply once a month.

✔️ For Stress Relief


Did you know that plants get stressed out too? Too much sun, to wet, too dry, too cold, or simply bugged by insects!
Sunshine-Epi - Brassinosteroid Plant Hormone: essential for plants recovering from stress (shipping, transplanting, drought, insect damage, cold stress, etc.). Apply as needed.

✔️ For Sweeter, Bigger Fruit


Sunshine Honey - Fruit Sugar Booster: application on fruit trees will make fruit bigger and sweeter by directing sugars to the fruit from other plant parts, and helps to prevent bud drop. Apply 4 times a year: at bud setting, flowering, fruit setting, and after harvesting.

✔️ For Better Resistance


Sunshine Power Si - Silicon Protector - enhances resistance to insects, diseases, drought, and frost, while boosting growth. Apply once a month, along with Sunshine SuperFood.

Sunshine supplement kit for cold hardiness

Video by Scott Riddle

Discover the cool story of Scott Riddle, a well-known plant enthusiast with a popular YouTube channel dedicated to his tropical plant collection. In this video, Scott shares his firsthand experience with our Sunshine micro-element kit, designed to enhance the cold hardiness of plants.
Living in the unpredictable climate of the California mountains, where he cultivates tropical plants in a zone higher than recommended, Scott faced the challenge of unexpected freezes. The boosters hopefully will be a game-changer for him, reinforcing his plants for the winter season. This insightful and detailed video is a valuable resource for anyone engaged in zone-pushing, aiming to fortify their tropical plants against the rigors of challenging weather conditions.

Here at Top Tropicals, we have already applied two pre-winter treatments of Sunshine Power-Si formula, in combination with the bio-stimulant Sunshine Epi and micro-elements. One in November, the second one in the beginning of December. So far, after a couple of cold nights, the plants still look happy. Stay warm and get prepared!"
