❗️ All fertilizers and good for plants, because it's food!
But like with every food in must be in right time, right kind, and right amount.
Basic types of fertilizers:
❇️ Controlled-release fertilizer is coated and release nutrients slowly and constantly within labeled amount of time (3-6-12 months). Good for stepping-up and transplanting.
❇️ Slow release granulated fertilizer breaks down quickly, especially in the heat, and should be used as a top-dress only occasionally (for example, to green up a plant quickly).
❇️ Liquid fertilizers are the most efficient in a long run. They make plants strong, resistant, healthy and productive, slowly but surely building up energy in their system. This is why all professional food farms, from veggies to hemp, stick to liquid plant food.
We suggest Sunshine Boosters, they are safe to use with every watering and year around. Their formulas are natural (based on organic amino-acids) and great for edibles.

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is one of the most fascinating tropical fruit, as we showed earlier.
- 👉 In spite of reputation being ultra tropical, the tree is not as cold sensitive as everyone believes. Mature trees can withstand light frost for a few hours without significant damage. Keeping Jackfruit in a pot is also an option in colder areas.
- 👉 The fruit is so large and heavy that the tree has a smart feature to produce only at the base of the trunk. This makes it possible to keep Jackfruit tree at very short height - 6-7 ft tall. It can be grown in containers considering regular topping/pruning.
🔻 Secrets of Jackfruit successful production:
- 📍 Frost free temperatures
- 📍 Soil rich of organic matter (compost, manure, peat moss)
- 📍 Moist soil and regular watering
- 📍 Constant pruning and keeping under 7-10 ft
- 📍Regular application of fertilizer, microelements and SUNSHINE-Honey supplement for better quality fruit.
