Why does everyone want a Miracle fruit plant?
Miracle Fruit - Synsepalum dulcificum
❓ Why does everyone want a Miracle fruit plant?
✨ Because it's pure magic for your taste buds! The small red berry of Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) contains a natural compound called miraculin that temporarily makes sour things taste sweet. Lemons taste like lemonade, vinegar like candy! It's fun, fascinating, and even helpful - especially for those undergoing chemotherapy who need help enjoying food again. A miracle? Pretty close!

- 💮 Twelve-inch leaves and a perfume cloud? Yes, it's real. Chonemorpha fragrans, or Frangipani vine, is a large woody tropical liana with clusters of large, perfume-fragrant flowers and lush green foliage. It is close related to perfumed Plumeria - Frangipani.
- 💮 Chonemorpha fragrans, the stunning Frangipani vine is a classic tropical woody climber, Plumeria's wilder cousin, bursting with huge, lush leaves (up to 12 inches long!) and clusters of intensely fragrant, creamy white flowers that smell just like your favorite Plumeria.
- 💮 Unlike its tree-form relative, this beauty grows as a vine and needs a strong support to climb - think fence, trellis, or pergola.
- 💮 Plant it in full sun for the best bloom show, though it's happy in partial shade too.
- 💮 With the right care and some fertilizer, it will turn your garden into a fragrant paradise and stop guests in their tracks. Plant it by your sitting area, and enjoy nature's own perfume drifting in the breeze!

A: Absolutely! Yes, it is quite a process... But homegrown coffee lets you enjoy the freshest, chemical-free beans with rich flavor and the satisfaction of growing it yourself. Besides, it's fun! Below is a quick guide how to grow and make your own coffee from freshly harvested coffee fruit (called "cherries").
- Harvest the ripe cherries
- Remove the beans
- Dry the beans
- Remove the parchment
- Roast the beans
- Cool and grind
Pick the bright red fruits when they are fully ripe. These contain the coffee beans inside.
Squeeze the cherries to pop out the seeds (beans). Rinse off any pulp and soak them in water for 1-2 days to ferment and remove the slimy coating.
Spread the clean beans on a tray in a sunny, dry spot. Let them dry for 1-2 weeks, turning them daily, until they feel hard and papery.
Once dried, crack and remove the thin husk around each bean. You now have green coffee beans ready to roast.
Use a dry skillet or oven. Heat until beans turn brown and fragrant, stirring constantly. The longer you roast, the darker and stronger the flavor.
Let roasted beans cool completely, then grind them just before brewing. Enjoy your homemade cup of fresh coffee!
