Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm

Variegated Spiral Ginger - Costus arabicus (amazonicus)

⭐️ Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm
  • 🌀 Variegated Spiral Ginger - Costus arabicus (amazonicus) is not your average ginger. Unlike the common gingers with plain green leaves and short flower spikes, this one is a real standout. Its tall spiral stems are striped with bold white variegation, creating a dramatic swirl of green and cream even before it blooms.
  • 🌀 And when it does bloom - the flowers are pure white with soft yellow centers, like porcelain sculptures nestled among the leaves. It's a tropical showpiece that turns heads wherever it grows.
  • 🌀 Originally from South America and now loved in Hawaii and Florida, this ginger thrives in moist, rich soil and loves plenty of water. It handles both sun and shade, but really shines in a bright, filtered light spot.
  • 🌀 We have one growing right by our farm office, and everyone who walks by stops, stares, and says the same thing: "I want that plant!"

Now you can have it too - straight from the Amazon forest to your garden!

Guava beats banana in the potassium game. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Guava beats banana in the potassium game

🍉 Guava beats banana in the potassium game
  • 🍉Everyone talks about bananas when it comes to potassium, but guava (Tropical Guava - Psidium guajava) quietly beats them! One cup of guava packs around 688 milligrams of potassium, compared to about 450 in a banana!
  • 🍉Potassium is essential for strong bones, steady blood pressure, muscle function, and a healthy nervous system. Adults need between 2,600 and 3,400 mg daily, according to the National Institute of Health - so adding guava to your fruit bowl is a smart move.
  • 🍉Guavas are common across the tropics - from Mexico to the Caribbean - with green or yellow skin and beautiful pink or off-white flesh. Sweet, aromatic, and easy to grow in warm climates, guava is one tropical fruit that truly earns its place in the garden and on your plate.


🛒 Your body needs potassium - your garden grows it on guava tree!
