Rainbow plumerias - the wild side of color. Winter dormancy tip 🌈

Some plumerias don’t follow rules - they mix, swirl, and splash colors all over the petals like a tropical sunset in motion. These “rainbow” types are the most playful and unpredictable, with every bloom looking a little different from the next.

🌸 Today's featured plumerias:


  •  ✦ Plumeria Mui Rainbow - deep orange-red center blending into golden yellow and finishing with pink to magenta edges. Bright, fiery colors with a smooth, glowing transition.
  •  ✦ Plumeria Pink Jaopraya - a bold swirl of red, white, pink, and yellow all in one flower. Complex, eye-catching, and impossible to ignore.
  •  ✦ Plumeria Sunset Symphony - creamy ivory, golden yellow, and coral-pink tones with deeper rose edges, creating a layered sunset effect that shifts from bloom to bloom.
  •  ✦ Plumeria Dook - rich pink petals melting into a glowing orange and golden center. Bright, warm, and full of tropical energy that stands out from a distance.


💡 Plumeria tip: winter dormancy



In cooler months, plumerias slow down and may drop all leaves. That’s normal.
During this rest period, cut watering way back and let the plant sleep.
Growth will restart when temperatures rise.

How to protect Mango Trees from Cold Weather

How to protect Mango Trees from Cold Weather



🌞 Mango trees love warm weather. They grow best in temperatures between 70F to 100F.

📍 Cold weather can be harmful to mango trees: when the temperature drops below freezing, trees can get damaged. Frost can hurt young leaves and flowers, reducing the amount of fruit.

💬 Ways to protect mango trees from cold


  • 🔹 Right location: Plant in sunny areas with protection from cold winds.

  • 🔹 Cover them up: Use blankets or frost cloth to protect young trees.

  • 🔹 Add mulch: Helps keep the roots warm during cold weather.

  • 🔹 Move potted trees: Bring them inside when it gets too cold.

  • 🔹 Use Sunshine Boosters to improve tree hardiness


➡ Fertilized mango trees are stronger and more resilient.
  • ➡ They grow faster and have better root systems, making them more hardy against cold weather.
  • ➡ Sunshine Boosters provide the essential nutrients needed for strength and vigor, helping plants recover faster from cold damage.


🥭 Sunshine Boosters "Mango Tango" makes mango trees stronger and more resistant to cold. A well-fed tree can survive cold better and produce more fruit. With Sunshine Boosters, you ensure your mango trees stay healthy, even in chilly weather!

Harvesting from a young mango tree

Q: About a year ago we bought a mango tree from you folks and planted it in our backyard in Estero. It has done well. It now has several mangoes and I am wondering if the tree is strong enough to support the fruit or if I should just cut off the fruit and wait until next year when the tree is a bit stronger. I am attaching some pictures. I am most concerned about the branch on the right which seems to be sagging. If you do not suggest that I cut off the fruit, can I wait until they ripen on the tree and eat them. They seem to be a bit on the small side for eating.

A: Your mango tree looks very healthy and happy, congratulation with a great job! For young mango trees, it is always recommended to minimize a number of fruit to 2-3 so the tree has enough energy for vegetative growth rather than fruiting. In your case, as we can see from the pictures, your tree is very well established, has a strong root system, nice symmetrical shape, and vigorous new growth. In our opinion, you can save all these fruit and let them ripen on the tree. To support the plant's energy, make sure to fertilize it during summer with slow-release Mango Food, and year around - with Mango Tango booster. Use Sunshine Honey supplement for sweeter fruit.
Secure the heavy fruit branch with a v-shape stake (a big branch may work), it can definitely use the support otherwise may break under strong Florida winds. You are all set to enjoy your first crop and be rewarded with fruit of your excellent work!

🥭 Xosi Tu Quy, Four‑Seasons, or Jin Huang, is a Vietnamese variety celebrated for its ability to flower and fruit multiple times annually. It produces medium-to-large, bright yellow, firm, fiber‑free fruit with a small seed and crisp, mildly sweet flesh. Ideal for green-eating and pickling, it also ripens to a gentle sweetness with floral-honey nuance. The tree grows vigorously with a dense canopy and shows good resistance to anthracnose - perfect for warm, humid, tropical or subtropical yards. In Florida it typically fruits May-August, possibly longer in ideal conditions.
