Cat Pelmen has officially expanded his winter collection. The alien has landed - in knitwear. As a very serious Sphynx gentleman, he does not simply wear a sweater… he curates it. This season’s look? Cozy, practical, slightly dramatic. While other cats grow fur, Pelmen upgrades his wardrobe. Warm, dignified, and faintly extraterrestrial - he is ready for winter. 👽
Spring has arrived, and plants are coming back to life. New shoots are
appearing, fresh leaves are unfolding, and roots are beginning to grow
actively again. As plants enter this important stage of the season, they
need more than just water to support their growth. Proper nutrition is
essential for strong development and healthy
plants. SUNSHINE
Boosters provide the balanced nutrition plants need to start the growing
season strong.
A simple rule we follow in our nursery: new growth responds best to foliar
feeding.
When nutrients are sprayed directly on the leaves, plants can absorb them
quickly and efficiently.
Immediate action – nutrients are absorbed through the
leaves and start working right away.
No delay traveling through soil – plants do not need to
wait for nutrients to move down to the roots.
Avoids soil lockout – micronutrients can become unavailable
in high pH soils, but foliar feeding bypasses this problem.
Supports stressed plants – when roots are cold, damaged, or
newly transplanted, foliar feeding helps
plants recover faster.
However, sometimes plants begin to show visible nutrient deficiencies.
Yellow leaves, slow growth, brown leaf edges, or distorted new leaves are
often early signs that the plant is missing essential elements needed for
healthy development.

These symptoms are especially common in container plants, where nutrients
can be quickly depleted or become
unavailable due to soil pH and watering conditions.
Use the quick reference table below to identify common nutrient-related
symptoms and the recommended SUNSHINE solution to correct them.

For most plants, foliar feeding works best when applied lightly and
regularly during active growth.
Regular feeding (maintenance): Mix with tap water according to
the ratio on the label. For SUNSHINE Robusta use 25 ml (5 tsp)per gallon
of water and spray leaves every 5-7
days during active growth.
Correction feeding ("medicine" dose): if plants show visible
nutrient deficiencies, combine SUNSHINE Robusta with SUNSHINE Superfood and
spray every 5–7 days until new growth appears healthy. All SUNSHINE
Boosters
products are compatible and can be mixed with water in the same sprayer.
Best time to spray: early morning or evening when temperatures
are cooler and leaves can absorb nutrients efficiently.
Important: spray both the top and underside of leaves for
maximum absorption.

Two apples from the same tree: Meet Niki and Cash.
😼 Niki is the grumpy one. Stubborn as a tank - if she decides to go somewhere, everyone else should simply move. It is usually easier to step aside than try to stop her. She snores so loudly you can hear it across the house. But Niki has absolutely no insecurities about it.
😻 Cash, on the other paw, is a delicate gentleman and a hopeless romantic. He spends the whole day softly singing little songs to himself in a sweet voice, like a shy poet wandering through life.
Same breed. Same house.
Very different philosophies about life.
Why listening to a cat snoring is good for your health💤
😴 Scientists have studied many natural relaxation sounds - ocean waves, rain on the roof, forest wind. But one of the most overlooked therapeutic sounds may be much closer to home: a cat snoring next to you.
😴 When a cat snores, it produces slow, rhythmic vibrations that naturally encourage the human brain to relax. Similar to white noise, this gentle rumble can help calm racing thoughts and lower stress levels. The brain interprets the steady sound as a signal that everything around you is safe and peaceful - after all, if the cat is sleeping that deeply, the world can't be that dangerous.
😴 Studies on human-animal interaction show that simply being near a relaxed pet can reduce cortisol levels, lower blood pressure, and even improve mood.
😴 And unlike meditation apps or sleep machines, a snoring cat comes with additional health benefits: warmth, occasional purring, and the strong reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do for your health is exactly what the cat is doing - lie down, relax, and take a nap.
😴 Side effects include: Zero productivity and a sudden urge to cancel all your plans. 😴
