Healthy Plants: Q&A from Mr Booster

How to prevent mango flowers drop

Q:The mango blossoms my tree had in February have blown off due to weather conditions. Do you know what I can do to prevent this from happening again in the future?

A: The only "guarantee" to protect mango flowers from cold weather damage here in Florida is to plant a LATE flowering variety. Generally, mango trees are winter bloomers. Those varieties called "early season" start flowering in January (for example, Nam Doc Mai), and of course very often they get affected by cold, so they drop. Some varieties are so called "late season" - for example Venus. They start flowering in spring when the weather conditions are more favorable.
Another thing that may help you with mango flower drop is applying plant micro-element supplement Sunshine-Honey - it contains Molybdenum and Boron, which help flower and fruit development/strength and prevent their drop.

Macadamia Tree Care

By Tatiana Anderson, Horticulture Expert at Top Tropicals with Smokey & Sunshine help

🌳 Growing Macadamia Tree

Macadamia is not a fragile tree, but it does have preferences. If you respect them from the beginning, the tree rewards you for decades.

• Start with the site. Drainage is everything. Macadamia will tolerate cool weather better if planted in a well-drained area. Avoid low spots where water sits after rain. If your soil is dense or clay-like, build a mound or improve drainage before planting.
• Choose full sun whenever possible for the best nut production.
• Planting location matters. A south or southeast exposure near a wall can create a warmer microclimate that buffers cold nights. Freeze plus wind is more damaging than temperature alone. Macadamia handles cold better when protected from winter wind.
• Dig a hole about twice as wide as the container, but no deeper than the root ball. Set the tree level with the surrounding soil. Do not bury the trunk.
• Water regularly during the first three months while the tree establishes roots.
• Fertilize lightly. Macadamia does not respond well to over-fertilizing. Macadamias prefer mild liquid fertilizers, SUNSHINE Boosters Robusta is ideal for it. You may also use controlled release Green Magic every 6 months, it is especially formulated for hot climate. To keep leaves healthy deep green without yellowing, micro elements must be applied on regular basis, we recommend to always have handy Sunshine Superfood micro nutrients complex.
• Young trees should be protected if temperatures drop below freezing. Once established, they become far more resilient.
• Harvest timing: Nuts mature 6-7 months after flowering. Husk splits naturally when ready. Fallen nuts should be collected quickly.
• Flower and Nut Drop: Many gardeners panic when they see flowers or small nuts drop, but Macadamia naturally sheds excess fruit. It does not mean failure; the tree simply keeps what it can afford to feed.
• Macadamia is relatively low-maintenance, but watch for squirrels and rats. They love the rich nuts as much as humans do, so be sure to collect fallen nuts quickly.
• Root Sensitivity: Macadamia roots dislike disturbance. Transplant carefully. Avoid root damage.
• Macadamia is not a fast-return crop. It begins producing a few years and increases gradually. But once mature, it becomes a steady, reliable part of your garden.

🌱 Growing Macadamia in a Pot

• Container size: Start large. A 15-25 gallon pot is ideal for long-term growth.
• Drainage: Critical. Use a container with multiple drainage holes.
• Soil mix: Use a high-quality, well-draining container mix. Avoid heavy garden soil. Top Tropicals Abundance soil-less mix is specially formulated for pot growing
• Light: Full sun is best. Strong light improves flowering and nut production.
• Watering: Water deeply, then allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering again. Avoid constant saturation.
• Feed lightly and consistenly. SUNSHINE Boosters Robusta liquid fertilizer is safe to use with with every watering. During hot season you may add controlled release Green Magic every 6 months. It is essential to apply micro elements on Macadamias: Sunshine Superfood micro nutrients complex.
• Cold protection: If temperatures drop below freezing, move the container to a protected area such as a garage or greenhouse.
• Pruning: Prune lightly to control size and maintain airflow within the canopy.
• Expectations: Container trees may produce fewer nuts than in-ground trees, but they offer mobility and climate control.
• Smokey says: Container trees offer mobility and climate control so you never have to worry about a freeze!

🚫 Common Mistakes When Growing Macadamia

• Planting in poorly drained soil:
  The most common mistake. Macadamia will decline quickly in heavy, waterlogged ground. If drainage is questionable, plant on a mound.
• Overwatering young trees:
  Newly planted trees need consistent moisture, not constant saturation. Wet roots lead to root problems.
• Over-fertilizing:
  Too much fertilizer causes weak growth and nutrient imbalance. Feed lightly and avoid heavy nitrogen applications.
• Planting too deep:
  The top of the root ball should sit level with or slightly above the surrounding soil. Do not bury the trunk.
• Ignoring micronutrients:
  Macadamia is very prone to iron, zinc, and copper deficiencies. Yellowing leaves may signal a micronutrient issue. Applly Sunshine Superfood on regular basis.
• Expecting instant production:
  Macadamia takes time. Early years build structure. Patience is part of success.
• Skipping cold protection for young trees:
  Established trees are tougher, but young plants should be protected below freezing.

❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Is Macadamia toxic to pets? While the nuts are a superfood for humans, they are toxic to dogs. If you have a dog that tends to forage in the garden, ensure you harvest fallen nuts promptly or fence the base of the tree during the drop season.
• Which varieties are best for the "Survivor" garden? Look for Macadamia integrifolia (smooth-shell) or hybrids like 'Beaumont' (M. tetraphylla x M. integrifolia). Hybrids often show slightly better cold tolerance and more consistent "home garden" production.
• How tall will my tree get? In the ground, an unpruned Macadamia can reach 20–30 feet. However, they respond very well to "heading back" (pruning the top) to keep them at a manageable 12–15 feet for easy harvesting.
• Do I need two trees for cross-pollination? Macadamias are self-fertile, meaning one tree will produce nuts. However, planting two varieties near each other often results in a significantly heavier "nut set" due to cross-pollination.
• Why are the leaves on my Macadamia prickly? Don't panic—this is normal! Some species, particularly M. tetraphylla, have serrated, holly-like leaves. This actually makes them a great "defensive" hedge against intruders or deer.
• When exactly should I harvest? The tree tells you when it's ready. Don't shake the tree; wait for the nuts to fall naturally. In Florida, this usually happens between August and November. If the green outer husk hasn't split yet, let them sit in a shaded, dry spot until they do.
• My tree has "clusters" of flowers but no nuts. What happened? Macadamias produce long racemes (flower spikes) with hundreds of tiny blooms. It is normal for 90% of these to fall off. The tree only keeps what it can afford to "feed." Boost your success by using a combination of Sunshine C-Cibus liquid fertilizer and SUNSHINE Superfood micro element supplement during the flowering stage to help the tree retain more fruit.
• Can I grow them from a nut I bought at the store? Unlikely. Commercial nuts are usually roasted or dried at high heat, killing the embryo. Even if a raw nut sprouts, it may take 10–12 years to fruit and the quality is a gamble. Buying a grafted tree saves you a decade of waiting.

We don’t just sell plants; we test them. The data from this February freeze proves that with the right selection and proper drainage, 'tropical' doesn’t have to mean 'fragile.' Don’t wait for the next cold front to find out what in your garden is vulnerable. It is time to replace those empty spots with proven survivors that offer both beauty and a premium harvest. If it can stand up to 25F in our fields, it’s ready for your backyard.

Coming in Part 2...

Smokey is already crunching the numbers on our next survivor, and Sunshine found another tree that stayed perfectly green in the wind. Stay tuned to see which fruit tree made the cut!

🌿 The Vanilla Plant That Outgrew Its 100-Gallon Container.

Smokey: Is that really the entire mother plant?
Sunshine: Most of it.
Smokey: What do you mean "most of it"? And why are there donuts hanging from the plant?
Sunshine: We still haven't found the other end. The donuts attract pollinators.
Smokey: Donuts do not attract pollinators.
Sunshine: Then explain why I keep visiting the plant.
Smokey: You work here.
Sunshine: That's what the plant wants you to think. It's called "Intelligent Design" for a reason.

The plant Sunshine is perched on is not a hedge. It is not a wall. It is a single specimen of Vanilla dilloniana, Dillon's Vanilla, and it has a name: Intelligent Design. Unlike the familiar Vanilla planifolia — the commercial vanilla of ice cream and extract — dilloniana produces no leaves. The plant is essentially a green vine, photosynthesizing entirely through its stems. It is an unusual and striking grower, and in good conditions it can develop into an impressive, multi-branched specimen. It is classified as rare, and is considered vulnerable or endangered across portions of its native range.

Intelligent Design was grown and lovingly tended for years by Robert Riefer, a grower who is both a good friend of Top Tropicals and one of the most dedicated orchid collectors we know. The mother plant of this specimen traces its origins back to 1927 - nearly a century of continuous cultivation.

In 2011, the American Orchid Society recognized this remarkable plant with a Certificate of Horticultural Merit (CHM), one of the society's formal awards for plants of exceptional quality.

By 2017, the plant had already become well known in the orchid and tropical plant community, appearing in a video that documented Robert moving it into a 100-gallon container. That video became something of a legend among collectors.

🎥 Video: the biggest Vanilla Orchid in the world moving to 100 gal pot

Then the plant kept growing.

It outgrew the 100-gallon container. Robert eventually moved it into a 250-gallon pool on wheels - because when a plant refuses to stop, you give it room.

The plant is currently on display at Edison Ford Winter Estates museum and botanical garden in Ft Myers, Florida, during the month of June, where recent photographs show it larger and more floriferous than ever. It is, as best anyone can determine, the largest known cultivated specimen of Vanilla dilloniana in the world. If you are local or visiting Florida, don't miss the chance to see this world-famous orchid in person. It is expected to continue blooming through June.

And here's the remarkable part: the Vanilla dilloniana plants available from Top Tropicals are propagated directly from this exact plant - Intelligent Design itself.

👉 A Piece of Living History - Direct from the Source

Vanilla dilloniana is a rare species, considered vulnerable to endangered across parts of its native Caribbean range. Plants with documented provenance - especially provenance tied to a named, award-winning, century-old specimen - are genuinely uncommon in cultivation.

What you would be growing is a direct descendant of the famous Intelligent Design mother plant, carrying the same historic lineage recognized by the American Orchid Society.

For collectors, opportunities to acquire plants with this kind of documented history are exceptionally rare.

Growing Leafless Vanilla

• Light: Bright filtered light is ideal. Morning sun is generally well tolerated. Avoid intense afternoon sun, especially during summer.
  Ideal: Dappled shade, eastern exposure, greenhouse conditions, or 30-50% shade cloth.
• Temperature: Warm-growing tropical species.
  Best: 70-95F
  Protect below: 40F
  Not frost tolerant.
• Cold Protection: In USDA Zones below 10, grow in a container and move indoors or to a protected greenhouse before temperatures drop below 40F.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity with good air circulation. Avoid cold, stagnant, damp conditions.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the potting mix to partially dry before watering again. Do not keep constantly wet. In cool weather and winter, keep the soil on the drier side. Overwatering when temperatures are low is the most common mistake.
• Potting Mix: Plant in a very fast-draining medium.
  Recommended: Top Tropicals Abundance Mix.
  The open structure allows excellent root aeration while retaining enough moisture for healthy growth.
• Support & Growth Habit: Unlike most vanilla orchids that are trained vertically on posts or trellises, Vanilla dilloniana can be grown using the "Intelligent Design" method. Start with a sturdy support while the plant is young, then allow the stems to wrap around themselves in wide circles. As new growth emerges, continue guiding the vines around the container. Over time, the plant forms an impressive sculptural mound of intertwined stems.
• Container Growing: Excellent for wide containers. The larger the mass of stems becomes, the more impressive the display and the greater the flowering potential. Unlike traditional vanilla culture, extensive vertical space is not required.
• Repotting: Move to progressively larger containers as needed. Rather than growing upward indefinitely, the plant can continue expanding into a larger circular mass, making it well suited for long-term container culture.
• Fertilizing: Feed lightly but consistently during active growth.
  Recommended: Sunshine Booster™ Orchidasm.
  Apply according to label directions every 2-4 weeks during warm growing weather. Reduce feeding during cool periods or when growth slows. Read our Guide to Sunshine Boosters™
• Growth Rate: Moderate to fast under warm conditions. Established plants can branch freely and become surprisingly large over time.
• The Flowers: Pale green to yellow-green flowers with a deeply fluted reddish-purple lip and yellow crest. Mature plants in bloom are highly prized by orchid collectors.
• Collector Appeal: Unusual leafless growth habit. Historic provenance. Highly desirable among orchid collectors.

Why Is It Called "Intelligent Design"?

The famous mother plant was named Intelligent Design by its grower, Robert Riefer. After decades of growth, countless blooms, container upgrades, and an apparent determination to occupy every available square foot of greenhouse space, the name seemed increasingly appropriate.

Unlike commercial vanilla, Vanilla dilloniana is grown primarily as a collector's orchid. Its leafless, sculptural stems create a living tangle of green architecture unlike almost any other cultivated vanilla species.

Sunshine: It convinced humans to build larger containers, move it into a 250-gallon pool on wheels, transport it to museum exhibitions, and place its agents in collections across the country.
Smokey: That's called excellent horticulture.

🍑 From the Garden: Why I Always Recommend Growing Your Own Peaches

by Tatiana Anderson, Top Tropicals Garden Expert

I'll be honest with you. The first time I bit into a peach straight off the tree, still warm from the afternoon sun, I understood why people get obsessed with this fruit. There is no comparison to what you find in a grocery store. Store peaches are picked hard, shipped cold, and by the time they reach you, something important is already gone. A tree-ripened peach is soft, fragrant, juicy, and sweet in a way store peaches rarely are. Eat it fresh, slice it into a cobbler, throw it on the grill - it holds up beautifully either way.

Peach Plant Facts

Botanical name: Prunus persica, Amygdalus persica
Also known as: Peach

So let's talk about how to actually get there.

Planting

Peaches are not difficult. Give them sun, drainage, and room for air movement, and they will usually tell you very quickly that they are happy.

• Full sun is essential - 8 hours minimum, and more is better.
• Drainage matters - peach roots do not like sitting wet.
• If your soil stays wet, plant on a mound - simple fix, big difference.
• Water deeply, then pause - let the soil partially dry before watering again.
• Prune every year - it keeps the tree open, improves airflow, and helps the tree put energy into fruit instead of tangled growth.

What If You Do Not Have Room?

You can still grow peaches in a large container. This is a great option for patios, small yards, renters, or gardeners who want better control over soil and drainage.

• Use a large pot with drainage holes.
• Choose a fast-draining potting mix, not heavy garden soil. We recommend Sunshine Abundance potting mix.
• Place the container in the sunniest spot you have.
• Water more often than in-ground trees, but never let the pot stay soggy.
• Prune to keep the tree compact and easy to manage.

Fertilizing

Peach trees are generous plants, but producing vigorous growth and a heavy crop of sweet fruit takes energy. Regular feeding makes a noticeable difference in tree health, flowering, and fruit quality.

I prefer a simple two-part approach that provides both steady background nutrition and quick, readily available nutrients when the tree is actively growing.

• Green Magic controlled-release fertilizer provides a steady supply of nutrients for months and serves as the foundation of the feeding program.
• Sunshine Boosters liquid fertilizers deliver amino acid-based nutrients that are quickly absorbed and especially useful during periods of active growth, flowering, and fruit development. Sunshine C-Cibus formula is the best for fruit trees.

During the growing season, this combination helps build stronger branches, healthier leaves, better flowering, and sweeter, higher-quality fruit.

If your tree shows yellowing leaves or weak growth, consistent feeding often makes a dramatic difference within a few weeks.

Sunshine’s Philosophy: Lazy Peach Sundae 😺

Sunshine absolutely loves peach cobbler, especially when someone else does all the peeling, slicing, mixing, and baking. But when he is left to prepare dessert on his own, his standards become much more practical. Why turn on the oven when perfectly ripe peaches already taste amazing? His philosophy is simple: if a recipe takes less than five minutes and ends with peaches and vanilla ice cream in the same bowl, it is a masterpiece.

Sunshine's Lazy Peach Sundae

This is not cooking. This is assembly.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe homegrown peaches
• 2 big scoops of vanilla ice cream
• A drizzle of honey (optional)
• A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. Slice the peaches.
2. Put them in a bowl.
3. Add vanilla ice cream.
4. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon if you feel ambitious.
5. Eat immediately while smiling.

♊ Gemini Season Starts. We Are Five Days Late. Very Gemini.

Sunshine: I once met a girl and asked what she does. She said she assembles gyroscopes. I told her I don't believe in gyroscopes.
Smokey: You meant horoscopes.
Sunshine: That is what I said.
Smokey: You said gyroscopes.
Sunshine: Same thing.
Smokey: One predicts your future. The other stabilizes aircraft.
Sunshine: I don't believe in aircraft either.
Smokey: She left, didn't she.
Sunshine: She said she had to go assemble something.

♊ Gemini season started on May 21. Today is May 26 But honestly? That is not a problem. That is actually very Gemini. Gemini probably got distracted, opened three browser tabs, started a new hobby, forgot what it was doing, and came back five days later with a notebook full of ideas and zero apologies. So here we are.

Why these plants and not others

No, there is no scientific proof that olive trees belong to Gemini. We checked. The olives refused to comment. But if you are going to assign plants to zodiac signs — and we are — then Gemini deserves plants with intelligence, motion, surprise, fragrance, and a little chaos. Gemini is the sign of curiosity, conversation, and dual natures. It gets bored easily and talks to everyone at the party. These plants were picked because they fit that energy. And also because they are genuinely good plants worth growing, which Smokey insisted we mention.

Olive (Olea europaea)

Olive is the thinking plant of this group. Ancient, silver-leaved, and quietly dramatic, it belongs to Gemini because Gemini loves history, long conversations, and plants that look like they know something you don't.

If you are growing olive in a container — which works very well — give it full sun, fast-draining soil, and a firm commitment to not overwatering it. Olive does not want wet feet. It wants to think in dry conditions, like a philosopher in a warm courtyard.

Dwarf Mulberry (Morus sp.)

Mulberry is Gemini in motion. It grows fast, produces generously, and absolutely refuses to be boring. A standard mulberry will take over your yard before you finish reading this sentence. A dwarf mulberry, however, is patio-friendly, container-happy, and still delivers fruit, birds, and mild garden chaos on schedule.

Prune after fruiting to keep the shape. Full sun. Large pot if you're growing in a container. This is the plant for people who want results and do not enjoy waiting.

Parijat (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis)

Parijat belongs to Gemini's quieter, more poetic side. It blooms with small fragrant white flowers — orange centers, delicate petals — often at night. By morning, the flowers have fallen. They drop like little messages from the universe, which Sunshine finds meaningful and Smokey finds botanically interesting.

This one is for the gardener who wants something to actually stop and look at. Good in containers, good on a warm patio, needs decent light and warmth to do its best work.

Dwarf Golden Tabebuia (Tabebuia chrysotricha)

This is the Gemini show-off. Quiet for most of the year, then suddenly covered in golden yellow flowers like it just remembered it has an announcement to make.

Dwarf Golden Tabebuia is compact enough for a large container or a sunny entrance, but it needs strong light to bloom well. Give it sun. Give it room. Then step back and let it perform.

🛒 Shop Dwarf Tabebuia

Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum)

Miracle Fruit belongs on this list because it is, without argument, the most Gemini plant in existence. It does not taste like much on its own. But eat one berry and everything sour suddenly tastes sweet. Lemons taste like lemonade. Lime juice tastes like candy. A plain piece of sourdough becomes something you would pay extra for. The fruit literally changes how you experience everything that comes after it.

If that is not Gemini energy — dual nature, transformation, making you see the same thing two completely different ways — nothing is.

Miracle Fruit is a slow grower that likes warmth, humidity, acidic soil, and protection from cold. It does well in containers, which is good news because it genuinely hates frost. Keep it in a pot, bring it in when temperatures drop, and give it filtered light or morning sun rather than harsh afternoon exposure.

Spanish Tamarind (Wild Medlar, Vangueria infausta)

Spanish Tamarind belongs to Gemini because it is unusual enough to start a conversation before anyone even knows what it is. The name alone does it. People will ask. You will explain. The fruit changes color as it ripens, the plant has collector appeal, and the whole thing feels like something you found in a book about plants that don't get enough attention.

This one needs warmth, sun, good drainage, and patience. It can live in a container with pruning. It rewards the gardener who is genuinely interested in something a little different.

Horoscope aside — why these plants are actually worth growing

Even if Gemini energy has nothing to do with your garden, these plants offer real value: fruit, fragrance, flowers, container growing, and something interesting to look at or talk about.

• Olive — full sun, excellent drainage, don't overwater, thrives in containers. Tropical varieties: USDA Zone: 8-10. Cold hardy to 15-20°F.
• Dwarf Mulberry — full sun, large pot, prune after fruiting, fast results. USDA Zone: 8-11. Cold hardy to 20-25°F. Most mulberry varieties can be grown in USDA Zone 5-6 to 10 and cold hardy to 5°F.
• Parijat — warmth, good light, patio or container, fragrant and ornamental. USDA Zone 9-11. Tolerates light freezing to about 30°F for short periods (mature plants). Young plants must be protected.
• Dwarf Golden Tabebuia — strong sun, large container or sunny ground spot, compact but dramatic when it blooms. USDA Zone 9-11. Protect young plants from frost. Best flowering in full sun.
• Spanish Tamarind — warmth, sun, drainage, patience, collector interest. USDA Zone 9-11. USDA Zone 10-11, possibly warm Zone 9b in protected microclimates. Protect from frost, especially young plants.
• Miracle Fruit — warmth, humidity, acidic soil, filtered light, protect from frost. Best in containers. USDA Zone 10-11. Cold hardy only to about 40°F — bring it in well before first frost, not after.

Can you grow them in pots?

Yes. With the standard warning: a pot is not magic. Use a large container, fast-draining soil, full sun where the plant wants it, regular feeding with Green Magic conrolled-release fertilizer every 6 months and Sunshine Boosters - safe to use with every watering. Apply a bit of pruning when things get out of hand.

📅June gardening reality check

June is a good time to establish tropical and subtropical plants. The soil is warm, the days are long, and actively growing plants will take root faster than they would in cooler months.

👉 A few things to keep in mind:

• Containers dry out fast even when rain increases. Check them. Don't assume rain did the job.
• Don't let pots sit in standing water. Root rot is quiet until it isn't.
• Feed actively growing plants. They are working hard and they need the input. We recommend Green Magic controlled release fertilizer during active growth (twice a year) and Sunshine Boosters for spray and daily watering year around.

  📚 More about fertilizers from our garden Blog

• Watch new growth for pests. Tender leaves are the first target.
• Prune lightly to shape if needed, but don't do heavy cutting in peak heat. Save that for after flowering or early in the season.
• Mulch around in-ground plants to hold moisture, but keep mulch away from the trunk.

🌠 The stars don't care? Grow anyway!

Maybe the stars do not care whether your garden is a Gemini garden. Maybe olive trees are not receiving transmissions from Mercury. But a garden full of fruit, fragrance, flowers, and strange little stories is still a very good idea.
