Meet PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the Day: Wesley (Vasiliy)
Vasiliy is Russian Blue. Everybody calls him Wesley. Wesley is Marco's twin brother. They both were found as little kittens in a box
that someone dropped off... right, under TopTropicals car.
Marco is long hair, and Wes is short hair, so Wes doesn't get a haircut
like his bro.
Although Wes is much bigger and fatter, he is not as brave as skinny Marco
who fearlessly spends his days at the front gate. Wes is afraid of Thunder,
Rain, and a Doorbell. So he is mostly hiding behind the scene... unless food
is on the table!

Meet PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the Day: Lil-S*
You know how it is, cats are like potato chips, they can't be just one.
And they come to you, they adopt you. They always pick the right people.
Every one of them has a story of their appearance.
Lil-S* came from a car engine. One cold winter morning of 2013 when we
were about to start a car... lil "meow" squeaked as a warning... Thank God
the engine wasn't started. She was hiding from cold under the hood right on the
engine, probably still catching some warmth from it... She was 4"size
kitten that fit in a palm of your hand... And she always has been a handful!
That's why we named her Little Sh*t.
Lil-S* likes to hang out with Marco in front of TopTropicals gate, greeting the customers.

How to get Jasmines to flower
Q: On the picture, these are a few of the jasmine plants that I
have from Top Tropicals. I have bought so many plants from you over the years,
not just jasmine. I have several varieties of jasmine. They were all doing
very well. However this year I didn't get a single flower. There are a lot of
buds... But before the buds open they become brown and withered. I bought
fertilizer from you. Fertilized the plants once a month like I always do. I
water the plants once a week. I repotted the plants hoping that would take care
of this problem. Some of the jasmine plants I pruned... the plants came back
vigorous growth with a lot of buds... BUT it is the same problem! Please
help.
A: One of the possible reasons why they have flower issues is -
maybe they don't have enough sunlight. They need to be in full sun all day
long for profuse blooming and proper flower forming. However since the buds are
forming, there may be just enough light. In this case, dropping buds may be a
sign of overwatering.
Important steps - how to make Jasmine Sambac flower:
The most popular kind of coffee for commercial production, Coffea arabica, is already on the endangered species list. According to
research, Coffea arabica plant could become extinct in as little as 60
years.
Coffee requires a forest habitat for its survival. With so much
deforestation going on around the world, wild coffee species are being impacted at
an alarming rate. Coffee plants grow in very specific natural habitats, so
rising temperatures and increased rainfall brought by climate change can make
coffee impossible to grow in places the plants once thrived.
To reserve a cup of coffee for yourself and your children, plant the Coffee tree now!
