❄️ How to overwinter tropical plants indoors

❓ I have two Mandevillas that thrived on my balcony all summer. Now that cold weather is approaching, I've moved them indoors to bright spots, but they're dropping and wilting leaves. How can I keep them healthy until spring? Should I fertilize them? Can Mandevillas grow indoors year-round?

✔️ First, keep in mind that the plants we call "indoor plants" or "house plants" are all tropical. However, not all tropical plants are suitable for indoor living. Some, especially shade-loving ones, thrive in indoor conditions, which is why we refer to them as "house plants" (philodendrons, monsteras, calatheas, peperomias, and many others, including some succulents). Others are less adaptable to the lower light and humidity typical of indoor spaces, but with a little extra care, you can overwinter them inside and move them back outdoors in spring. Mandevillas are no exception! Even tropical trees, including fruit trees, can tolerate a few months indoors if given the right conditions for semi-dormancy. Below are the 10 key tips for successfully overwintering tropical plants indoors.

🌷 How to make your Hibiscus plants thrive and bloom

"If your plant isn't flowering, feed it." - Winn Soldani (Fancy Hibiscus)

💬 Among gardeners, Hibiscus plants have a reputation to have couple maintenance issues:

1. they can get bugsy (because they must be so tasty!)
2. they can get leggy, especially fancy grafted cultivars, and after a while they don't look as perfect as when they came from a nursery.

‼️ Tips for healthy and pretty hibiscus plants (can be applied to other flowering shrubs)

• 🟡Full sun. Essential for profuse flowering and keeps away diseases.
• 🟡Pruning. Keep it pruned and it will get bushy and produce more blooms.
• 🟡Well-drained soil. Hibiscus likes regular watering but hates wet feet.
• 🟡Nutrition program. Hibiscus plants are heavy feeders. But keep in mind that if you just keep pushing granulated plant food, you can over-fertilize the plant. Excessive salts will accumulate in soil and you will end up with a sickly looking plant.

⚠️ Keys to balanced plant food and bloom booster

• 💋Use liquid fertilizer, preferably amino acid based, it won't create nutrients lock up
• 💋Fertilize on regular basis, it's better dilute concentration and add food with every watering
• 💋Always add micro-elements - they are essential for plant health

🌞 If you do this right, the result will be:

• ⏺healthy, green plants, like they just came from a nursery
• ⏺reliable blooming circle
• ⏺better cold tolerance and disease resistance. Remember that a strong plant will be less ⏺stressed and less "bugged" by bugs!

😎 We suggest Sunshine Boosters Megaflor - scientifically balanced liquid fertilizer that is amino acid based = natural and organic, can be used for both flowers and edibles, and what's most important - year around. It is safe to use virtually with every watering, all year around!

🍴 Why my plant turned yellow? And why plants need Micronutrients? The answer is: they need Superfood!

• 
  Nothing is more disappointing than when your plant’s bright green leaves begin to turn yellow. Too often gardeners blame pests for these issues, but at the root of the problem is almost always a nutrient deficiency.
• 
  Plants need both macronutrients and micronutrients.

Macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) help plants grow big and strong.
Micronutrients (like iron, zinc, copper, and manganese) are just like vitamins, needed in small amounts but are just as important for plant health.

Why are micronutrients important?

• 
  📌 They help plants with vital processes like making food (photosynthesis) and building strong roots.
• 📌 Without enough micronutrients, plants can look weak, turn yellow, or grow poorly.

Why use Sunshine Superfood for micronutrients?

• 
  📌 Effective and fast: plants get the right amount of micronutrients quickly and efficiently.
• 📌 Balanced formula: your plants get everything they need in the right proportions.
• 📌 Sunshine Superfood is the ultimate micro-element supplement that can fix all deficiencies.
• 📌 Easy to apply - just mix with water and feed your plants.
• 📌 The quick absorption helps prevent nutrient deficiencies.

👍 Even if your soil is lacking in certain micronutrients, Sunshine Superfood ensures your plants get exactly what they need.
