🐈 Sunshine: So Green Magic feeds the plant for months. Does that mean I can forget about Sunshine Boosters?
🐈 Smokey: Not quite. Green Magic is the steady base diet. Sunshine Boosters are the weekly power drink during active growth.
🐈 Sunshine: Ah. Like my regular meals and donuts on top.
🐈 Smokey: Exactly. Plants eat slowly from Green Magic, and once a week they get a fresh boost.
🐈 Sunshine: Sprinkle once, then boosters every week. The plant grows, I drink coffee, and nobody forgets anything important.
🐈 Smokey: Except where you left the donuts.
🐈 Sunshine: Smokey... nobody forgets donuts. Ever!

Mangos hidden power: the orange fruit that helps your immune system fight cancer

Orange mango fruit

🥭 Mango's hidden power: the orange fruit that helps your immune system fight cancer

🔸 A new study from the University of Chicago (Cell Reports Medicine) found that zeaxanthin - a carotenoid that gives mangoes their golden color - may do much more than support eye health. It can actually make your immune system stronger against cancer!
🔸 Researchers discovered that zeaxanthin boosts the performance of the body’s CD8+ T cells, the immune cells that hunt down and destroy tumor cells. In lab and animal tests, diets rich in zeaxanthin slowed tumor growth, and when paired with cancer immunotherapy, the results were even more impressive.
🔸 Zeaxanthin helps T cells form stronger receptor structures and increases their signaling and tumor-killing power. The compound occurs naturally in colorful foods like Mango, orange peppers, corn, cantaloupe, and dark leafy greens.
🔸 Because it’s already known to be safe and available as a dietary supplement, scientists see zeaxanthin as a promising addition to future cancer therapies. So, eating mangoes and other orange or yellow fruits may not only brighten your plate but also help your body’s natural defenses stay sharp: Pineapple, Carambola, Canistel, Garcinia, Loquat and more.

Cold protection for tropical plants

Pushing the limits of tropical gardening

The year is almost over but the winter is not. This Christmas weekend at our Sebring B-farm we had it down to 30F. As a tropical gardener, winter can be challenging, especially if you grow plants outside of tropical zones.

To protect your garden from the cold, consider the following:

1. Monitor freeze watches and be prepared to take action if necessary.
2. Create temporary structures like mini-greenhouses using PVC pipes, carport frames, or bamboo sticks to support covers.
3. Use covers such as frost cloth, cardboard boxes, blankets, and bed sheets.
4. Use Christmas lights and other heating elements, including propane heaters, to keep plants warm.
5. Add a layer of heavy mulch around plant trunks to protect them from the cold.
6. Apply plant boosters that improve cold hardiness, such as Sunshine Epi, Sunshine-Si, and Sunshine Superfood.

At TopTropicals B-Farm, we sprayed our plants with a special cold hardiness treatment Sunshine-Si and covered and wrapped everything we could. We also moved cold sensitive species inside greenhouses. All of our plants are looking great and happy!

Photo above: Temporary wrapping of a section of a greenhouse with a plastic or frost cloth protects from a windchill. It may also win you a few degrees even without a heater. In this particular case, according to our temp sensors, it was 30F outside, and 41F inside this "dome", no heaters used.
