Prepare your plants for Winter with Sunshine Boosters

Tropical  Plants  on  Winter  Windowsill

We usually stop using dry slow-release fertilizers from November to March. However, liquid Sunshine Boosters, which are natural plant food, can be used all year. They help your plants survive winter. When it gets colder, we water less, so the fertilizer decreases too. The plants only use what they need. To learn more about how Sunshine Boosters work and why they're safe and helpful, check out this blog: Using Sunshine Booster during Winter.

Sunshine  boosters  formulas

Apart from giving your plants nutrients during winter, you also can improve their ability to handle the cold. Try the Sunshine Boosters supplement kit for tropical plants. Follow the schedule and use three different supplements: SUNSHINE Superfood, SUNSHINE Epi, and SUNSHINE-Power-Si. Read more about treatment with Sunshine boosters supplement kit.

What makes Sunshine Boosters different

What makes Sunshine Boosters different

If your plants look stressed, slow, or inconsistent, the issue might not be your care - it might be how you're feeding them. Most fertilizers are harder to use than they should be. Once you understand why, everything starts to make sense.

Why fertilizers are so confusing?

If you've ever stood in front of a shelf full of fertilizers thinking "what do I even pick?" - you're not alone.
Most feeding programs are a mess. Different brands, different formulas, different schedules. One for growth, one for bloom, one for micros, one more "just in case".
And somehow it still feels like guesswork.
Easy to overfeed. Easy to underfeed. Easy to waste money.
That's exactly the problem Sunshine Boosters were built to solve.
The formulas are balanced and mild, so you can use them regularly without stressing about mistakes.
Now here's where it gets interesting.

The problem with traditional fertilizers

Most traditional fertilizers weren't made for how we actually grow plants today. Dry fertilizers are built for large field use. They often carry excess salts and don't work well in containers or soilless mixes. Many don't even include enough trace elements.
And over time, they can build up in the soil.
Sunshine Boosters works differently.

Why liquid feeding wins

First - it's liquid.
Plants don't eat nutrients, they drink them. Liquid feeding means nutrients are available right away. Every watering becomes feeding. No waiting, no uneven supply.

Amino-acid chelation - the real difference

Second - the way nutrients are delivered is completely different.
Most fertilizers use synthetic chelators like EDTA. They keep nutrients stable, but plants have to spend energy to use them.
Sunshine Boosters use amino-acid chelation instead.
That means nutrients come in a form plants already recognize and use naturally. Less effort for the plant, more energy for growth, flowers, and fruit.
And there's no salt buildup over time.

Low salt index - better water uptake

Speaking of salts - this is a big one.
High salt levels in fertilizers actually make it harder for plants to absorb water. That's why plants can look stressed even when the soil is wet.
Sunshine Boosters has a low salt index.
Less resistance, better water flow into the roots, better hydration, stronger plants.

Faster growth without the risk

Put it all together and you get faster growth, stronger structure, more flowers and fruit - without the usual risk of burning or overdoing it.
Because the nutrient levels are balanced and not overly concentrated, they do not affect the natural taste of fruits and edibles.
The products are also safe for regular use and friendly to pollinating insects, which is important for fruit production.

Feeding made simple

And the best part?
It's simple.
Mix Sunshine Boosters with water. Use it when you water. That's it.

Stay with us - next we'll break down how different formulas match different plant needs, so you can get even better results. More...

This changes how you feed your plants

This changes how you feed your plants

Stop messing with fertilizers - you’re probably feeding your plants wrong. Keep it simple. Let your plants do the work.
Most gardeners don’t have a plant problem - they have a fertilizer problem. If feeding your plants feels confusing, expensive, or inconsistent, there’s a reason. The way most fertilizers are designed doesn’t match how plants actually grow today. Here’s what’s really going on - and why a simpler system works better.


A simple way to feed your plants right

Feeding plants shouldn’t feel like a chemistry class. But somehow it always does. Too many products. Too many formulas. Too many schedules. And somehow - still not sure if you’re doing it right.
The truth is, growing healthy plants is simple. Good soil. Enough light. Proper care. And the right nutrients.
That last part is where most people get stuck.

Sunshine Boosters were made to fix exactly that. It’s a complete nutrition system that gives your plants what they actually need - without all the extra steps and guesswork.

What Sunshine Boosters are and how they work

So what is it, really?
Sunshine Boosters is a new generation of plant nutrients based on amino acids. It includes the main nutrients plants need - nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium - plus all the microelements, already balanced in one formula.

No extra bottles. No missing pieces.
It dissolves completely in water, so plants can take it in right away. No buildup in the soil, no leftovers sitting there doing nothing.
You just mix it with water and use it during regular watering. That’s it. It works through the roots, and even through the leaves if you spray it.
Instead of trying to manage a whole feeding system - you just feed and grow.
Less work, better plants.

Stay with us - this is just the start. We’ll break it down step by step so you really understand what your plants need and how to give it to them. More...

Cold protection for tropical plants

greenhouse  and  cold  protection  covers  on  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.

greenhouse  with  tropical  plants

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!
