Care for adeniums is simple once you understand what they like. Think of
them as half succulent, half tropical shrub. Keep their roots dry but never
bone-dry, give them sun, and feed them during the warm months. Do that, and they will reward you with fat trunks and nonstop flowers.
Soil and pot: Use a gritty, fast-draining Adenium Soilless Mix. Shallow wide pots work best — they let the caudex spread and show off its shape like a bonsai.
Watering: Water in the morning. Let the surface dry before watering again. Never let pots sit in saucers of
water.
Foliage: Keep leaves dry. Wet leaves invite rot and fungus.
Fertilizer: During active growth, feed with Sunshine Megaflor liquid fertilizer (flower booster); it promotes swollen trunk and sets flower
buds.
Light: Give them bright light year-round. Full sun in mild climates; filtered light if your summers are
scorching.
Winter rest: Cut water back when days shorten and let the plant rest. Dormancy is
normal.
Repotting trick: Each time you repot, lift the plant a bit so the crown roots peek above the soil. This encourages bigger
caudex.
Desert roses are made for containers, easy enough for a beginner but rewarding enough for a
collector.

⭐️ Ylang-Ylang (Cananga odorata, Chanel No 5 Tree) is the tree behind the worlds most famous fragrance - Chanel No. 5. Its golden, star-like flowers drip from the branches with a scent so powerful you can smell it from yards away.
⭐️ Native to Indonesia and Southeast Asia, this tropical evergreen can reach impressive heights, yet it blooms almost year-round, covering itself in clusters of perfumed flowers. This is one of the most beautiful, fast growing and beneficial flowering trees for Southern landscapes.
⭐️The fragrance shifts as the blooms age, from green to lemon yellow to deep golden, each stage producing an intoxicating scent prized in perfumery and aromatherapy. Even without flowers, its tiered branches and glossy leaves create a striking, almost Christmas-tree effect.
⭐️For smaller spaces, a dwarf form, Cananga fruticosa, brings the same beauty and scent in patio-friendly size. Whether towering or compact, Ylang-Ylang is more than a plant - it's living perfume in your garden.
Q:
I have been using your new plant hormone SUNSHINE
for plants after shipping, and I must admit it does make
a big difference! They recover right away. I order
plants online very often, and usually it takes up to a
week or more until they start showing new growth. After
SUNSHINE treatments, they look fresh within a day or
two. My question would be, for improving cold tolerance,
what do you recommend? I live in Florida and it is still
warm here, should I start spraying my garden now or
should I wait until cold spells?
A:SUNSHINE
is very effective plant stimulant that helps tropical
plants survive different kinds of stress, including
cold, heat, drought, low light, etc. At TopTropicals
gardens and nursery, we have been using this hormone for
many years to protect our plants from unfavorable
conditions, and it saved us many rare tender species,
and lots of money!
The sooner in Fall you start treatments, the better.
Don't wait until cold spell. SUNSHINE works slowly and
in very low doses. The mechanism is actually about
boosting, building up the plant's own immune system. Low
doses once a week, even every other week will work just
fine, so you will need very little of the product. For
less than $5 you can help expensive rare plants to go
through winter painlessly. Recommended application is
only 2.5 ml/1 gal of water, to spray every 1-2 weeks
throughout winter period.
Start spraying your plants with SUNSHINE now, to help
them survive short winter days, build up insect
resistance (especially for plants indoors), and what is
most important, to remain strong through lower
temperatures. These are our suggestions:
- SUNSHINE-T
- thermo-protection booster. It is specially
formulated for winter protection of tropical plants. To
improve cold hardiness even more, spray 1-2 days prior
to cold with 5 ml/1 gal solution and after that,
continue applications with 2.5 ml/1 gal solution every
10-15 days throughout winter period.
- For large plant collections, and in-ground gardens in
subtropical areas, take advantage of very cost effective
bulk items 50
ml and 100
ml bottles of SUNSHINE.
- Don't forget that SUNSHINE is only a stimulant, and
not a plant food. While regular fertilizer should be
avoided during winter months, it is always beneficial to
apply microelements through foliar spray. During cooler
period, chances of chlorosis increase, because at low
temperatures iron is difficult so absorb by roots
especially in moist soil, hence iron deficiency! Our new
Iron supplement SUNSHINE-Super-Iron
microelement booster will help to avoid yellowing leaves
and to maintain your plants strong and healthy during
slow growth period. Ultra-potent, highly absorbable iron
mix, with chelated Iron with DTPA (instead of usual
EDTA) that is better soluble in hard water and more
effective for chlorosis. This mix contains both EDTA +
DTPA chelated iron in higher concentration than regular
micro-elements mixes.
