Pineapple Season started!
The most luscious Hospitality Fruit

Pineapples

Pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) produces a delicious fruit treat and is a fascinating plant to grow.

King of fruits. Pineapple is often referred to as the "king of fruits" (along with Durian and Mango). It is cherished for its sweet and tangy taste, refreshing qualities, culinary uses, and health benefits, including high vitamin C content and digestive enzymes.

Bromelain for healthy guts: pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain that can break down proteins and is often used as a meat tenderizer. It's great for digestion; eat 1 slice of pineapple after every meal to maintain healthy digestive system.

Single fruit per plant: each pineapple plant produces just one pineapple per year.

Growth time: It takes about 18-24 months for a pineapple to mature and be ready for harvest.

Symbol of Hospitality: in many cultures, pineapples are a symbol of hospitality and welcome.

Those are berries! A pineapple is formed from many individual single fruit (technically, berries), which fuse together around the core.

Cultivation. Pineapples are easy to grow. They need very little water to thrive, and take full sun, shade, semi-shade. For faster production, fertilize with SUNSHINE boosters Ananas - Pineapple and Bromeliad Booster. Perfect container plant, Pineapple can be grown indoors as a houseplant. Many superior varieties are available in selection.

Manx - The Tailless Cats:
Timo and Matilda

Manx  Cats

Q: I saw your tailless cats. Why they don't have tails?

A: We decided to write a special story about these special cats. They are rescues who came to us on January 31 this year. The pictures in the article feature our adorable Manx siblings: Timo (long-haired) and his sister Matilda (short-haired). They are very different in personality and looks, but they have at least 2 things in common: lack of tail and beautiful orange eyes. Timo is a big boy who likes to play with everybody. Matilda is a shy miniature girl, but she likes to eat a lot... so she is a bit chubby! She looks almost as big as her big-bone and fluffy brother.
Manx cats are a charming breed known for their lack of tails. Originating from the Isle of Man, they have a rich history and delightful personalities.
