Pineapple Season started!
The most luscious Hospitality Fruit
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 SUNSHINEboosters Ananas - Pineapple and Bromeliad Booster. Perfect container
plant, Pineapple can be grown indoors as a houseplant. Many superior varieties
are available in selection.
Q: I'm looking for compact, low-maintenance
plants for my patio - something colorful, unusual, and not like the boring
crotons. I need several for my lanai, preferably flowering, showy, and easy to
care for since I often forget to water. Do such plants even exist?
A: Sounds like you need Adeniums - also known as Desert Roses. They're perfect for patios and
lanais, and they check every box: compact, low maintenance, drought-tolerant,
and bursting with color. You can grow them in sun or shade, and they don't
mind if you forget to water now and then. Plus, they're real conversation
pieces - people collect them like art! Adeniums look like living sculptures thanks
to their thick, swollen caudex.
At Top Tropicals, we grow over 200 hybrid varieties of Adeniums, and usually have 100+ in stock. You'll find doubles, reds,
purples, yellows, even striped, dotted, rainbow, and black flowers. With so
many options, you'll want more than just one!
Want that iconic fat base? Here's the trick:
Every time you repot, raise the plant slightly to expose more of the
upper roots. This encourages downward root growth and thickens the caudex over
time. Just use a well-draining mix, water only when dry, and feed with Sunshine
Megaflor Booster to support both blooming and trunk growth.
Adeniums aren't just low-effort - they're living art for your lanai!

🍍 Pineapple plants (Ananas comosus) are easy to grow, virtually carefree plants. You you plant a few - you will always have the benefit of fresh and delicious fruit on the table, full of health benefits.
🍍 White Jade Pineapple, also known as Eleuthera, is one of the most prized pineapple varieties you can grow at home - and for good reason. If you're only growing one pineapple, make it this one. And here is why:
✔️ Six reasons why you want to grow White Jade Pineapple
🟡Super sweet and low acid: White Jade has tender white flesh that's ultra-sweet with almost no acidity. The flavor is smooth and rich, far better than anything you'll find in a grocery store. 🟡Edible core: The core is soft, juicy, and 100% edible - no waste and no tough center. 🟡Spineless leaves: Unlike most pineapples, White Jade has soft, spineless leaves, making it much easier and safer to handle. 🟡Compact and container-friendly: It stays small, perfect for pots, patios, or tight garden spaces. 🟡Backyard hero, not for shipping: This variety bruises easily, so it's rarely seen in stores - but perfect for home gardeners who want top-tier taste. 🟡Tropical beauty + fast fruiting: With its blue-green foliage and striking fruit, it's ornamental as well as productive. Expect fruit in as little as 18-24 months with good care.
🍍 Although often mistaken as a Hawaiian variety, White Jade actually originated in Eleuthera, Bahamas. It thrives in warm climates and rewards gardeners with a sweet, low-acid treat unlike any commercial pineapple. It is grown in Hawaii now, especially by backyard gardeners and small farms, because it does so well there.
