Spring tips
Once temperatures stay above 65F, growing season starts for tropical plants.
1. Increase watering as soon as you see new buds opening and new leaves growing
2. Trim all dead or damaged wood 1-2 inches above new growth
3. Apply the following treats to make your plants happy:
- granulated balanced fertilizer
- SUNSHINE Superfood microelements as foliar spray for healthy growth, profuse flowering, and disease/bug resistance
- SUNSHINE-E to help plants come out of dormancy faster and increase metabolism. 100 ml bottles and 50 ml bottles available for large plant collections.

Where can I try a rare Abiu fruit and what does it taste like?
- 🍋 Abiu tree (Pouteria caimito), or Harvest Moon Sapote - is a must-try rare tropical fruit with a striking appearance and incredible flavor.
- 🍋 About the size of a medium apple, Abiu ripens to a bright, sunny yellow that hints at the deliciousness inside. Beneath its somewhat thick, sturdy skin, which contains a bit of sticky latex when cut, lies a jelly-like, ultra-juicy flesh that's sweet, smooth, and completely acid-free.
- 🍋 Its flavor is often compared to the luscious taste of Chrysophyllum cainito (Star Apple that we mentioned earlier), making it a favorite among tropical fruit lovers.
- 🍋 Each fruit typically has one elongated seed nestled within, and Abiu is often grown from seed.
- 🍋 Abiu is very hard to find tropical fruit tree, and you won't find this fruit in supermarkets. So the only way to taste it - to grow your own!
- 🍋 With its vibrant color, unique texture, and tropical sweetness, Abiu is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of the exotic to their rare fruit collection!
🛒 Grow your own Abiu
