  • 🐈 Sunshine: So Green Magic feeds the plant for months. Does that mean I can forget about Sunshine Boosters?
  • 🐈 Smokey: Not quite. Green Magic is the steady base diet. Sunshine Boosters are the weekly power drink during active growth.
  • 🐈 Sunshine: Ah. Like my regular meals and donuts on top.
  • 🐈 Smokey: Exactly. Plants eat slowly from Green Magic, and once a week they get a fresh boost.
  • 🐈 Sunshine: Sprinkle once, then boosters every week. The plant grows, I drink coffee, and nobody forgets anything important.

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...

Sunshine supplement kit for cold hardiness

Video by Scott Riddle

Discover the cool story of Scott Riddle, a well-known plant enthusiast with a popular YouTube channel dedicated to his tropical plant collection. In this video, Scott shares his firsthand experience with our Sunshine micro-element kit, designed to enhance the cold hardiness of plants.
Living in the unpredictable climate of the California mountains, where he cultivates tropical plants in a zone higher than recommended, Scott faced the challenge of unexpected freezes. The boosters hopefully will be a game-changer for him, reinforcing his plants for the winter season. This insightful and detailed video is a valuable resource for anyone engaged in zone-pushing, aiming to fortify their tropical plants against the rigors of challenging weather conditions.

Here at Top Tropicals, we have already applied two pre-winter treatments of Sunshine Power-Si formula, in combination with the bio-stimulant Sunshine Epi and micro-elements. One in November, the second one in the beginning of December. So far, after a couple of cold nights, the plants still look happy. Stay warm and get prepared!"

Fertilizing a Mango tree in container

Mango  trees  in  pots  and  fertilizer

Q: I live in the area with cooler winters so I am keeping my mango tree in a pot. What fertilizer do you recommend for the best growth and fruit production?

A: If you're growing fruit trees in pots, using liquid fertilizers is a great choice. And when it comes to liquid fertilizers, ones that are based on amino acids are super cool because they're natural and plants can gobble up all the good stuff without any problems. So, if you have a mango tree, the absolute star in amino acid-based fertilizers is -

Why Sunshine Boosters liquid fertilizers are so popular?

Here are a few awesome reasons:

1. Speedy nutrients: Sunshine Boosters liquid fertilizers are like a fast pass for plants. They get absorbed by the roots super quick, giving your fruit tree a speedy delivery of all the nutrients it needs. This is especially great for potted plants with limited soil space, like those yummy fruit trees.

2. Nutrients for all: Sunshine Boosters are like the fairy godmothers of nutrients. When you pour them around the base of your tree, they spread out evenly, making sure every bit of the tree gets its fair share of the good stuff. No nutrient deficiencies allowed!

3. The power of precision: Sunshine Boosters liquid fertilizers and other cool plant supplements let you become a master mixologist for your plant. You can measure and mix them just right, giving your tree the exact nutrients it craves. It's like creating a customized cocktail for your tree's taste buds. Try adding the magic works of SUNSHINE Microelement Supplement Kit - that improves hardiness, vigor, and production.

4. Leafy goodness: Sunshine Boosters have a secret talent - they can be sprayed directly on the leaves! It's like giving your tree a refreshing nutrient-packed spa treatment. The leaves slurp up those nutrients, bypassing any soil limitations. Talk about a VIP treatment!

Remember, while liquid fertilizers are awesome, they work best when you team them up with other good plant care practices. So don't forget to water properly, keep that soil in tip-top shape, and give your tree plenty of sunshine. With this dream team, your potted mango tree will thrive and grow like a champ!
