SUNSHINE boosters for recovering plants after shipping

Q: I live in Garden City, NJ and have a sun room with a tropical plant collection that I keep at about 40-45 degrees in winter. I used Sunshine booster during winter for my plant collection and results were amazing! I haven't lost a single plant. Now I see you have more products and I am planning to purchase more plants, how should I use Sunshine boosters to help plants recover after shipping?

A: Spray SUNSHINE-E solution right after receiving a plant from shipping. It will boost up the plant and make it 50-60% stronger and easier to recover after shipping stress. After that, apply SUNSHINE-SuperFood microelement booster to provide everything necessary for the plant to grow vigorously and happily. SUNSHINE-E is indeed a wonderful plant stimulant and stress reliever, although it is not a "magic-cure-all" medicine where one can't find its active ingredient. The hormone (epibrassinolide) is well-known and used in different countries along with other hormones for promote growth, fruiting, blooming, rooting, etc. One of the most amazing properties of SUNSHINE is that it works in extremely low dozes. Only a few drops will be enough to make a solution in distilled water, to treat a large size plant. If you want to try it out, one 5 ml bottle will last for several applications. Large bottles of SUNSHINE 50 ml and 100 ml - great for small and big gardens. It is a good idea to start bi-weekly applications to improve your plants tolerance to Summer heat, drought and improve disease resistance. The formula works through plant metabolism within 2-4 days, repeat application not sooner than in one week. After application of SUNSHINE-E, don't forget to boost your plants with SUNSHINE-SuperFood .

SUNSHINE boosters for small and large gardens

Q: I tried your magic SUNSHINE booster on my Champaca tree and results were amazing. The tree was having a hard time establishing after shipping and didn't want to grow, losing leaves. I almost lost it. Then I sprayed SUNSHINE booster and right after the first application the plant perked up and new leaves grew within a week. Now I want to use this stuff on all my plants. I am a plant collector, with a few hundred pots and almost a hundred plants in the ground, living in California. I wonder if you have bigger size bottles of SUNSHINE so I can use on my flowering plants, and fruit trees, to promote blooming and fruiting. And another question, how often should I spray my plants? Your instructions say once in 20 days, should I spray more often for better results? Should I water through roots too? Do I still need to fertilize plants or SUNSHINE will be enough for their health?

A: Great news! We just added new SUNSHINE items to our store, 50 ml and 100 ml - bigger bottles, they will be great for small and big gardens, as well as small plant nurseries and plant businesses. It is a good idea to start bi-weekly applications to improve your plants tolerance during winter time to cold and low light, especially when it comes to house plants. SUNSHINE improves plant resistance to insects which is a big deal during winter, when we bring tropical species indoors.

The formula is created for absorption through foliage, not roots, so do not try to water with solution. Plants should be evenly sprayed in clear windless day. Do not spray if rain is expected. Re-spray if it rains within 12 hours.
Remember that SUNSHINE is not a fertilizer and won't replace it. You have to apply fertilizer (except during winter months) and micro-element solution to keep your plants healthy.

Why June Is the Most Important Month for Potted Tropical Plants

Cats Smokey and Sunshine planting tropical plants

Why June Is the Most Important Month for Potted Tropical Plants

For many tropical plants, June is the start of peak growing season. Days are longer, temperatures are warmer, and plants that spent winter indoors or in a greenhouse are suddenly growing at full speed.
A few simple tasks now can mean stronger growth, more flowers, and better fruit later in the season.

Smokey: Sunshine, why are you mixing fertilizer with coffee and donut crumbs?
Sunshine: I'm testing a new growth formula.
Smokey: Based on what research?
Sunshine: Based on a highly controlled breakfast study. I call it Hibiscus Turbo Boost Deluxe.

✅ 1. Repot Before Plants Become Root-Bound

· If roots are circling the pot, growing through drainage holes, or the soil dries out unusually fast, it's time to move up one pot size.
· Fresh potting mix provides new space, better drainage, and access to nutrients that older soil may no longer contain. Use professional soilless mix Abundance for best results.
· Don't jump from a small pot to an oversized container. One size larger is usually enough.

✅ 2. Feed Hungry Summer Growth

· Tropical plants are no longer resting. They are actively producing roots, leaves, flowers, and fruit.
· June is the perfect time to begin regular feeding.
· A balanced fertilizer program helps support strong growth, while products such as Green Magic and Sunshine Boosters provide additional nutrients that fast-growing tropicals can quickly use during summer.
· A well-fed plant grows faster, recovers from stress better, and flowers more heavily.

✅ 3. Acclimate Plants to Full Sun

One of the most common mistakes is moving a plant directly from indoors or a greenhouse into full summer sun. Leaves that developed in shade can burn within hours.
Start with bright shade or morning sun, then gradually increase exposure over one to two weeks. Even sun-loving plants benefit from a transition period.

✅ 4. Prune for Shape and Strength

June is an excellent time to remove weak, damaged, or overly long branches.
Light pruning encourages branching and creates a fuller, stronger plant.
For fruit trees, selective trimming can also help maintain a manageable size for container growing.

✅ 5. Check for Pests Before They Multiply

· Warm weather brings rapid plant growth - and rapid pest growth.
· Inspect new leaves, stems, and undersides of foliage for aphids, scale, spider mites, mealybugs, and whiteflies.
· Treat problems early before populations explode during the heat of summer. We recommend Sunshine NoBug all-natural pesticide.

✅ 6. Add Stakes, Trellises, and Supports

· Many tropical plants can double or triple their size during summer.
· Climbing plants, vanilla orchids, passion fruit, dragon fruit, mandevilla, and many vining species appreciate support before they become tangled.
· Installing stakes or trellises now is much easier than trying to do it later.

✅ 7. Water for Active Growth

· A tropical plant that needed water once a week in spring may need it every day during summer.
· Higher temperatures mean faster growth, greater water use, and more nutrient uptake.
· Check containers frequently, especially during hot or windy weather. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away.

✅ 8. Refresh Mulch and Clean Up Pots

· Remove weeds, old leaves, and debris from containers.
· A thin layer of mulch helps moderate soil temperatures and slows moisture loss during the hottest months.
· Clean pots also reduce hiding places for pests and disease.

✅ The Bottom Line

June is when potted tropical plants shift into high gear. Repot if needed, fertilize regularly, inspect for pests, provide support, and keep up with watering. A little attention now often produces the biggest growth, best blooms, and heaviest fruiting of the entire year.
