🍲 What Fertilizer to Use Now and How?
Part 3. Micro elements

✔️ Microelement Supplements Are a Must


Besides macronutrients (daily plant food), plants need additional microelements, just like humans need vitamins. Be sure to apply these supplements along with your regular plant food:

✔️ For Green Leaves and Health


Sunshine SuperFood - Complex Microelement Supplement: a must for healthy plants and beautiful, green leaves. Apply once a month.

✔️ For Stress Relief


Did you know that plants get stressed out too? Too much sun, to wet, too dry, too cold, or simply bugged by insects!
Sunshine-Epi - Brassinosteroid Plant Hormone: essential for plants recovering from stress (shipping, transplanting, drought, insect damage, cold stress, etc.). Apply as needed.

✔️ For Sweeter, Bigger Fruit


Sunshine Honey - Fruit Sugar Booster: application on fruit trees will make fruit bigger and sweeter by directing sugars to the fruit from other plant parts, and helps to prevent bud drop. Apply 4 times a year: at bud setting, flowering, fruit setting, and after harvesting.

✔️ For Better Resistance


Sunshine Power Si - Silicon Protector - enhances resistance to insects, diseases, drought, and frost, while boosting growth. Apply once a month, along with Sunshine SuperFood.
