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.

Thank You for a Beautiful Spring Plant Market!

Spring Plant Market at Top Tropicals

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Spring Plant Market on March 1! It was a perfect early spring day - nice, warm, sunny, and just right for planting. We loved seeing so many familiar faces, welcoming new friends, and sharing the joy of nature together.

Our friendly PeopleCats were hard at work, guiding guests through the garden as they picked out the perfect plants to brighten their spaces. The energy was vibrant, and the smiles were endless!

Check out the event photos made by Damien (he's got some great portraits of people and PeopleCats!). If you see yourself or your friends, save or forward to share the memories! We wish you the best of luck with all your new plants, and we can’t wait to see you again at our next event. Happy planting!

Your TopTropicals Team works hard in the field and is always happy to help with your garden needs, plant selection, delivery, and installation: Kristi, Jamie, Onika, Damien, Chiane, Beatriz, Fermin, Mark.

🍲 What Fertilizer to Use Now and How?
Part 1. What are important keys to healthy plants

❓ Q: It's early Spring this year. Should I start fertilizing my plants sooner than usual?
  • ✔️ A: Most fertilizer instructions recommend fertilizing tropical plants from March to November. This is because plants don't need as much food during the cooler months when many go dormant, and excess nutrients can burn the roots if not absorbed. However, for the most effective fertilizer program and healthy plants, consider these points:
  • ✔️ Sunshine Boosters Year-Round


    • Liquid amino-acid-based fertilizers like Sunshine Boosters are safe to use year-round. Since watering is reduced in cooler weather, the intake of water-soluble fertilizer is also lower, providing plants with just the essential nutrients for their minimal needs.
  • ✔️ Dry Fertilizer Schedule


    • Be cautious with dry fertilizers. Apply them only during active growth in the hot season.
  • ✔️ Temperature Is Key


    • If March is still cold, delay dry fertilizer use. However, if nighttime temperatures in February stay above 65F, you can start a dry fertilizer program using slow-release, granulated plant food.
  • ✔️ What Fertilizers to Use and How


Check out our Sunshine Boosters selection for different types of plants and choose the right type for your needs. These can be applied as often as with every watering. We will explain in details about every type of fertilizer in our next post🔽

Why Adeniums are the most popular container plants

Varieties of Desert roses - Adeniums - chart

Varieties of Desert roses - Adeniums - chart

🌸 Why Adeniums are the most popular container plants
  • 🌸 Desert roses - Adeniums - are among the most popular container plants. Why? Because they are:

· Easy to grow and can thrive in both sun and shade, indoors, and in low humidity.
  • · Drought-tolerant, requiring minimal water and able to go long periods without it.
  • · Not fussy about soil pH.
  • · Stunning bloomers with showy flowers.
  • · Unique and eye-catching, with a curious caudex that forms unusual shapes.

  • 🌸 How many varieties and colors of desert roses out there?

· At Top Tropicals, we offer over 200 varieties of Adeniums, with more than 100 available in stock at any time.
  • · With so many colors of hybrids available in cultivation, you want to collect them all!
  • · Double flowers, red, purple, yellow, striped, dotted, rainbow, and even black flowers!


🌸 The secret to creating a large, swollen caudex:
Raise the plant slightly every time you repot it, exposing the upper part of the roots. This encourages the plant to form more roots that grow downward.
Unlike most tropical and houseplants, Adeniums prefer neutral to hard water. They have very low water needs and can grow in full sun or shade.
