Add a little Sunshine to keep your plants looking their best

Just like people, a little sunshine goes a long way in keeping them happy. it is usually easier to keep a plant healthy than it is to fix it when it is not well. Proper plant nutrition is often times the issue. The good news is that it is easy to keep your plants looking good by following proper nutrition practices.

Of course, we recommend that you feed your plants on a regular basis with Sunshine Boosters amino acid based fertilizers. That is the first step to getting them the nutrition that they need, but there is one other thing that will help and it is simple to do. Feeding your plants with micronutrients that they just don’t get in regular fertilizers can prevent deficiencies. Let’s get started on a regular program of using foliar sprays to help keep your plants looking their best. Many of the micro-elements are best absorbed by plant’s leaves; spraying them on a regular basis is easy. Let’s talk about how to do it and what to use.

What product do you recommend?

We recommend using three products:

·       Sunshine Superfood

·       Sunshine Epi

·       Sunshine Power-Si

How often do I need to treat my plants?

We are recommending a foliar spray once per week to maintain optimal health conditions. This is based on recent studies done in Ukraine by the scientist who invented Sunshine Boosters products.

During the spring and fall we will treat as follows:

In the summer and winter we will switch the Sunshine Epi for Sunshine Power-Si and continue with the every other week schedule as follows:

Tell me more about these products and what they do.

Sunshine Superfood is a complex microelement supplement. It is a super micro-element supplement (Amino acid Chelated Micronutrient) containing microelements, ultra-microelements, glycinates, as well as SUNSHINE-Honey ingredients. It shows amazing results in plant development, treating different element deficiencies, and improving fruit trees production. It is recommended to use Sunshine Superfood every other week as a foliar spray. It only requires 5 ml per gallon of water and is compatible with hard water and even river water. More information can be found here. Please note that this page recommends the use of Sunshine – E booster. That product is now called Sunshine Epi.

Sunshine Epi is a brassinosteroid plant hormone that seems to work some magic on plants. Although it will not bring a dead plant back to life, it does seem to help plants to use the nutrition that they are provided and will revive sickly plants quickly. Brassinosteroids have also been shown to help a bit with cold tolerance. It will not save your plant from a deep freeze, but may give you an extra degree or two of protection. In some zones, that can be a plant saver. See more information about Sunshine Epi here. Sunshine Epi should be mixed only with distilled or reverse osmosis water at the rate of 2.5 ml per gallon. We are now recommending that Sunshine Epi be used every other week in the spring and fall, alternating weeks with Sunshine Superfood.

Sunshine Power-Si is an advanced plant protector with Silicon. Silicon (Si) - is the mineral substrate absolutely necessary for all plant life on our Planet. In field crops it is known to affect plant growth and quality, photosynthesis, transpiration and enhance plant resistance to stresses such as drought and freezing. (Remember the freeze that killed a lot of small plants and trees in zone 9B last year)? When readily available to plants, it plays a large role in several functions:

v  Increased photosynthetic activity

v  Increased insect and disease resistance

v  Reduced mineral toxicity

v  Improvement of nutrient imbalance

v  Enhanced drought and frost tolerance

v  Enhanced plant growth

 Sunshine Power-Si is mixed with regular tap water at the rate of 5 ml per pint (16 oz.) and is to be applied as a foliar spray every other week in the summer and winter alternating weeks with Sunshine Superfood. More information about Sunshine Power-Si is available here.
