They grow best in areas with an average temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) and relative humidity of 60-80%. They are also sensitive to frost, so make sure to protect them during cold weather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Yerba mate plants prefer well-drained, acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should have a pH level of 4.5 to 5.5. You can add organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure to the soil to improve its quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater: Yerba mate plants require regular watering to keep the soil moist. Water the plants deeply once or twice a week, depending on the weather and soil moisture. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFertilizer: Yerba mate plants benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season. Use a balanced fertilizer that is high in nitrogen to promote leaf growth. Apply the fertilizer every two to three weeks during the growing season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePruning: Yerba mate plants can be pruned to maintain their shape and promote bushy growth. Prune the plants in early spring before new growth starts. You can also remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches at any time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePests and diseases: Yerba mate plants can be susceptible to pests such as spider mites, scale insects, and aphids. To control these pests, use insecticidal soap or neem oil. Yerba mate plants can also be affected by fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spot. To prevent these diseases, avoid overhead watering and maintain good air circulation around the plants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollow me on social media because I talk a lot about the same seed varieties I sell here in my shop and gardening tips.

I sprout rhizomes in \"plant plug\" sizes. ***Please note that sometimes I have to trim the leaves to fit in the shipping box which does not harm the plant- they will grow back quickly***.

It is perennial in garden zones +9, or where the ground doesn't freeze. If the ground freezes, it will kill the rhizome.

It will start sprouting new growth when spring arrives. Plants can get as tall as 4-5FT. If you bring it in doors, it is ok to cut the stems down if you have to.

It is the closest thing to a traditional \"cherry\" that I can grow here in my Florida garden. It is native to the Caribbean so it grows and produces great in tropical and sub-tropical areas. It produces fruit almost all year round, making it very productive. The plants are self fertile, so you only need one. But if you have two growing next to each other, they will cross pollinate which increases yields. My trees start to bloom around April\/May once warmer weather arrives. Fruits are ready to harvest in about 3 weeks from bloom. The fruit is soft, juicy, and has a thin skin. The flavor is delicious, reminding me of fruit punch drinks. The Barbados cherry doesn't have a hard pit inside. Instead, it contains 2-3 seeds that are easy to spit out. These little cherries are packed with Vitamin C and eating just 2-3 cherries provides more than the daily requirement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarbados cherry is a fast growing tropical fruit tree that will mature at around 12FT tall (if planted in ground and not pruned). It kind of looks like a young bushy oak tree. However, the tree can be pruned down to a lower height or maintained as a shrub. It actually makes a great option as a landscaping hedge or shrub line since its ornamental but provides something edible. If needed, the Barbados cherry can be grown in containers (try to grow in the biggest container that you can find). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow long will it take to start fruiting? Approximately 2-3 years if grown in ideal conditions. This is a well rooted starter plant that will grow quickly.

Its high medicinal and is used to make tea, dried as a seasoning, or added to marinades for various meats. Like other members of the mint family, this is a vigorous plant that spreads when its stems touch the soil and get rooted. However, the stems are much thicker making it easier to gram and pull them out if needed.

This is a highly sought after Hawaiian variety because it boosts so many awesome features in one. It is a low acid cultivar, meaning it will taste super sweet. It also has a completely edible core - meaning the core is not so hard and fibrous like other varieties. Lastly, leaves are thronless, which is very helpful when it comes to weeding around plants or applying fertilizer in the pineapple patch. Pineapples are part of the bromeliad family so they do not require much attention to thrive\/fruit. This listing is for a live pineapple plant. It can take 9 to 24 months (very dependent on growing conditions) for the plant to reach maturity and produce fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBenefits of Growing the White Jade Pineapple:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlavor: You have not experienced full pineapple flavor, unless you have eaten a home grown, ripened on the plant, pineapple.

Pineapple plants don't have many pest issues or requirements to thrive. Plus this variety has thornless leaves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVersatile indoor or outdoor plant: In colder zones below USDA garden zone 9, pineapple plants can be grown in containers and then brought inside once temperatures start to fall below 50F. Treat it like a tropical houseplant. Consider a more cold tolerant cultivar like Florida Special. Zones 9 and up can safely plant pineapples outdoors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerennial food crop: Pineapples are perennial plants that will survive for many years in warmer climates. They make the perfect low maintenance addition to a food forest or to incorporate into permaculture based gardens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSunlight: Place your pineapple plant in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of bright sunlight each day. If your in a hot climate like Florida, pineapples do much better if they get some afternoon shade. My pineapple patch grows under other trees. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatering: Maintain moderately moist soil, watering the plant thoroughly whenever the top inch of soil feels dry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Pineapples don't require rich soil to thrive.

Luffa aka Loofah aka dish rag gourd, is a tropical plant and thrives during the hot and rainy summers of Florida and the Southern United States. It is sensitive to cold weather and frost can kill the entire vine. The vines are vigorous, grow quickly, and get very big. Some gardeners like to grow it up a large tree for support. I grow mine on metal trellises because each luffa gets heavy. This is so much fun to grow. The bees and pollinators love the bright yellow flowers. I like to hand pollinate each flower to ensure they will produce a luffa gourd. It is easier to peel the luffa's to get the sponges inside just before it is completely dried out and brown, still at the end of the green stage. I recommend you watch some YouTube videos to see how it is done (video on my YouTube channel coming soon).

It helps to knick a corner of the seed shell to allow more water into the seed with a nail clipper. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. It needs warm soil temperatures. Can direct sow once outside temperatures are consistently in the 70F's or above. Or start seeds in doors 4 weeks before your last frost date. In warmer climates (zones +9) can also direct sow or start seeds in June\/July to get another harvest before winter comes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. If your going to start seeds indoors, sow in solo cups or larger pots because they grow quickly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. I highly recommend the use of a heat mat to speed up germination.

It is perennial in garden zones +9, or where the ground doesn't freeze. If the ground freezes, it will kill the rhizome.

It will start sprouting new growth when spring arrives. Plants can get as tall as 4-5FT. If you bring it in doors, it is ok to cut the stems down if you have to.

The leaves can also be dried and blended into powder form so it can be added into smoothies. The leaves are considered a super food, as it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and high in plant based protein. It also contains all eight essential amino acids. Moringa contains 7x the Vitamin C found in oranges, 4x the calcium of milk, 4x the Vitamin A of carrots, 3x the potassium of bananas and essential trace minerals such as iron and zinc. Does best in zones 9 and warmer as it is a tropical plant. It is very fast growing and the leaves\/branches are used for \"chop and drop\" garden practices and composting.

This semi-tropical herb thrives in hot climates when many other herbs cannot. The broad leaves have a soft fuzzy sensation with a strong mint\/oregano\/lemon type of flavor. Its high medicinal and is used to make tea, dried as a seasoning, or added to marinades for various meats. Like other members of the mint family, this is a vigorous plant that spreads when its stems touch the soil and get rooted. However, the stems are much thicker making it easier to gram and pull them out if needed.

Otherwise, treat it as a long lived annual crop that will die once the cold arrives, but not before providing several flushes of harvestable beans. This vegetable is really meant to be grown as a drying or shelling bean. This is by far the best shelling for the purpose of drying black bean cultivar I have ever grown. It is a must for those looking to add edible plants to their permaculture or food forest type setups. It is important to note that Puerto Rican black beans are day light sensitive, meaning they are triggered to start flowering and producing beans once the day light hours start to shorten in fall. So it it best to direct sow seeds in early summer so they are nice big plants by fall time. Also, I cannot stress how big these vines get.

Wait for them to turn completely red if you want to dry\/smoke them for chipotle peppers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are slow to germinate and slow to start growing to transplant size. I recommend to start seeds in pots\/trays with a heat mat to speed up germination. Then start fertilizing weekly with half strength fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Peppers are similar to tomatoes in that they like plenty of water and are heavy feeders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are perennial plants and can produce for several years if taken care of. In cold climates trim off all the leaves and bring in doors in a pot to over winter. Place back out doors once temperatures are nice and warm. In mild climates, pepper plants can be left out doors and might need to be covered on the coldest nights. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow me on social media because I talk a lot about the same seed varieties I sell here in my shop and gardening tips.

Plants produce fruits that can be variable in shape and color. Some are light green while others are more dark green. Some are nice and round, while others are more oblong in shape (see second picture).
