And hey, it’s not all frozen doom and gloom! Jene also shares what should be planted right now so your garden can keep on growing—even if you’re still wearing socks with sandals.

JENE'S TROPICALS - BRRR… MY BANANAS FROZE! COLD WEATHER PLANT RESCUE

Florida paradise is filled with palm trees, poinsettias—and the occasional plant heartbreak caused by watering just one more time.

In this fun and informative episode of Jene’s Tropicals, Jene helps rescue holiday plants everywhere. Find out why your poinsettia might be giving you side-eye, why Christmas cactus prefer shade over sunshine, and how the wrong fertilizer can send your buds packing before they even bloom.

From speckled “Jingle Bell” poinsettias to Christmas cactus that can be passed down for generations, Jene shares simple tips on what not to do—and how to keep your plants cheerful instead of stressful.

Then we branch out into tropical treats: mangoes, lychee, persimmons you’ll actually enjoy, and fruit trees so good you may start planning your calendar around harvest time. Learn why avocado trees drop leaves before flowering, why mangoes are worth the wait, and why sometimes the best gardening advice is to relax and let the plant do its thing.

If you’ve ever said, “But I fertilized it!” right before everything fell off—this episode is for you.

🌺 Less nitrogen. More blooms. Happier plants.

For all your spring planting needs, stop by Jene’s Tropicals at 6831 Central Avenue in St. Petersburg, or visit tropicalfruit.com.

JENE'S TROPICALS - HOE HOE HOE: ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A PLANT I CAN KEEP ALIVE

Welcome to the only show where paradise found meets paradise pruned! Whether you’re nurturing palms, pampering plumerias, or just trying to keep your poinsettias from “leaf-ing” you for dead, Jene’s Tropicals is here to help your garden flourish instead of flounder.

Join your host, Jene—Florida’s unofficial Queen of Green—as she sprinkles sunshine, plant wisdom, and holiday cheer like glitter on a Polar Bear poinsettia. (Yes, she’ll teach you how to do that too.) From mystery bagged bugs (bring ‘em in!) to fungus among us, no plant problem is too weird, wilted, or worrisome.

This festive episode is bursting with:
🎄 Poinsettia know-how you didn’t know you needed
🌵 Christmas cactus secrets that won’t leave you prickly
🦩 Seven-foot pink flamingos so fabulous they “flew” off the lot
🎨 Talavera pottery that brings the art to “garden party”
☀️ Florida winter gratitude, Christmas-in-the-sand vibes, and a whole lot of love for listeners

Janae’s guiding philosophy? Don’t put your poinsettias in a salad, don’t drown them in water, and for heaven’s sake don’t let them sit in an A/C draft unless you want a red-and-green leaf blizzard in your living room.

So tune in, laugh along, learn a ton, and maybe even tear up when Jene reminds us what Christmas is really about. (Spoiler: she can’t finish the sentence without crying. Bring tissues.)

Find Jene at tropicalfruit.com, or wander into Jene’s Tropicals at 6831 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, FL where the plants are happy, the music is jolly, and the flamingos are tall enough to see from space.
