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 - PALM & ORCHID: SWEATY PALMS FROM NERVOUS TREES AND JUICY FRUIT DRAMA

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.
