This doesn’t happen often, but we do get freezes! ❄️ If your plants were affected by the hard freeze we just experienced, here are a few helpful tips:

💧• Water your plants thoroughly if you haven’t already.
🌿• For mushy, wet tissue, prune it back to firm, healthy material.

If your plants only have brown or dried foliage or woody tissue, don’t rush to prune just yet. Leaving it in place can actually help protect the plant if more cold weather is on the way.

✂️ When to prune:
Pruning is best done once temperatures begin staying in the 40s or higher, or you can wait until spring when new growth appears. At that point, it’s much easier to see where to prune above a bud or node.

🌴 For tropical plants (such as papaya and banana):
Remove any mushy, wet tissue. If everything appears dry, no action is needed right now — just keep an eye on it. You should see a clear line between living and dead tissue.

⚠️ Be careful not to over-prune!
Dead, brown stems can help protect healthy tissue below if we get another cold snap.

Landscapes across Brevard County may look a little rough until spring arrives — and that’s okay. 🌼 That’s just part of gardening in Florida after a freeze!

🚨Hard FREEZE Alert for Florida❄️❄️❄️ Make sure your heaters are working!! Pipes are the big risk. Buildings in warm climates aren’t designed for prolonged cold. Even a short freeze can cause pipes in exterior walls, shared chases, or unconditioned spaces to freeze and burst.🚨
Condos share systems. Your unit might be fine, but a neighboring vacant unit with no heat can freeze and flood your place.
‼️Two days is enough. It doesn’t take long—just a few hours below freezing can do damage.🌡Set the thermostat to 55–60°F.
That’s warm enough to protect pipes but not expensive to run.✔️ Open cabinet doors under sinks (especially exterior walls). ✔️Shut off the main water supply if you’ll be gone and ✔️If you have a smart thermostat, check in remotely. Beachtown Concierge

🥶❄️ HARD FREEZE ALERT FOR FLORIDA ❄️🥶

A strong Arctic cold front is set to push deep into Florida, bringing widespread teens and 20s up and down the state by early Sunday morning (Feb 1).

📉 What stands out:

-Teens possible across North Florida
-20s reaching well into Central Florida
-Even South Florida dipping into the 30s, with colder inland spots

This will be a significant, state-wide hard freeze, not just a brief cold snap. Sensitive plants, exposed pipes, pets, and those without adequate heat will all be at risk.

⚠️ Now is the time to prepare:
• Protect plants & pipes
• Bring pets indoors
• Check on neighbors

Florida winter is pulling no punches this year. Stay weather aware.

REMINDER⚠️ - Maintain a healthy air conditioner in our warmer months! 🌡☀️🏡

➡️Locate the condensate drain line access point—usually a T-shaped vent with a cap near the indoor unit.

1. Turn off your AC at the thermostat and breaker for safety.🚨

2. Remove the cap and pour 1 cup of vinegar into the drain line. I recommend using a funnel.☑️

2. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour.⏳️

3. Flush with warm water and repeat monthly to prevent buildup.🚰

👀❗️Why Vinegar Is Better Than Bleach

☑️Safer for materials: Vinegar is less corrosive than bleach and won't damage PVC or metal components.

☑️Non-toxic: Vinegar is safer to use around pets and people.

✔️Effective: It kills most mold, mildew, and algae that can build up in the drain line.

⏳️✔️❗️Don't forget about those air filters!! It's also recommended to change those monthly and sign up with your A/C provider for regular and routine maintenance

Why Regular Pest Control Inspections Matter — And How Beachtown Concierge Has You Covered

At Beachtown Concierge, we understand that your Florida property is more than just real estate—it's your home, investment and sanctuary. That’s why proactive pest control is a key part of our concierge service, especially in our warm, coastal climate.

Here’s why regular inspections are a must—especially during Florida’s most pest-prone seasons:

⚠️ Peak Pest Season (April–October)
Florida's heat and humidity make spring through fall a breeding ground for termites, ants, roaches, and rodents. Early detection during these months can stop an infestation before it starts.

🚨Protect Your Investment Year-Round
Pests don’t take vacations—even if you do. Termites and rodents can cause thousands in structural damage if left unchecked.

🏨 Health & Safety First
Insects and rodents can spread disease and trigger allergies. Regular inspections help protect your family, guests, or tenants.

🗣 Avoid Neighbor Complaints
In multi-unit properties, a single untreated issue can affect the entire building. We help you stay a responsible and proactive neighbor.

🛑 HOA & Lease Compliance
Many associations in coastal communities require pest prevention. We stay ahead of these details so you don’t have to.

🌊 Peace of Mind When You're Away
Whether you’re seasonal or year-round, we manage your property like it’s our own—with loyalty, integrity, and hands-on service.

Beachtown Concierge provides routine inspections and timely solutions, tailored to the unique challenges of Florida’s climatel ☀️

Local. Loyal. Logistically-minded. That’s the Beachtown Concierge difference.

As March comes to an end in our beach community, the Northerners are packing up to go home after a peaceful Florida winter. If you are one of them, here are some important tips to follow to secure your home while you're away🏘

When closing up your home for an extended period, it’s essential to secure the property, prevent potential damage, and ensure a smooth return🏖

Start by turning off the main water supply to prevent leaks. 🚽🚿Unplug all appliances, except for the refrigerator if you plan to leave it running. If turning off the fridge, clean it thoroughly, leave the doors ajar to prevent mold, and shut off the ice maker. If keeping it on, set it to an energy-saving mode and remove perishable items🛑🔌

Secure all windows🪟, doors, and sliding glass doors with locks🔒, and consider installing a security system or smart cameras for remote monitoring📷

Forward your mail📬 to another address or set up a temporary hold with the postal service. Arrange for a trusted neighbor, friend, or BEACHTOWN CONCIERGE 🌊😁 to check in occasionally for any maintenance issues.

Clean the condo thoroughly 🧹, including emptying trash cans, vacuuming, and removing any food that could attract pests🪳🐀.

If you have a car 🚗parked on the property, ensure it’s covered and possibly have someone start it occasionally to maintain the battery.

Finally, set timers⏰️ on a few lights for security🚨, and ensure your homeowner’s insurance covers a vacant property for an extended period. These precautions will help maintain your condo in good condition while you're away.
