More About the Product

Plumeria , which are also known as Lei flowers and Frangipani, are actually small trees.

They are highly fragrant and bloom freely from spring throughout fall in multiple colors like white, yellow, pink, and red. These flowers stand out nicely amid the large-leaved foliage, which may be evergreen or deciduous, depending on the type. Plumerias are tropical trees famous for their gorgeous flowers which are used to make leis. In regions with cold winters, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors when the weather cools in autumn. Branches are upright and rather crowded on the trunk forming a vase or umbrella shape with age.They are rather soft and brittle and can break but are usually sturdy unless they are mechanically hit or disturbed. The crown loses its leaves for a short time during the winter displaying the coarse textured, stubby branches. .Plumerias are tropical trees famous for their gorgeous flowers which are used to make leis (floral garlands).

Care And Nurture

Lighting

The plant prefers bright direct sunlight. At least 6 hrs full sun needs to be provided daily. In fact, the sunnier the position, the stronger will be the coloring of the leaves.

Watering

Allow the top half inch of the soil/potting mixture to dry before watering again. Avoid over watering in winter.
They should be watered deeply when irrigated and then allowed to dry out some before watering again.
Reduce watering in mid fall and stop completely once the plants enter dormancy in winter.

Soil and Fertilizers

high phosphate (phosphorus) fertilizer, like 10-30-10, will help encourage blooms.
Giving them too much nitrogen will only result in more foliage growth and less flowering.

pruning

Plumerias may be pruned as needed (up to 12 inches from ground) in late winter or early spring (prior to new growth); however, any drastic or hard pruning done may reduce flowering.
Plumerias normally require little pruning, but any shaping should be done in spring.
