Care & Growth:

Watering:

The plant is best grown in rich, dry to medium moisture, well-drained loams.

Water moderately when in growth, but keep almost dry during the winter months. It is drought tolerant.

Light:

Plumeria prefers full sun, but they’ll tolerate partial sun and partial shade conditions. When grown indoors in colder climates, keep your Plumeria in bright light during the growing season.

Temperature:

Ideally, Plumeria should be located where the temperature remains between 65-80°F (18-27°C) most of the time. If temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C), the plant will drop its leaves and go dormant.

Feeding:

Fertilize plants every 2 weeks during the growing season. Use fertilizer with high phosphate content, such as one with an NPK of 10-50-10. Giving them too much nitrogen will only result in more foliage growth and less flowering.

Medical Importance:

The different parts of the plant are used traditionally to treat various diseases like diabetes mellitus, wounds and skin disease, diuretic, purgative.

Important Note:

(Flowering plants only blossom naturally in their respective seasons. Fruit bearing plants only produce fruits naturally during their growing seasons. All plants are sold in generic nursery pots, and may naturally vary in colors/sizes from the exact images illustrated above.)
