Plant Care🪴
Sunlight ☀️
Plumeria requires full sun exposure to thrive and produce abundant blooms. Provide it with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
Soil🌱
Use a well-draining soil mixture for your Plumeria rubra, such as a blend of sand, perlite, and loam. This helps prevent root rot. The plant can tolerate a range of soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH.
Watering 💧
During the active growing season, water your Plumeria rubra regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant goes dormant.
Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
Fertiliser🌱
Feed your Plumeria rubra with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for flowering plants. Apply it every two to three months during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Pruning🌿
Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the shape and size of the plant. Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. You can also selectively prune to encourage branching and more flower production.
