Growing tips:

- Free flowering shrub in tropical gardens.
- Plumerias grow well in absolutely all kinds of soils.
- They can be grown in pots as well as the ground.
- Plumerias can go without water for long periods of time.
- However regular irrigation in the hot summer growing months will make them bloom better and have a fresher looking crown.
- Can be cut back if they are getting too big.
- Plants grow and flower well in containers as well. Choose large sizes for optimum growth.
- Do not over fertilize as plants will only put out leaves and soft growth. A bit of starvation - makes them flower more.
