I KNOW THAT CREATING + GROWING = INSPIRED LIVING!

ALOHA PLUMERIAS September 30, 2009

I get the feeling of being in Hawaii when my Plumerias are in bloom. If I close my eyes and smell the scent of the flowers; I can even pretend for a moment that I am on a tropical island. Look at these beauties that are so easy to grow and can create such a vibrant, tropical atmosphere.

Quick Tips for Plumerias:

1. Place in full sun. 2. The soil needs to have good drainage- use cactus mix. 3. Keep soil evenly moist and spray with a water mister, daily if possible. 4. If you get  a cutting, use root hormone to aid in root growth and plant 4 inches into the soil. 5. When the plumeria starts to bloom, add organic bone meal to the soil to boost flowering (a 3 lb. bag is around $6.00). 6. Keep out of frost conditions in the winter by covering at night, or bringing Plumeria indoors. 6. Talk and sing to your plumeria often- you will both grow more abundantly!
