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!

Oh, so pretty! Good tip about using cactus mix.
I always put bark and rocks on the bottom of my containers to help with drainage too. thanks for your comment!
You can grow these from cutting too?? Plumeria are so feminine. Love them.
Yes, you can cut off a section and put rooting hormone on the end and place it in a pot of soil.. it will grow roots!
My home on Hawaii is amidst a forrest of Plumerias. When the
wind breaks off a limb, I stick it back in the ground, and it starts
a new life of it’s own. I never give up on one of my plants.
It must smell heavenly at your home when all the plumerias are in bloom and there is a nice tradewind…. paradise!
