🌸 5 simple rules how to grow a fragrant Plumeria tree and make it bloom for you, just like in the pictures.
  1. Soil must be well-drained: use potting mix with good amount of perlite, bark, and coconut fiber. We recommend Sunshine Abundance professional soil mix for best results.
  2. Container must be the size of the root ball and not much bigger, to avoid water-logging. Plumeria likes dry conditions. Water only when the soil gets slightly dry.
  3. Full sun is a must. If grown indoors, keep the plant in the brightest spot and take it outside for the sun bathing when possible.
  4. Dormancy in winter: this little tree drops leaves during winter. When it happens, reduce water to the minimum and let your Plumeria rest until it starts sprouting new leaves.
  5. Fertilize for the profuse flowering with a plant food that is high in Phosphorus. Plumeria is a heavy feeder. We recommend Sunsine Megaflor Bloom Booster liquid fertilizer - it can be used with every watering and year around.


  6. 🪷 Enjoy the fragrant blooms!
