Plumerias are sub-tropical plants. They like warm temperatures and well draining soil. If winter temperatures in your area drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend keeping them in well draining pots which can be moved to a protected area during the winter.

We have found that the best way to repot is to lightly tap around the outside of the pot and pull up on the base of the trunk. You may need an extra set of hands just for support of the tree as the branches can easily break. If that doesn't work and the tree is overly root bound, you may have to cut or break the pot to remove the tree.

It is normal for a freshly rooted Plumeria to not bloom the first year. Give it a good fertilizer and be patient.

At Big Island Plumeria, we use a 50%/50% mix of Potting Soil and Perilite. Some plumeria growers prefer a cactus soil instead. Whichever method you choose, it is important that the plant has good drainage at all times.

Common pests and fungi of plumeria include spider mites, mealy bugs, scale and rust. You should use a foliar spray to treat these common problems. We recommend using BioAdvance 3:1. For routine control, diluted water and alcohol in a spray bottle is also effective.
