Frangipani Care

The lovely Plumeria Rubra or Frangipani do best in a warm position with at least 6 hours of full sun in Summer. Once established they are quite drought tolerant. Deep watering during hot and dry Summer weather is always appreciated. Slow release fertilizer after new growth in late Spring will keep your plant thriving.

Frangipani are deciduous in cooler climates like Sydney and will lose their leaves over Winter. During this dormant time, watering is usually not necessary.

When or if re-potting a free draining soil mix is preferred as Frangipani do not like their roots to sit in pools of water. A combination of Cactus & Succulent bagged soil mixed with premium bagged soil mix will do the trick. Adding coarse sand and or perlite can also be used to help achieve an excellent draining soil.
