A: From Kristi, TopTropicals Flower Expert:
At Top Tropicals, we used to think yellow Plumeria was the most fragrant.
That was until we discovered multi-colored hybrids and stunning "rainbow"
varieties! These rare beauties are prized not just for their sweet, strong
fragrance but also for their dazzling mix of tropical colors.
We just received new arrivals of stunning new Plumeria varieties - but
quantities are limited, so don't wait! Choose your favorite colors and bring home the irresistible scent of the
tropics.
Plumerias are famous for their rich colors and unforgettable fragrance.
With just a few simple steps, you can grow your own blooming tree and enjoy
flowers just like in the pictures.
5
simple rules how to grow a fragrant Plumeria
1. Use well-drained soil. Choose a potting mix rich in perlite,
bark, and coconut fiber. We recommend Sunshine Abundance professional soil mix for best results.
2. Choose the right container. Use a pot just slightly larger
than the root ball to prevent water-logging. Plumeria prefers dry conditions -
water only when the soil is slightly dry.
3. Give it full sun. Plumeria needs plenty of light to bloom. If
grown indoors, place it in the brightest spot and bring it outside for
sunbathing whenever possible.
4. Let it rest in winter. Plumeria drops its leaves and goes
dormant during the cooler months. When this happens, reduce watering to a minimum
and let the plant rest until new growth begins.
5. Feed it to bloom. Plumeria is a heavy feeder and needs
fertilizer to flower well. Use a plant food high in phosphorus, like Sunsine Megaflor Bloom Booster liquid fertilizer. It's safe to use with
every watering, all year round.
