Care Instructions

1. 1. Watering: Water your Plumeria deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), keep the soil slightly moist but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering during the winter when the plant goes dormant.
   2. Soil: Plumeria thrives in well-draining soil. A mix of sand, perlite, and potting soil works best to prevent root rot. Ensure the pot or garden bed has proper drainage to avoid water accumulation.
   3. Sunlight: Plumeria loves full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to bloom abundantly. Plant it in a sunny spot to promote healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
   4. Fertilizing: Feed your Plumeria with a high-phosphorus fertilizer (often labeled as “bloom boosters”) during the growing season. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks in spring and summer to encourage blooming, but stop fertilizing in fall and winter.
   5. Pruning: Prune dead or damaged branches in early spring before new growth begins. You can also prune for shape, but avoid over-pruning, as Plumeria blooms on new growth.
   6. Pest Control: Watch out for pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil to keep your plant healthy.
   7. Dormancy: In cooler months, Plumeria may lose its leaves and go dormant. During this time, reduce watering and do not fertilize. Once the temperatures warm up, new growth will emerge.

   Following these care tips will help your Plumeria thrive and produce its iconic, fragrant blooms.
