Plumeria rubra, commonly known as Frangipani, is a small deciduous tree native to Central America, Mexico, and Venezuela. It is well-known for its fragrant flowers, which come in a variety of colors including white, yellow, pink, and red. The plant thrives in seasonally dry tropical climates and has a dormancy period during the cooler months.
Plumeria rubra requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be protected from frost. The plant thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Water the plant thoroughly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Use a balanced fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content, such as 10-30-10, to promote flowering. Fertilize the plant every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormancy period.

Plumeria rubra can be propagated through cuttings. Take cuttings during the spring or early summer. Allow the cut end to dry and callous over for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist until roots develop.
Snoeien
Prune Plumeria rubra to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done during the dormant season. Use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts and avoid damaging the plant.
