The Frangipani (Plumeria Rubra) flower is unique. It smells like no other plant in the world and each colour has its own unique individual fragrance. Some plumerias have a sweet perfume, others like jasmine flowers, others have a fruit smell of peaches or citrus fruits.

Here in Thailand the old frangipani flower blooms are collected by the international perfume companies to make oils for their scents.

They can be grown anywhere in the world, it can be a 12 foot tree if you live in the warmer climates, or if you live somewhere cooler grow in a pot and can be moved indoors when weather is cooler. It is hardy to 12°C (54 F) outside. It will only grow relative to the size of pot.

We have buyers who grow these in Scotland in pots!

Sowing
*********
To begin the germination process, place the seeds in a warm, moist environment for about 24 hours before sowing.
Do this by placing the seeds between moistened paper towels in a bowl. The paper towel or tissues should be damp not drippng wet.
The thicker end of the seed should be noticeably swollen after the 24 hours.

Choose a pot at least 3 – 4 inches deep. Fill with moistened potting compost, make a small hole and gently push seed ¼ “ vertically into the soil.

The seed’s wing should be sticking straight upright and some of its wing will be allowed to protrude above the soil. (See pictures)
Cover the container with cling film so creating a mini greenhouse and place in a warm and bright light place but not in full sun.
DO NOT LET SOIL DRY OUT but do not over water

The seeds will take 7 to 30 days to germinate.

Once the seedlings have developed their second set of true leaves they can be transplanted to a bigger pot.

Once about 6 inches tall they are strong enough to plant outside if that is your intention or move to a even bigger pot about 10".

Water the area around the Plumeria after planting it in the ground, or if you choose to use a container, use one that has adequate drainage holes in the bottom to avoid over watering of the plant.

Plumerias are an easy plant to grow with the proper care and attention, and the most beautiful blooms they can produce will probably hasten your desire to cultivate even more Plumerias the next year!

The Plumeria is very low maintenance. It is drought tolerant and can be grown in full sun or partial sun.
