Frangipani plant

Where does the beautiful frangipani plant come from?

Plumeria, or also called Frangipani, is one of the most beautiful and fragrant exotic plants on Earth. It is a deciduous semi succulent shrub or small tree, with large leathery green leaves. At the end of the twigs are also the beautiful fragrant inflorescences, which are usually white or pink, and towards the middle acquire a yellow-orange color. They give off an incredible divine fragrance, a combination of cinnamon, gentle jasmine, fresh citrus and the deep and sensual scent of gardenia. This palette of fragrances sharpens the senses and makes you remember this scent forever!

The Frangipani plant is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America. It prefers dry and hot places to grow, with plenty of sunlight. It is for this reason that it is most often found in exotic and warm countries - Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Hawaii, etc. In our country, it is grown as a potted plant that captivates the senses during the summer months with its abundant fragrant and beautiful blooms.

Tips for growing Frangipani

In our climatic conditions it is successfully grown as an ornamental plant in a pot. It does not require much attention and care, just regular watering and feeding twice a month from March to September with fertilizers rich in potassium and phosphorus but low in nitrogen. Cactus fertilizers are also suitable.

The Frangipani plant likes well-drained soil and constant sunlight. It loves heat, so it is best kept in the sunniest spot in summer. During the active season, watering is roughly every 1-2 days, with the frequency depending on the weather and the condition of the plant.

The plant needs space to develop a healthy and beautiful root system. So always plant it in a larger pot.

The duration of flowering is up to two months.
