The frangipani, also known as plumeria, is an ornamental plant that is particularly enchanting with its beautiful, fragrant flowers. In order for a beautiful flower to develop, the frangipani needs a lot of care and a favorable location.
How to achieve a beautiful frangipani flower?
To promote beautiful frangipani flowers, the plant needs sufficient light, temperatures above 15 degrees, moderate fertilization until flowering and a stable location. Cuttings bloom faster than plants grown from seeds.
Frangipani flowers in many colors
Frangipani comes in different varieties. The umbel-shaped flower can be white, yellow or red in color.
If you want to use cuttings from a frangipani to grow new plants, keep in mind that yellow and white varieties are more likely to root than red varieties.
If the frangipani does not develop flowers
If the frangipani does not develop flowers, you may have overdone it with fertilizing. You may only fertilize the plant until the flowering period begins. After that, she no longer receives any fertilizer for four to six months because she needs a long rest. Too many nutrients make the frangipani lazy to bloom.
Premature bud drop
- Too dark location
- too cool
- frequent change of location
- Pest Infestation
If the flowers of the frangipani fall off before they have opened, care or location errors are responsible.
A frangipani needs a lot of light and also tolerates direct sun very well. If it is too dark, no flowers will form. The temperatures at the location must not be lower than 15 degrees - even at night!
The buds will also fall off prematurely if you move the plumeria too often. If possible, find a place where it can stay for a long time.
Tip
When a frangipani blooms for the first time depends on whether it was grown from seeds or cuttings. Offshoots from cuttings often bloom in the first year, while plants propagated from seeds may have to wait up to five years to bloom.
