{"product_id":"plumeria-10-bag-wht","title":"Plumeria White - 10\" Grow bag","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlumeria rubra, the fragrant frangipani or champa, is a small deciduous tree prized for its intensely perfumed, waxy flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow and white. Spiral clusters of blooms top thick, sculptural branches from spring through monsoon, while the bold leaves drop in cooler months. Easy to grow and remarkably drought-tolerant once established, Plumeria thrives in Indian heat and sun, making it a favourite for temples, courtyards and large containers. Its sweet evening fragrance and tropical form bring instant character to gardens. Tolerant of poor soils and neglect, it rewards minimal care with abundant scented flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApocynaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCentral America and Mexico\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-6 m as tree\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-5 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge, deciduous, drops in cool\/dry season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed, pink, yellow, white and bicolours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring to monsoon (warm months)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical to subtropical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun, 6+ hours daily for best flowering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater deeply but infrequently; let soil dry between\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSandy, fast-draining soil; avoid waterlogging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoves 25-38°C; protect from frost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTolerates low to moderate humidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-phosphorus bloom feed in growing season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrune in late winter to shape and remove deadwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 2-3 years; likes being slightly potbound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy from hardwood cuttings cured then rooted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlumeria rust, spider mites and scale possible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMilky sap is toxic and irritates skin and eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA signature specimen for courtyards, temples and large pots, prized for fragrant flowers used in garlands and offerings.

Cuttings root readily after curing the cut end for a few days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I water Plumeria?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater deeply but let the soil dry out between waterings. Reduce sharply in winter dormancy, as overwatering causes root and stem rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much sun does Plumeria need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs full sun, at least 6 hours daily, to bloom well. In shade it grows weakly and produces few or no flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Plumeria safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe milky sap is toxic and irritating if eaten, so keep pets and children from chewing leaves, stems or flowers; wash skin after contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I repot Plumeria?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepot every 2-3 years before the growing season. It tolerates being slightly potbound, which can even encourage flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate Plumeria?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut a 30-45 cm hardwood branch, let the end dry and callus for several days, then plant in dry sandy mix and water sparingly until rooted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is my Plumeria not flowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsufficient sun, too much nitrogen, or a young plant are common causes. Give full sun and a high-phosphorus bloom fertiliser in the warm season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are there orange spots under the leaves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is plumeria rust, a fungal disease. Remove affected leaves, improve air circulation, and apply a suitable fungicide if it spreads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan Plumeria grow in pots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it grows well in large, free-draining containers and is easy to move indoors or under cover during cold or heavy monsoon spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Plumeria sap dangerous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe white sap can irritate skin and eyes and is toxic if ingested. Wear gloves when pruning and avoid contact with the milky latex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat fertiliser helps Plumeria bloom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a high-phosphorus, low-nitrogen bloom fertiliser every 2-3 weeks during active growth; stop feeding as the plant enters winter dormancy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51049081176310,"sku":"PLT-PLUMERIA-B10-WHT","price":100.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-g-plumeria-champa-singapore-dwarfwhitepink-plant1-682253.jpg?v=1782711827","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/plumeria-10-bag-wht","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
