How to Care for the Plant

Water
While plumerias don't like wet feet, they should be watered deeply when irrigated and then allowed to dry out some before watering again. They also need to be fertilized about every two to three weeks throughout their active growing season.
Pruning
Get rid of damaged leaves and stems. This is important because damaged leaves and stems can actually be an energy drain on your plant. By removing those dead parts, you're taking some of that work off your plant’s plate and allowing it to divert its energy into healthy leaves and new growth!
Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a 10-10-10 formula.

Sunlight
Needs 6-8 hours of direct sun / partial shade per day.
Soil
Loamy soil, a relatively even mix of sand, silt, and clay, feels fine-textured and slightly damp. It has ideal characteristics for gardening, lawns, and shrubs. Loamy soil has great structure, adequate drainage, is moisture-retaining, full of nutrients, easily cultivated and it warms up quickly in spring, but doesn't dry out quickly in summer.
Temperature
Plumeria are very sensitive to cold, which is why they’re so great to grow during the summer. Make sure you protect yours when the temperatures drop into the 30F’s.
