A tropical favorite renowned for its intoxicating fragrance and beautiful spiral blooms that symbolize peace and devotion.
Description Plumeria, commonly known as Champa or Frangipani, is a beloved small tree featuring thick, succulent grey branches and large, leathery green leaves. It produces stunning clusters of waxy, five-petaled flowers in shades of white, yellow, pink, and vibrant red.
Famous for its sweet, captivating fragrance, this plant is a staple in Indian gardens and temples. It is drought-deciduous, dropping its leaves in winter to reveal an architectural branching structure before blooming again in spring.
Origin & Type Originally native to Central America and the Caribbean, Plumeria has been naturalized in India for centuries. Our specimens are ethically nursery-grown from cuttings of high-blooming cultivars, ensuring vigorous growth.
Care Guide
- Light: Thrives in full direct sunlight (at least 6 hours daily). Sun is essential for abundant blooming.
- Water: Water deeply but allow the soil to dry out completely between sessions. It is highly drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering.
- Soil: Requires excellent drainage. A mix of garden soil, river sand, and organic compost is ideal to prevent root rot.
- Temperature: Loves the intense Indian heat (25°C–40°C). Protect from frost in extreme northern winters.
- Growth Rate: Moderate to fast; easily pruned to maintain a compact bush or trained into a small tree.
Additional Details
- Plant Size: Ships as a well-rooted sapling (approx. 1–2 feet); grows to 10+ feet if unpruned.
- Indoor/Outdoor: Strictly for outdoor gardens, open terraces, or sunny balconies.
- Beginner friendliness: Very low maintenance; hard to kill once established.
- Toxicity: The milky latex sap is toxic and irritating to skin and eyes. Handle with care.
