Frangipani - common diseases
Frangipani is not easy to clean. As soon as care or location is not correct, diseases occur - more often than with other indoor plants. Which diseases do you need to watch out for and how can you prevent them?
Plumeria diseases mostly due to care mistakes
Most diseases of the Frangipani are caused by improper care or an unfavorable location. Sometimes, the transmission of germs by unclean garden tools leads to illnesses.
Fungal diseases of the plumeria
Fungal infections occur predominantly if you pour the frangipani too well. It does not tolerate waterlogging and must be watered very sparingly in winter.
Mushroom disease can cause very different symptoms. Be alert when the trunk or leaves appear to soften. Often, colored dots appear on the leaves.
If the plumeria is attacked by fungi, it usually remains only to radically cut back to remove already diseased shoots. If the root is affected, you can usually no longer save the frangipani.
leaf burn
The leaves suffer from burns when you bring the Frangipani from the winter quarters and put directly into the sun. Slowly accustom the plant to the bright sunlight.
Deformed leaves due to frequent repotting
If the leaves are deformed, you probably have repotted the Plumeria too soon or too often. Frangipani is placed in a new pot only every three to five years, so that the plant does not suffer too much from stress.
Premature bud drop
If the buds fall off before opening, the frangipani may be too dark. Even a frequent change of location can cause the bud waste. In addition, examine the plant for pests.
If the Plumeria has become lazy, you have fertilized them too well. Frangipani must only be fertilized until the onset of flowering and needs a rest period of four to six months in winter.
Leaf fall in the fall is not a disease
If the frangipani sheds its leaves in the fall, it is not a sign of illness. The plant then goes into the resting phase. Next year, the leaves will go out again.
Tips
Frangipani is often visited by pests. Always treat spider mite, lice and whitefly infestations immediately to prevent the plant from entering.
