Frangipani or Plumeria really overwinter
Frangipani or Plumeria is a plant that is native to tropical regions. It therefore does not tolerate any frost temperatures. It does not even cope with low plus temperatures. How do you overwinter a frangipani correctly?

Frangipani does not tolerate temperatures below 15 degrees. You must therefore bring him to the house in time to hibernate him properly.
As a winter location, bright entrance areas, cool conservatories and greenhouses are ideal. Humidity should not be too low to avoid pest infestation.
Frangipani needs a break
For the frangipani to gain strength for the formation of new flowers, he needs a long break. It lasts between four and six months. The fact that the plant needs rest can be recognized by the fact that it sheds almost all leaves.
Pour the frangipani significantly less from the end of October. From the end of November you should only give some water when the trunk of Plumeria is already completely wrinkled. Starting in March, start slowly to water the houseplant again.
Do not fertilize a frangipani in winter. The last fertilizer he receives when the flowering starts in the summer. From March, you will give the Plumeria some fertilizer again - but only if you have not repotted the plant before. It is enough if you fertilize the Frangipani at intervals of two weeks.
Tips
If you bring the frangipani out of the winter quarters, first put it in the shade to get used to the bright sun in the open air. Otherwise, the leaves will burn through the sun.
