Repotting is very stressful for Plumeria
Do not repot frangipani too often
Frangipani or Plumeria makes some demands on the garden friend. Only if care and location are optimal, many fragrant flowers show up. If the plant is under stress because you repot it too soon or too often, it quickly becomes apparent. Tips to repot.
When is it time to repot frangipani?
Frangipani does not grow so quickly that the old pot needs to be replaced every year. Repotting is only necessary when the whole planter is completely rooted. In younger plants, this is the case after three years, in older ones only after five years. If you spill it more often, there is a risk that the leaves will deform.
The best time to repot is the early spring. You can still use Frangipani in the spring. Only during the rest period you should not repot Plumeria. They would disturb the flowering.
The new pot
The substrate must be well permeable to water so that no waterlogging can occur. It should be nutritious and have a pH of seven.
How to make Frangipani?
Take the frangipani out of the old pot and shake off the used substrate. Cut the roots back by a quarter. This promotes the growth of frangipani.
Place the Plumeria in the prepared pot and gently squeeze the fresh substrate. Water the plant well. After repotting, you should not expose Frangipani to the blazing sun again. If you take care of the plant outside, you get used to the light by the hour.
If you want to grow offshoots from the frangipani, now is the best time to cut cuttings.
Do not fertilize immediately after repotting
If you have transplanted frangipani you must not fertilize the plant for several months. The new soil contains enough nutrients to ensure nutrient supply. When over-fertilized, Plumeria becomes lazy.
Tips
If the frangipani loses its leaves in August, this is a sign that the plant is resting. Plumeria is then less cast and no longer fertilized.
