The right soil for Plumeria (Frangipani)
Plumeria is extremely sensitive to waterlogging and too much nutrients in the substrate. The soil for Frangipanis must therefore have certain properties, so that the plant thrives well. So the earth should be for Plumeria.
Plumeria does not tolerate waterlogging
The most important criterion for choosing the earth for Frangipanis is permeability. The roots of Plumeria tolerate no waterlogging. If the substrate is too moist or even standing wet, the plant rots and enters.
Therefore, always put a drainage layer of pebbles in the pot. Maintain Plumeria on the terrace or balcony in the summer, without coasters and planters, so that rainwater can run off.
Buy Plumeria Earth from a specialist retailer
There is now special soil for Frangipanis in well-stocked garden retailers. Mix some charcoal underneath. This prevents fungal spores from spreading in the substrate.
Put plumeria earth together yourself
Experienced gardeners compose the earth for Plumeria himself. For this the following materials are needed:
From the cat litter, mix a handful under the substrate. This will prevent the earth from becoming too moist.
Substrate for the propagation of Plumeria
If you want to grow Plumeria out of seeds, use coconut fibers or potting soil mixed with sand.
You can also sow Frangipani in a Keypack. The bag is filled with Perlite.
Tips
When repotting Plumeria, look for the right pot size. The bigger the pot, the better the roots can develop. Clay pots are not well suited because the sensitive roots attach themselves.
