5 Fresh Seeds of
Frangipani "Thai Firecracker"
Plumeria
Firecracker is just gorgeous ! A
frangipani flower with very unusual red lines and variations
all over the deep pink unusual flower which radiate from the
red centre like exploding fireworks hence the name
firecracker. Unusual flower and petal shape makes this a
very different & beautiful standout variety.
The Plumeria smells like no
other plant in the world and each colour has its own unique
fragrance. Some plumerias smell sweet, while other
colours can smell like jasmine, peaches or citrus fruits.
Plumeria can be grown anywhere in the world since it can
either be a 4 metre tree if you live in the warmer climates,
or it makes a fantastic potted plant in Western Europe.
The Plumeria only grows to the size of
the pot. Hardy to 12°C
It’s best to add a fertilizer to your
dirt and potting soil when you begin planting. A fertilizer
with a high Phosphorus content works best for Plumeria.
Typically, you should fertilize the Plumeria every two weeks
or more in the Spring and Summer months.
Remember to water the area around the
Plumeria after planting it in the ground, or if you choose
to use a container, use one that has adequate drainage holes
in the bottom to avoid over watering of the plant. Check the
container at least once a week or sooner if the potting soil
becomes dry. The Plumerias planted in the garden seem to do
very well even when the weather becomes drier, but as with
other outdoor plants, watering and other care such as
weeding will tend to keep your plants thriving.
Finally, once the Plumeria plant is growing and blooms are
abundant, you may choose to make a cutting to further
propagate the plant, and this preferably would be in the
spring. You should see a bloom in the next growing season
from the current cutting.
Plumerias are an easy plant to grow with the proper care and
attention, and the beautiful blooms they can produce will
probably hasten your desire to cultivate even more Plumerias
the next year!
The Plumeria is one of the most low
maintenance plants in the world. It is drought tolerant and
can be grown in full sun or partial sun.
If planting outdoors pick an area in
your garden appropriate for planting and to accommodate
adequately the growing Plumeria plant. If you find the
Plumeria is not blooming move the plant into a place in the
garden where there is more direct sunlight on the plant. If
a potted palnt then move the plant pot to an area where it
receives more sunlight.
The characteristics, such as the color
changing and dropping off of the leaves are typical of the
Plumeria and other plants that become dormant in the winter
months. To avoid the yellowing and dropping off of the
leaves in the winter months, you can cut the leaves off
about an inch away from the
stem.
