What problems should be paid attention to in the maintenance of plumeria in the south and home maintenance in the north?
The flowering period of the plumeria is very long, every spring in April and May, the plumeria grows buds at the top of the bare branches, gradually opening, and different branches also bloom successively, the flowering period runs through the summer, until late autumn, and it lasts forever.

Frangipani flowers, flowers are elegant, the floral fragrance is good, is one of the "five trees and six flowers" in Buddhism, it likes high temperature, light, humidity, is a typical southern flower, so like this flower, how do we maintain it in the north? Today, Xiao Tian will come to discuss with flower friends.
1. Growth environment
Frangipani is very fond of warm and humid growing environment, air humidity to maintain above 50%. However, the northern air is relatively dry, especially in the summer, so it is necessary to often spray water mist around its potting soil or on the leaf surface to improve the air humidity, so that there will be no leaf drying or flower buds, but it is necessary to pay attention to if the leaf surface has water droplets accumulated, it should be wiped clean in time, otherwise the sun will burn the leaf surface too strongly.
The plumeria has poor hardiness, the most suitable temperature for growth is 20-26 °C, and it is susceptible to cold damage for a long time below 8 °C during the wintering period, so the northern potted plants should be moved into the indoor sunny place in mid-to-late October to prevent plants from being frost damaged.
2. Water
The branches of the frangipani are relatively thick and the ability to store water is relatively strong, so it is very drought-tolerant, but drought is not conducive to plant development, and it is poor growth in severe cases; Frangipani is very afraid of waterlogging, and waterlogging is easy to cause root rot.
In the summer and autumn high temperature season, coinciding with the growth and flowering of the frangipani, we must pay attention to checking the dry and wet situation of the potting soil, in order to see the principle of dryness and wetness for watering, watching the potting soil dry, and then watering it at one time. In case of rainy days, the water in the basin should be poured out in time to prevent the root system from rotting.
Frangipani ventilation is very important, we should pay attention to the one-time watering when watering, we must put it into a well-ventilated environment for maintenance, so that the frangipani can continue to flower.
3. Soil distribution
If you want to make the southern flowers in the north well maintained, you must use the slightly acidic soil, so that it can not grow more vigorously, and the frangipani like to dredge the breathable soil, so we can mix the garden soil, peat soil, and river sand in the ratio of 4:4:2 when we are potted, and we can add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer as the base fertilizer, and we must often apply ferrous sulfate in the soil when watering to improve the pH of the soil.
The frangipani grow rapidly, and every spring it is necessary to change the pots in time according to the growth status of the potted plants, update the potting soil, and apply sufficient base fertilizer in order to flourish. When planting, the roots can be slightly exposed to the pot, planted in a cool place, and then moved to a sunny place after 15 days. In the summer, it is exposed to the sun to grow thick branches.
4. Illumination
Frangipani is a positive tree species, although it can grow in a semi-shaded environment, but if it is maintained for a long time in a shaded environment, the branches will grow long, with few flowers or long leaves without flowering, and in the shade and humid environment, the branches will grow air roots.
Therefore, to maintain the frangipani, there must be sufficient light, and it can continue to differentiate and sprout, so that these flower buds can open smoothly.

5. Fertilize
Frangipani is more fertile, and it is necessary to apply flower fertilizer every half a month or so during the season of vigorous growth. In winter, the plant enters a dormant state, and it is necessary to reduce watering, stop fertilizing, and maintain the room temperature at about 10 ° C, which is conducive to the safe overwintering of the frangipani. If dwarfing the plant is required, the trunk can be properly pruned after leaf shedding each winter to promote lateral bud germination.
