Sizes
There are a vast variety of plumerias, each with unique colors, sizes, and petals.
Best conditions for growth
The plants need a lot of sunlight and well-drained soil to thrive.
Do they require full sun to grow?
Yes, they require full sun to thrive and produce flowers. They need at least six hours of direct sunlight per day, but preferably more. Plumerias grown in areas with less sunlight may still survive but may not bloom as much or produce as vibrant flowers.
Can they be grown in home garden?
These stunners are quite undemanding and easy to grow in the home garden. They make ideal patio plants, typically forming a small tree about 5-15′ tall. Plumeria form an intricate lattice of branches that end with a whorl of 20″ long, glossy green leaves – a lush frame for the radiant clusters of fragrant blooms.
Can they be used in landscaping?
Yes, they are popular in landscaping because of the seemingly endless variety of the color, size, and fragrance of their blossoms.
Scent
Their intoxicating perfume is strongest at night. That is also when its pollinators—moths—emerge.
Are they poisonous?
All parts of this plant yield mildly poisonous alkaloids, which can affect those with sensitive skin. It is advisable not to eat the flower or any parts of this shrub as they may cause skin irritation or mild stomach pain and cramping in some people.
What do they represent?
These flowers represent a new beginning. They symbolize beauty, charm, and grace. Secondly, they represent spring, new life, new beginning, or birth. The plumeria stands for both, creation and recreation.

Can we make medicines from them?
Yes. Plumeria rubra is a traditional folkloric medicinal herb used to treat cardiovascular disorders, made from the flower. The present investigation was methodically planned to investigate the pharmacological foundations for the therapeutic effectiveness of P. rubra in cardiovascular illnesses and its underlying mechanisms.
How much water is required if planted indoors? Indoor plumeria requires watering every 1-2 weeks when the top two inches of soil have completely dried out. By watering plumeria this way, their natural habitat is recreated as closely as possible, and creating a comfortable environment where their roots are protected from rot.
Are they male or female?
Plumeria have both male and female parts on the same plant. Individual plants with flowers having both male and female reproductive parts are called hermaphorditic. This is where a plant pollinates itself, and it is called self-pollination.
