How to grow red frangipani? Detailed guide to cultivation methods and precautions

Judging by its name, many people think it is a relatively short flower, but in fact it is a small tree that can reach 5 m in height. Red frangipani is also called red-flowered frangipani, and there is also the very similar yellow frangipani; they belong to the same plant, just with different flower colors. They originally grew in tropical and subtropical regions, so how should we grow them in daily life? And what should we pay attention to during cultivation?

Sunlight

It likes abundant sunlight, but it can also be placed in a spot without light for a short time. Abundant sunlight will make it grow more robust and lush, and the floral fragrance will also become stronger, with the number of flowers increasing. Even in summer, there is no need for shading.

Temperature

Between 23°C and 30°C is best. If the temperature drops below 23°C, it will enter dormancy, and leaf drop will occur; this condition will continue until April of the following year. In winter, the lowest temperature must not be lower than 7°C, otherwise it cannot overwinter healthily.

Water

Although it likes to live in a humid environment, it is also drought-tolerant. So when watering, the state of the potting soil should be the standard; when the surface of the potting soil is somewhat dry, you can water. At this time, the deeper soil is actually still slightly moist. When watering, water thoroughly at one time, but waterlogging is strictly prohibited. If there is rainy weather, pause watering, and for outdoor planting, also pay attention to drainage.
