Plumeria are milky sap plants and consists of a lot of species and all belong to Apocynaceae family. For example Plumeria Pudica, Plumeria Alba, Plumeria Obtusa and so on. \u00a0The various species differently in their leaf shape and arrangement and also color of their flowers. There are many common names for this plant like Champa, Nag Champa, Pigeon wood, caterpillar tree, etc.<\/p>\n
You are seeing here two different species of Plumeria<\/p>\n
This one is Plumeria Obtusa with White Flowers \u2013 called White Champa.<\/p>\n
The other one is Plumeria Pudica \u2013 commonly called as Naag Champa – perhaps because of it leaf shape which resembles the hood of a cobra snake.<\/p>\n
Well Now moving on to Care Tips for Plumeria plants.<\/p>\n
Whatever is the species, these are the common care tips for all plumerias. With the proper plumeria plant care, these wonderful tropical plants\u00a0can live for many years in containers.They can grow very tall when grown in ground soil.<\/p>\n
Plumerias like a lot of water during their active growing season (spring and summer), but be careful with overwatering because this can lead to rot and kill the plant.\u00a0 So the best method is to dip you finger to about an inch into the soil and if its dry, then water the plant thoroughly. This depends on you climatic zone and season and also whether you have kept it in full sun. May be you need to water daily or alternate days depending on your climate. One important point to remember is use clay pots and not plastic pots if you are keeping any plant in full direct sunlight.<\/p>\n
For best flowering, keep it in full direct sunlight and maximum sunlight if possible. Or atleast 4 to 6 hours of sunlight is required. And Depending on your climatic zone, some regions might have to shift this indoor in winter season where they go in dormancy period.<\/p>\n
LASTLY ON Plumeria <\/strong>PROPAGATION. They are really easy to propagate from cuttings. The only point you need to remember is, they are milky sap plants. Be little careful with the milk \u2013 it can be a skin irritant to some people. The cutting should be dried for 2- 3 days to form a callous at the cut end and then you can insert it into soil. This roots very easily but sometimes rooting can be very late. Do not discard \u2013 sometimes it can take months before showing signs of rooting or growth as you can see in my case. And You can take any sized cutting and success rate is really good.<\/p>\n
