Growing Plumerias with Steve Hampson

[@judithpearson8870]

I live in Phoenix and my plumeria started out as a small plant in a pot. I have since planted in ground and the plant is now a 10 ft tree loaded with blossoms Love it.

[@what_kay_says]

Thank you so much! I’ve had my plumeria for years and it never flowered. I tried the Dr. Earth fertilizer and this summer it’s finally blooming!

[@hi_im_cc]

IMPORTANT QUESTION. My plumerias have been very strange lately. The smaller sprouts have browning and yellowing leaves, and the bigger ones have small grey spots on the leaves. a few leaves have teeth-looking indents in the middle part of the leaf. Info: i use rocks and soil as the potting mix, i live in a dry area, and i don't water them too often. What could be going on?

[@sarahkanieski8293]

Steve hi! Great video! I bought a cutting from the state fair, planted it in Succulent and cactus soil in September and now the claws are finally starting to uncurl and become leaves. So excited for that. I heard I wasn't supposed to plant it but should've left it in Perlite for the winter. Now I'm worried. I live in MN and was planning on keeping it under a grow light. What do you think?

Hi dear how are you doing over there ?

[@OceanSwimmer]

I grow Plumeria in northeast San Diego, both in ground and in pots. Five in pots, two huge trees in the ground for 30+ years; Steve's instructions are exactly what I do for the soil mixes I use in pots. The screen is very important!! Some of the potted ones I have are 3-4 feet tall and are doing great. Nice tip about the liquid soluble fertilizer he mentions, am not familiar with it, must try it! I have been using Alaskan fish liquid fertilizer (diluted - from concentrate). Dr. Earth products ARE terrific. I use them all the time - no burning, and the plants LOVE the Bloom mix! Great video.

Thanks, Steve. Nice video - as Maurice said, clear and to the point, and you make it look so easy, which it is! I love that you work with your hands and not gloves, and I never knew about potting screens before! One minor suggestion - the volume on your video comes and goes - I found myself frequently adjusting. No big deal, just something to consider for ease of listening. I'm a new subscriber, and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!

Great video, Steve! Lots of good info. Next month I will order 4 cuttings in what's been termed a "package deal", all different colors. Actually, this vendor offers a choice b/t 2 groups of 4 each with your choice of colors in your order. For me, yellow is a MUST, so my group will have the yellow colored ones. I'm watching every video on growing plumerias I can find so I can "hit the ground running" when they arrive and get them off to the best start possible. Thanks for the video and sharing your tips.

Small pebbles or landscape rocks in bottom work well too allows water to drain out bottom. Plumeria loves hot summer hates wet feet..(overwatering)

Great plumerias there. I ove the identification you did .I have two plumerias and one is probably samoan fluff or Aztec yellow I just recall it's white and yellow. The other one has pink but I can't really tell. Now I wish it's a Lilyanna and if it isn't . I'll order a Lilyanna to join my collection of frangipani.

It’s best not to let them go dormant the best thing to do is keep them above 40 degrees Fahrenheit

[@loisvelez5886]

Thank you, i learned something about the Screen on Bottom as well as the info. you gave. ;)

[@jenniferpuente1692]

Big no no transplanting into a clay pot. The soft sticky roots of the plumeria grab hold to the clay and won't let go so when you transplant from it, it's almost impossible getting it out and if you try, half the roots break.

Please email me photos to; [e-mail] You can add your phone number or email for a reply. I feel like it might be new leaves coming out (possibly with aphid or mite damage) but I'm not certain so it's best to be able to see it. All the best, Suzanne

Hello I have a question. I have three separate Plumaria varieties growing in one 5 gallon pot. Is it OK if they grew like this? They are new cuttings and they just started to grow like a few weeks ago so I think it might still be ok to separate them if need be.

[@Michael-fl7vt]

Tim Wagoner If you do not mind them not growing after a while then yes it is fine. Just make sure to fertilise reqularly as they will absorb nutrients very fast. I have a frangipanni (Plumeria) growing in a small pot, even though it was root bound it still grew to about a metre tall and now I have moved it to a larger pot. Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have some sort of varmint attacking your plumeria but I can not be certain what might be eating the flowers. Slugs, rats and even deer will munch on the blossoms so do your best to make the area inhospitable. Good luck! Suzanne

Good evening, I have one question. I have one plumeria and this year it grew from 25cm to 90cm height. Nice healthy leaves, and now went into dormat phase (no leaves at all, only few small at the top. Since I don't have side branches, but only one main 90cm tall, shall I cut the top? Will it grow side branches, or shall I leave the top, and plumeria will create side branches on its own. I see on the one that you repotted several cuts. I live in Montenegro, so the climate is mild to subtropical with rare to non below 0 celsius degrees, and summers ar going upt to 40 degrees Celsius. If I have to cut the top, shall I do it now in dormant phase? Thank you very much in advance, Danilo.
