The Science of Frangipani Nutrition

The Plumeria Formula "Phosphate-Rich Bloom Power"

Frangipani as tropical flowering plants have special nutrient needs for optimal bloom formation and fragrance development:

• Phosphorus (P) for bloom formation: Essential for flower development and energy transfer. Phosphorus is the key to abundant bloom formation and intense fragrance development.
• Nitrogen (N) for growth: Promotes leaf growth and formation of new shoots. Balanced nitrogen supply without over-supply.
• Potassium (K) for bloom quality: Strengthens bloom quality and improves fragrance intensity. Potassium is important for resistant plants.
• Iron (Fe) for chlorophyll: Important for chlorophyll formation and prevents iron chlorosis (yellow leaves with green veins).
• Manganese (Mn) for enzyme activity: Activates important enzymes in plant metabolism and supports photosynthesis.
• Trace elements for vitality: Copper, zinc, boron and molybdenum are essential for entire plant metabolism and bloom quality.
• Complex compounds: Specially developed compounds for maximum nutrient availability and fast uptake.
• Tropical plant adaptation: Specially developed for the needs of tropical flowering plants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How often should I fertilize my Frangipani?

Fertilize weekly during growing season (April-October). Take fertilizing break in winter for natural winter dormancy.

Why doesn't my Frangipani bloom?

Common causes are phosphorus deficiency, insufficient light or too young plants. Phosphate-rich fertilizing and full sun location promote blooming.

Is leaf drop in winter normal?

Yes, most Frangipani species drop their leaves in winter. This is natural winter dormancy and completely normal.

Can I use the fertilizer for other tropical plants too?

The fertilizer is specially optimized for Plumerias but can also be used for other flowering tropical plants.

How do I overwinter my Frangipani correctly?

Overwinter bright and warm at 10-15°C. Water little and don't fertilize. Leaf drop is normal.

When can I put my Frangipani outside again?

After last frosts from mid-May. Gradually accustom to sun and start fertilizing.
