Frangipani / Plumeria Repotting

When can I repot seedlings?

Seedlings can be repotted as soon as they have their first 4 true leaves. The first two seed leaves do not count as leaves! Choose a larger pot for seedlings so that they won’t need to be repotted again for the next 2 – 3 years.

When should I / can I repot?

You can repot your Plumerias from May until the end of September. Ideally, you should start after the first fresh leaves have emerged.

Which pot should I choose?

Choose a pot that is significantly larger than the current pot. It should be made of plastic (with ceramic pots, there is a risk that roots may adhere to the pot and could be damaged during repotting). Choose a dark pot, as it can store solar heat better than a light pot.

What should I consider when repotting?

When repotting mature plants, you should remove one-third of the old roots. Similar to cutting a cake, simply cut out 1/3 like a piece of cake.

Can I fertilize immediately after repotting?

Of course, you can fertilize your Frangipani immediately after repotting, but please with a somewhat reduced dose. After 3 – 4 weeks, you can normalize the fertilization again.

When should I give adult plants new soil?

You should renew the soil of your Frangipani every 5 – 7 years.
