Plumeria Rubra Acutifolia

Plumeria Rubra Acutifolia 🌺 is the frangipani: a tropical tree with thick branches, big glossy leaves and, once it's mature and getting plenty of sun, clusters of very fragrant flowers. It wants as much sun as you can give it, so put it outside in the warm months or in your sunniest window. Water when the soil is dry and use a well-draining mix. Pro tip: it's normal for it to slow down and drop leaves when it gets cool and dark in winter, so water much less then and keep it away from frost 🥶. When it arrives, give it 2-4 weeks to settle in before you repot.

Sold in a 6" pot
