Plumeria, also known as Plumerias

Plumeria requires full sunlight and thrives in well-draining soil, making it an excellent choice for bright gardens. A special care point is its sensitivity to cold; plumeria must be protected from frost and low temperatures. Ensuring moderate watering with a keen eye to avoid over-watering is essential to maintain healthy growth.
