Main content introduction: This article covers how to grow frangipani and detailed techniques for cultivating frangipani, as well as related topics about the value of frangipani cultivation. Let's dive into the introduction by the editor.
Frangipani is a tropical plant, originally from Mexico. Early horticultural varieties had flowers that were the same color as eggs, hence the name "frangipani." When frangipani flowers bloom, they emit a refreshing fragrance and come in various colors. There are many wild frangipanis in the southern mountains of Yunnan. Today, we focus on the red frangipani, discussing three aspects:
One, how to grow frangipani
Frangipani thrives in a warm, sunny, and humid environment but can also tolerate shade. In the south, it can be planted in the garden. It is a tree that can grow into a large tree. At home, it is suitable for a sunny southern balcony with scattered light, but the flowering frequency will decrease.
It is not cold-tolerant; below 10 degrees, it will shed leaves, and if the trunk is below freezing, it will freeze to death. When the temperature returns to 20 degrees, it will sprout leaves again. The most suitable temperature range is 20 to 26 degrees, as flowers bloom frequently and grow fast at this temperature.
How to grow frangipani
Indoors, water it once every 7 days, and it will be fine without watering for half a month. It prefers fertilizer and acidic soil. Provide some compound fertilizer every half month and supplement some iron elements when watering, such as with well-fermented rice water.
Do not let the potting soil accumulate water, as it can cause root rot. Frangipani is easy to grow; its branches can take root when inserted into the soil. Its branches are fragile, and if a branch is broken off, it can be propagated by cutting and planting it in a pot. Frangipanis that are not in good condition for overwintering can be placed outside in the sun to sprout, watered once a day, and sprayed with water frequently. In a month, it can grow leaves and bloom.
