Repoting and root pruning are optional and are performed as with any other container grown plant. Top-dress by scraping off the loose soil and dried up roots from the first inch of soil in the pot. Replace the removed soil with a mixture of compost and well composted cow manure, but do not pack it in. If desired, there are specialty plumeria foods that can be used as well. Place the plant in a warm and sunny location.
Some people like to sink the container in the ground.
This promotes more vigorous growth, provides support, and prevents it from blowing over. Plumeria tips are fragile and easily snapped off when the plant blows over. Many will bloom before developing leaves, others will not. Once the leaf growth has developed, the summer regimen of care can be followed. As mentioned before, plumeria are heavy feeders.
