As to sunlight, well I think someone has simply just turned the power off! But thankfully there is no need to worry as our Natural Daylight Bulbs do allow you to simply turn it back on. Their safe, economical, very easy to use and enable you to have your Plumeria bathing in glorious daylight for up to 12 hours per day, regardless of what the weathers doing

Likewise, bottom heat is also essential to keep an active Plumeria thriving. Once they sense the cold, they just stop growing, drop their leaves and hibernate. Using one of our thermostatically controlled Plumeria Warmers to provide direct bottom heat is an excellent way to avoid this and ensures your Plumeria stays warm as toast all winter long. I know it seems obvious, but believe me a bit of extra light and heat can really make all the difference between keeping your Plumeria growing strongly or having it slip slowly into hibernation

If your Plumeria is hibernating, then the amount of light it gets doesn't really matter too much, thou please don't forget it completely, as some general care is still needed. Try to get into a routine, say once every two weeks, off checking the soil for dryness and removing any dead leaves that may still be hanging on. Half a cupful of warm water with a few added drops of SuperThrive, once a month will stop your Plumerias roots drying out and ensure they continue to be nourished while the rest of the Plumeria peacefully slumbers

SuperThrive is also a great all round tonic for an active Plumeria and combines really well with our Hawaiian Super Bloomer and Leafdew Plumeria Mist. With spring only a few short months away, ensuring your Plumeria is fully fed in readiness for this will pay dividends in the long run. Do be sensible thou, as too much feed will do no good and overwatering will transform your Plumerias cosy pot into a marshland. So, If in doubt use one of our Water Monitors or Water, Soil and Daylight Analysers to work out when water is required and try and stick to the suggested feed doses
