Off course being in the UK, a bit of intermittent wet weather is always just round the corner. But, do remember that a bit of rain will do your garden the power of good and will help keep the temperature up, especially at night, which is excellent news for your Plumeria. It's particularly beneficial as the daily growing cycle of a Plumeria is based around absorbing sun and light in the day, which is then used to achieve growth overnight. As mentioned above, this can be further enhanced by adding a few drops of Superthrive to your watering regime and a morning misting of Leafdew Plumeria Mist, both of which will help get your Plumeria up and running all the quicker

Being pro-active and getting maximum sunshine on to your Plumeria really is the name of the game. Just work out where those best spots are at different times of the day and move your Plumeria into them accordingly. A morning and afternoon position is all you really need and don't forget the evenings, as the suns setting rays can be particularly invigorating for a growing Plumeria. But, whilst all this extra sun will work wonders, do keep a close eye out for any unwelcome visitors. Red Spider Mite are a real curse and just love sucking all the life out of Plumeria leaves, undoing all your good work. So at the first signs, just reach for some of our Leafguard Plumeria Insecticide and zap them just like we do

As usual, talk of "Droughts" and "Hosepipe Bans" is starting to surface, but thankfully my Plumeria like most of yours will be inside and not really a drain on our water resources. Off course Plumeria are not exactly unfamiliar to drought conditions, but you still need to make sure your soil, positioning and watering regime are evenly balanced to avoid stop / start growth. Our Water Monitors and Water, Soil & Daylight Analysers are a great solution for this, as they give you an accurate reading of you Plumerias environment, telling you exactly when water, soil balancing or better positioning is required

Now you've probably already got an abundance of leaves on your Plumeria, so now is the time to adjust its feed to promote blooming.

Off course nothing will guarantee blooms, but the extra boost that our Hawaiian Super Bloomer provides is ideal for kick starting the process and putting your Plumeria straight into blooming mode
