Frangipani or Plumeria is a plant native to tropical regions. It therefore does not tolerate freezing temperatures. She does not even cope with low plus temperatures. How do you overwinter a frangipani correctly?
In winter the frangipani has to be kept indoors
Overwinter frangipani cool and bright
Frangipani does not tolerate temperatures below 15 degrees. You must therefore bring him into the house in good time to overwinter him properly.
- Keep cool but frost-free
- bright location
- water a little at first, then not at all
- do not fertilize
- Water slowly and fertilize again from spring
Bright entrance areas, cool conservatories and greenhouses are suitable as a location in winter.(72.95€) The humidity should not be too low to avoid pest infestation.
Frangipani needs a rest
In order for the frangipani to gather strength to form new flowers, it needs a long rest period. It lasts between four and six months. You can tell that the plant needs rest by the fact that it sheds almost all its leaves.
Water the frangipani significantly less from the end of October. From the end of November you should only give a little water when the trunk of the plumeria is already wrinkled. From March, slowly start watering the houseplant again.
You must not fertilize a frangipani in winter at all. He receives the last fertilizer when flowering begins in summer. From March you give the Plumeria some fertilizer again - but only if you have not repotted the plant before. It is enough if you fertilize the frangipani at intervals of two weeks.
tips
If you bring the frangipani out of winter quarters, first put it in the shade to get used to the bright sun outside. Otherwise, the leaves will burn from the sun's rays.
