How do I care for my Plumerias?

Just to let you know that newspaper holds the moisture. That is why I recommend to put it into the hole before planting tomatoes. This avoids tomato from cracking since the newspaper acts as a mulch. If you have any coffee filters, this is good to use in the bottom of pots. It drains properly and holds back the dirt from seeping out of the holes. Keep your plants in a place where the winds are not too strong and it is not hot or else your plants may suffer shock from the sudden change. Place them in a shady area for a day or so and cover them if it cold and keep your eye on them.

Thanks so much, I was told here by a few people on Hometalk that I should use the newspaper, so I have planted 9 of my Pulmerias already using this method. As they are in pots, I have never

given them loads of water. Most people water them once a week real good. I just spray very

lightly every other day or so never giving them a soaking. The paper I put in was not a thick

bunch but just two layers. So hopefully they will be o.k. now. My patio is sunny in the a.m. and

becomes shady around 10:30 11 a.m. so they get enough sun. I live in Calif. and they seem to

thrive here, we just had 7 days of rain and I knew that would be way too much for them in the

pots as I had some rocks in the bottoms but needed bigger ones. Hopefully they will continue

to grow well as they have in the past.

Thanks for taking time to answer me. I think if I had ground space it would be a no brainer but

with them in pots Just want to make sure they thrive.

I grow Plumerias also. Mine are in pots. I use cactus soil with rocks in the bottom of the pots (for drainage & weight ) Just let them dry out for a day or two and place in the pots. You should be fine. Hope this was helpful
