Category: shrubs
Description:
Plumeria is a tropical plant, perhaps among the most beautiful in the world, famous for its highly scented flowers.. It is also called Frangipani because in the 16th century the Italian nobleman M. Frangipane invented a perfume that recalled the smell of plumeria. In Sicily it is called Pomelia and it is the only place in Europe where it has naturalized.
In India it is called "the temple plant" as it is used to bring it to temples as an offering.. In Hawaii it is used to make garlands and at weddings, while in Thailand it is not grown at home because it is considered a sacred plant.
It is a succulent and very branched shrub, with deciduous leaves up to 30 centimetres long, the flowers are funnel-shaped with an expanded corolla, 4-5 centimetres wide and very fragrant.. It is a very simple plant to care for if the climatic conditions are favourable, in fact it only fears the cold and basal rot.

The sowing
used to obtain new varieties, it should be done in late spring with fresh seeds, the plants thus produced do not flower before 3-4 years; asexual multiplication occurs by semi-woody cuttings in spring, taking care to let the cutting dry for a dozen days, before being buried in a mixture of peat and sand or perlite, fresh and well-drained without overwatering; be careful of the toxic latex that comes out from the cut portion of the branch.
A very important aspect to keep in mind when deciding on the type of propagation to adopt is that multiplication by seed implies genetic variability, so there is no certainty that the plant that will be born will be the same as the mother plant.. Therefore, considering the long waiting period to finally obtain the long-awaited flowering, if you are not sure of the origin of the seed or if you want to obtain a plant identical for example to the one we grow in our garden, it is better to opt for multiplication by cutting.
