A plumeria plant depends on a good water supply to grow well and produce flowers during its growing season. Water is especially important during the hot, summer months, when insufficient water may cause the plant to drop leaves and go into dormancy at the wrong time of year.
The plants grow in shrub format and can reach a height of 30 to 40 feet in their natural environment. Plumeria have succulent branches with fleshy leaves that grow in clusters at the branch tips and bloom in early summer through late fall. Germinating the seeds is inexpensive and an easy, low-maintenance process. Patience is required, as plumeria will not present blooms for 3 to 5 years after seeding.
