💡 Plumeria tip: pot size matters



Keep the container close to the root ball size - oversized pots hold too much moisture and can lead to rot.
Plumerias prefer slightly snug conditions, so let the soil dry a bit between watering and keep them on the drier side.

💮 Bridal Bouquet Plumeria - Plumeria pudica - is evergreen, unlike most plumeiras, that drop leaves in winter. It has vibrant, fiddle-shaped leaves! It's a tropical beauty that stays ornamental even when it's not in bloom.

💮 Plumeria pudica blooms almost non-stop with large clusters of 3"white flowers with small yellow centers, forming a beautiful bouquet on the plant. It's like having your own tropical garden show every day!

💮 Unique Growth Habit: This plumeria is versatile - it can grow as a small tree or as a dense, clumping bush, making it perfect for small yards or patios. The plant can be shaped to fit the space, growing rapidly and upright.

💮 Low Maintenance: Easy to care for and tolerant of drought, Plumeria pudica thrives without the need for special attention. It's resistant to insects and fungus, unlike other plumerias. Simply plant and enjoy!

💮 We have in our collection very interesting variety of Plumeria pudica from Thailand. It has variegated leaves! Plumeria pudica variegata - Snow Bridal Bouquet, or White Arrow Leaf - has variegated leaf margins.

🏖️ Aloha, Backyard Edition 🌈

Sunshine: Look what I can do. It all started with plumerias. Aloha, backyard edition.

Smokey: You are not just planting a tree - you are building a tropical island lifestyle around it. Not bad for staying home.

It usually starts simple. A plumeria in a pot by the patio. The flowers catch your eye first, then the scent follows you, soft but unmistakable. And that scent does something strange - it brings back places you have been, or places you wish you had. Warm evenings, ocean air, tropical vacations that stay with you long after they are over.

That is the part people do not expect. One plant changes how the space feels. But adding a few changes everything. Different colors, slightly different fragrances, layers that build on each other. It stops being a plant and becomes an atmosphere that pulls you outside without thinking.

Plumeria carries that tropical world with it. The same feeling people travel for can live right outside your door. Mix a few varieties, and your backyard starts feeling like a place you never want to leave.
