5 striking variegated plumerias you can’t ignore. Soil tip 🌈

Variegated plumerias are a whole different level - not just flowers, but foliage that steals the show even when the plant is not in bloom. This batch feels rare, collectible, and a little addictive… once you see them, it’s hard to stop at just one.

🌸 Today's featured plumerias


  •  ✦ Plumeria Pink Border Leaf Variegated - silver-green leaves with dark pink veins and a distinct pink edge, often deepening in new growth. Bright red flowers add strong contrast.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Golden Leaf - grown as much for its glowing golden foliage as for its soft yellow flowers with creamy edges. One of those varieties that stands out even without blooms.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Anyamanee Yellow Variegated - bright yellow flowers paired with dark green leaves streaked in yellow, creating a bold, high-contrast look. The Thai name means rare jewel, and it fits perfectly.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Maya Red Variegated - rich red-pink flowers with variegated leaves touched by reddish tones, giving the whole plant a warm, layered look. Fragrant and very eye-catching.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Silver Leaf Variegated - silvery variegated foliage paired with soft yellow blooms, creating a clean, elegant contrast. A collectible type that feels a bit different from typical plumerias.


💡 Plumeria tip: soil and drainage



Plumerias hate wet feet. Give them a fast-draining, airy mix so roots can breathe - think chunky soil with perlite, bark, and coconut fiber. A simple formula that works very well is Sunshine Abundance soilless formula mixed 50/50 with coarse sand - it drains quickly and keeps roots healthy and rot-free.

Adenium rainbow - warm, bright, and full of energy

Adenium Phoenix

Adenium Phoenix

Adenium rainbow - warm, bright, and full of energy 🌈

Some adeniums feel calm. And some feel like sunshine!
This set is all about warm orange tones - bright, happy, and hard to overlook. These are the ones that light up a bench even on a cloudy day.


💡 Rainy summer tip


In places like Florida, summer rain can be too much for adeniums.
They are succulents - Desert Roses they are! - and don’t like staying wet for long periods. Constant rain keeps the soil saturated, which can lead to root rot and weak growth.
If you have a rainy season, it’s best to keep them under a roof or covered area.
This helps control watering, keeps the soil from staying soggy, and protects the caudex and roots.
They still need bright light - just not endless rain.

🌸 Today's featured adeniums

  •  ✦ Phoenix: Color-changing blooms that shift from soft yellow to pink and coral - looks like a living sunset on one plant.
  •  ✦ Pra Rod Mary: Warm orange shades with a soft, rounded bloom.
  •  ✦ Pratum Thong: Golden-orange color with a rich, glowing look.
  •  ✦ Som Term Sab: Bright, lively tones - name tied to wealth and good fortune.
  •  ✦ One Heart: Balanced form with warm color and a clean structure.
  •  ✦ Thong Nuekao: Golden shades with a slightly deeper, more refined tone.

Orange adeniums bring a different kind of energy - warm, glowing, and full of life.
And once you add a few - your collection starts to feel a lot brighter!

Some adeniums go bold, and some stay soft and classic.
This set is all about pink - from light and delicate to rich and bright. Simple at first glance, but full of subtle differences once you look closer.


💡 Growing from seed vs grafted Adeniums



You can grow adeniums from seeds, and it’s the only way to get that naturally swollen caudex from the start.
Seedlings develop a nice base, but they take time - usually 2–3 years before blooming.
There’s also a catch: seed-grown plants don’t come true to type. Most will turn into simple pink flowers, no matter what the parent looked like.
That’s why named varieties are grafted. A selected variety is grafted onto a seed-grown plant with a developed caudex - so you get both the shape and the exact flower you want.

🌸 Today's featured adeniums

  •  ✦ Uncle Tu: Soft pink tones with a clean, balanced bloom.
  •  ✦ Leela: Gentle pink shades with a refined, elegant look.
  •  ✦ Ploy Nappan: Named like a jewel - layered pink tones with depth.
  •  ✦ Pratuma: Classic pink form with a smooth, rounded shape.
  •  ✦ Snow White: Very light, almost white bloom with a soft pink touch.
  •  ✦ Talab Phet: Richer pink with a slightly deeper, more intense tone.

Pink may look simple - but once you line them up like this, you realize how different each one really is.
And somehow, there’s always room for one more pink!
