Growing Plumerias with Steve Hampson 

I live in Phoenix and my plumeria started out as a small plant in a pot. I have since planted in ground and the plant is now a 10 ft tree loaded with blossoms Love it.

Steve, you're the best at explaining about the plumerias. Thank you! This was super helpful.

I grow Plumeria in northeast San Diego, both in ground and in pots. Five in pots, two huge trees in the ground for 30+ years; Steve's instructions are exactly what I do for the soil mixes I use in pots. The screen is very important!! Some of the potted ones I have are 3-4 feet tall and are doing great. Nice tip about the liquid soluble fertilizer he mentions, am not familiar with it, must try it! I have been using Alaskan fish liquid fertilizer (diluted - from concentrate). Dr. Earth products ARE terrific. I use them all the time - no burning, and the plants LOVE the Bloom mix! Great video.

First Plumeria looking beautiful! Just went to Kauai & saw Plumeria TREES! Im back in the desert at work, so after selling many baby plumerias…. I bought another one! Thanks again for precise information.🌿👍🏼

I Absolutely adore looking at healthy plant roots...Especially when its root bound 🤗🌿🍃🖤

Thanks for the good information of care for Plumerias!! I'm in Hawaii and I just bought a rooted Plumeria in a baggie.. Im going back to California tomorrow and I can't wait to grow Plumeria in my patio!! ❤︎

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the way you explain all details about the plumerias. Very easy to understand!! God bless❤️

You were helpful Steve Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you very much

Great video, Steve! Lots of good info. Next month I will order 4 cuttings in what's been termed a "package deal", all different colors. Actually, this vendor offers a choice b/t 2 groups of 4 each with your choice of colors in your order. For me, yellow is a MUST, so my group will have the yellow colored ones. I'm watching every video on growing plumerias I can find so I can "hit the ground running" when they arrive and get them off to the best start possible. Thanks for the video and sharing your tips. Happy gardening! 😊

Excellent video very informative, I’ve been growing plumerias for a while but I have learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.👍🏻👍🏻

VERY clear and to the point. great video

Thanks Steve! I work in the garden department and i just bought a plumeria. I need to learn & understand her! Notes taken.

Thank you for your video, I just bought one, and now I know how to take care of it. And the type of soil to use.😊😊😊😊

Your plumererias are short but blooming beautifully ! 👍💖

That was a great video! Thanks for all of the good tips😊 Now, off to plant mine that a friend gave me!

Thank you Steve I am growing plumeria in the UK and they have come up well still learning mind you. thank you for the wonderful tips

WONDERFUL...thanks for sharing!

So much info in a little video. Thanks 🙏

5:30! Omg I KNEW there was a real tool out there! My mom covered her drainage holes with the garden fabroc you use to block weeds. She repurposed it as the drainage holes were too big as soil would fall through. But the fabric works just like your tool!

thank you steve, im good with plants but just bought my first two plumeria cuttings. one is the dark pink i ordered from hawaii and my other one is a mystery generic i bought while grocery shopping😂❤❤ i cant wait to see what color the mystery one is, im excited. i use 20% potting soil and 80% lava rock pebbles. and i got bloom booster and reguler food. your plumerias are gorgeous brother and they bloom while young, very cool!!❤ jessie in austin texas

This was very very helpful thank you! I just got my first Plumeria, after loving it in countries i travelled to so I'm very excited!

Thanks Steve!

Thanks Steve......very helpful

Thxq for sharing I just start plant my Plumeria I love this kind flowers theys r beautiful👍

Thanks, Steve. Nice video - as Maurice said, clear and to the point, and you make it look so easy, which it is! I love that you work with your hands and not gloves, and I never knew about potting screens before! One minor suggestion - the volume on your video comes and goes - I found myself frequently adjusting. No big deal, just something to consider for ease of listening. I'm a new subscriber, and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!

Thanks for the informative video.

thank you for sharing your growing tips for the plumeria I just got one from Hawaii I am very excited ,

Great video Sir!!!

This was very helpful. Rhonda

Nice... am from Indonesia. thank you for your videos!!

Thank you so much! I’ve had my plumeria for years and it never flowered. I tried the Dr. Earth fertilizer and this summer it’s finally blooming!

Thank You ! 👍

Thanks for voicing the varieties names

My grandparents had them on their property in the Philippines beautiful trees.

Very useful thank you!

I have an Aztec Gold Plumeria in bloom for the last month. It smells divine. The scent just comes along on the breeze. What a fragrance and so gorgeous to look at. Thanks for the info on fertilizing ratios.

Thank you, i learned something about the Screen on Bottom as well as the info. you gave. ;)

I use rock dust on my grounded plumerias and wood chips as ground cover along with yard clippings and shredded leaves from my lawnmower.

great video, ty :) frangipanis grow everywhere here in sydney. in the suburbs almost every second house has one planted in the ground and some are huge. looks and smells divine wherever you walk by. looks like you have beautiful weather where you are too :)

Thanks for sharing this informative video! I’d like to try growing a plumeria and your information will help a lot. :)

They're doing very well here in Florida too. I have a few too. Nice video.

Great video, love plumerias, two huge plumerias in ground. Live in a hot, hot climate (Laredo, TX ) so they do fine but I do want some in pots so now i know to use half soil for cactus and l/2 of regular soil. This is the first time I hear of the potting screens. Good to know

Great presentation

Hello Steve, thanks for the great insights. I live in India, and my Plumeria is less than 4 years old, close to 10 ft tall. I haven't repotted it since. As spring is past, I will plan to repot them after monsoon. I use a N-P-K 19-19-19, for all my flowering plants.

Thanks Steve

Good to find a So. cal. Video. All the info I was wanting. Thanks.

❤❤❤❤ love love Rogers Garden

Super helpful as I just propagated a Plumeria. Also very pleasing to the 👀

Loved this video, thank you!

Wow! Thank you. I am ecstatic about the idea that i don't have to go to back to Hawaii to inhale the scent of Plumeria blossoms! (Not that I'd mind going back, but to have a tree or two right outside my bedroom window will be glorious.)

Thank you...............

I found my Planaria in a Dumpster in Austin Tx. I replanted it and now have a 8 foot tree. Now I’m learning how to propagate them. Wish me luck on the 5 new ones I’m trying to grow 🇺🇸

Steve hi! Great video! I bought a cutting from the state fair, planted it in Succulent and cactus soil in September and now the claws are finally starting to uncurl and become leaves. So excited for that. I heard I wasn't supposed to plant it but should've left it in Perlite for the winter. Now I'm worried. I live in MN and was planning on keeping it under a grow light. What do you think?

OMG! Those plumeria are beautiful. I live in Chandler ARizona. I see people plant them on the ground and they do very well. But my plumeria is inside a pot. Now it’s summer and it’s very hot I put them inside the shade the leaves are not so healthy. I had to put them inside where it’s very very bright.

Thank you!

Thank you they have beautiful flowers 🌸

Thanks very helpful

Thank you!!!

Great video, very informative =)

Thank You Mister Hampson.

Frangipani Flower (hoa sứ) is a beautiful flower for Asian women. The frangipani flower tree very big. Leaf around but small and they have flower very smell comfortable, it grow beside or under corner of leaf. The frangipani flower tree is a big wood tree high about 25 to 40 centimeters. Have a nice day with frangipani flower tree!! 😁😁

Thank for sharing

Thank you for the good tips Steve

Thank you..😊

Nice tutorial thanks for sharing

Steve Thank you for your informative video. I would greatly appreciate your advice. I recently repotted my Plumeria for the first time and I had watched RU-vid videos (wish so badly I would of seen yours!) But those videos said to loosen and remove the old soil. I've never done that with any of my regular plants over the years but being new to Plumerias I did what they said. Now my beautiful Plumeria plant is in terrible shock and I feel awful. I'm not sure what to do. Please help.

Love the video. What causes the buds to drop off before fully opening? I purchased 3 and all three have been dropping their buds. Some do open and last a week or so. Am I watering too much. Can you mist between watering. Any helpful tip would be greatly appreciated. Louise

Video was download on youtube 25th, March 2015.

Hi! Thank you for the informational video. I was gifted a potted plumeria tree, which is growing in regular potting soil. I want to repot it with the half Cactus and half potting soil, but how do I get rid of the old soil without disturbing the roots?

Just bought 2 plumerias to put in my front yard, to use as my trees, instead of the usuals in my area. Can u share with me a video on best ways to put them in the ground for growing, what is the best size for them to be before putting them in the ground, if a should layers of soil and fertilizer while filling in with dirt, etc... Sry, i have so many questions. I want my beautiful plants/trees to survive! Ive always been good at gardening so i know i can do this with guidance. Thank u in advance

That's my favorite flower. White color

Hi Steve, I live in San Jose of Northern Ca, do you think I can grow them ? I love Plumerias flowers. Where can I get the trees like that? Thanks Steve

Great plumerias there. I ove the identification you did .I have two plumerias and one is probably samoan fluff or Aztec yellow I just recall it's white and yellow. The other one has pink but I can't really tell. Now I wish it's a Lilyanna and if it isn't . I'll order a Lilyanna to join my collection of frangipani.

Helpful tips for growing Plumeria

Hi Steve, can you share any advice on what to do to protect my potted plumeria? My dog likes to dig in the soil in the pot, I think to look for rocks and stones.

Love the video. I live in Canada and I grow my own Plumerias and they are worth it. I leave mine dry during summer months but I do water until water starts to drip out of the bottom.

Hello, I am a new plumeria grower. I recently bout a three feet tall plumeria from anursery. it is in plastic bag ( 5 gallon in size) do you think i should pot it now.... or wait for spring to pot it. and thanks for very well explained video.

Beautiful

I just bought a small 10inch plant and wondering if I should keep it in larger pot extended period before I plant in ground. I live in houston and will plant in west side of backyard (plenty of sunshine and very hot). Thank you!!

thank you

Will the Plumeria continue to put on new limbs after I remove the stems I want to get as new starts for new plants??

I have heard of some people pruning or clippling the roots when they transplant. My understand was that this is done to promote faster growth...what are your thoughts on this? Would this work well in southern california weather?

Čudovito super. 😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Is there any way to speed up its growth by height. ?

IMPORTANT QUESTION. My plumerias have been very strange lately. The smaller sprouts have browning and yellowing leaves, and the bigger ones have small grey spots on the leaves. a few leaves have teeth-looking indents in the middle part of the leaf. Info: i use rocks and soil as the potting mix, i live in a dry area, and i don't water them too often. What could be going on?

I have had a plumeria for 11 years. It started out as a 12 inch long stick and has grown into a 6 foot plant. I recently moved and when it was transported one of the branches got broken and I believe it is now dead. Should I take it off or leave it. I love this plant and I don’t want to lose it.

Thanks so much for the informative presentation. Any recommendations as to how to these in places like New York, Connecticut? Thanks

Love the ruby star & the rainbow 🌈 all of them actually

Steve wish u had been more specific on fertilizing, how often when it transplanted, when in bloom & when goes dormant in late fall winter. I just transplanted a 4 yr old 5 stalk Plumeria first time & removed some old roots old soil from base b4 I put in new fresh catcus soil w.perlite. U just put Plumeria in new pot without removing old soil. Just curious bc so many Plumeria YT channels recommend removing old soil...

Thank u, what about ground planning

Hi Steve, I have a 8-10 foot plumeria in a pot . I need to repot & would like a recommendation regarding size& material of the pot ,thank you

I just use Cactus soil Miracle grow. They love it and i live in Oro Valley AZ

I have a plumeria plant in a pot and the leaves are turning brown at the ends dropping off. I didn’t know I don’t water in the winter. What can I do to revive it?

How often do you fertilize?

steve you’re dope !

How do effectively control rust on plumeria leaves?

Where can I buy some plants? I love red and yellow.

My plumeria is planted in the ground; looks good & healthy with large leaves. One of the plumeria branches is severely bent over the lawn. Can i dig it up to rearrange it.

With a large enough ceramic pot, can you grow two to three plants in it? or will they compete to much and not grow well??
