Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your fragrant plumeria cuttings, especially the ‘Angus Gold’ variety, involves specific steps to ensure successful rooting and vigorous growth. Once rooted, plumerias thrive in warm, sunny conditions. They require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to encourage abundant blooming. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent scorching, but generally, full sun is preferred. For watering, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the rooting phase. Overwatering is a common cause of rot in plumeria cuttings. Once established, water deeply but infrequently, increasing frequency during active growth and blooming periods, and reducing significantly in cooler, dormant months.

The ideal soil for your angus gold plumeria should be well-draining and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0). A good quality potting mix amended with perlite or pumice is excellent for container-grown plants. For in-ground planting, ensure your garden soil drains well; if not, amend with organic matter and sand. Plumerias are tropical plants and are sensitive to cold. They are best suited for USDA Zones 9-11 outdoors year-round. In colder zones, they should be grown in containers and brought indoors when temperatures drop below 40-50°F (4-10°C). Fertilize established plants every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring to fall) with a high-phosphorus fertilizer to promote flowering. Reduce or stop fertilizing during dormancy. Watch out for common pests like spider mites and mealybugs, treating them with insecticidal soap if necessary. Following this plumeria planting guide will help ensure the health and vibrancy of your beautiful plant.
