My Frangipanis must live in containers and be hauled under cover for winter - maybe instead of lamenting that fact, I should be glad... at least it can't get big enough to fill the whole back yard!

I keep My Frangipani tree in a pot in the kitchen. It was flowering everyday. About 3 weeks ago th eleaves started going black at the tip and some coming out black. I think the direct sun my have burnt it. I have now moved it to the other side where there is not much sun? Any suggestions on th eblack leaves and no more flowers?
Thanks Vicky

Vicky, it sounds like a fungus has infiltrated your plumeria. This is highly likely due to being kept indoors and possibly overwatered. My suggestion would be to repot it in some new potting mix (even a new container) and keep everything sterile. Then treat with a fungicide as directed.

Frangipani's don't need too much water and if they're being kept indoors need even less. Let us know how you get on.

My frangipani looks fabulous with lush green huge leaves, but it never flowers. It is in a sunny position against a wall and very protected. I don't do much to it actually. But it looks so healthy.
Please help me to flower.

We live in Florida. Our frangipani was frozen this winter. After a long wait we cut off all the soft portians. Will they come back? If so, what can we do to help then along?
Thak you for your responce.

Our Frangipani was frost bit. The soft parts have been cut off. Can the plants be saved and how.

Hi, I have about 4 grasshoppers eating the leaves on my Plumeria & I would like to know what to do. Can they do major damage? HELP

Thanx,

I have two of these in pots on my pool deck. Within the last month they are getting yellow spots or eggs or something under the leaves. they will not wipe off but turns into yellow dust. how can I treat them

We have the same problem - yellow spots appeared on the leaves in the past few weeks. Was just searching the internet to find out what I can do about it. Would be great if someone could post an answer here or e-mail me. Thanks.

Could you please tell me what was wrong my frangipani leaves that are invaded by some yellow to orange powdery bugs on the back side of the leaves? The leaves then turn brown and brittle and fall off thereafter. Could you please tell me what to do?

I am a Canadian living in Saudi Arabia - obviously desert but beautiful temps now about 35 C during the day. I recently bought a frangipani from the plant market (was in a large pot in sand). It looked beautiful - 4 stems and plently of healthy looking leaves. I planted it straight into the garden which is sand and gave it plently of water. However, 2 days later the leaves have all drooped and tips are turning black. Help - any ideas why? and what should I have done differently, if anything? Tks...

I have the same yellow spots. Any information about what they are and how to treat would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jan

This is my first frangipani, it's in a pot, was doing real good, beautiful flowers and than the leaves got rust color spots and I also have the yellow bugs. Now the leaves are falling off. I live in Orlando Fl. and we have had two nights so far in the high 40's, could this be the reason?

I am in Canada and have frangipani cuttings that are doing well. They are ofcourse iside but I am wondering do I need to chill (not freeze) them a little bit to make them ``hibernate``, because they are warm and are not loosing their leaves.

i have a frangipaine in Exmouth Devon England i have a cutting and have 8 leaves on it.They are doing well am, sad to think they will die.Am hopeing for some flowers eventually.

Our Orange Frangipani Flowers are fading and the new flowers are opening up faded compared with the original flowers. Can you please tell me why and what to do - thank you.

i have some lovely large frangipani plants growing in my back yard - i need to dig them up and plant them into large pots - what is the best way to do this ? what is the best type of soil to plant them in ?

As you may have already discovered, the yellow on the underside of the Frangipani leaves is a fungus. Apparently it is of little consequence, since mine has had it each year for the last 15 years, and it continues to grow and flower every year. Mine originated as wayward branch along a sidewalk in Key West. I did my civic duty and broke off the branch that threatened to poke unsuspecting passers by.

I have several Frangapani plants in my gargen I have noticed that the tips of the plants are soft & looks like it is dying, can you tell me what to do so I don't lose this beautiful plant. I live in Florida, we did have several cold days this winter

ok first let me say i grow and sell these i have started about 400 or so and i also have 4 large ones in my back yard. now for your problems..... first of all the yellow on the back of leaves is a fungus like the other person said and the "dust" one of you saw when you rubbed it were spores. just as the other post said its not to be worried about since it usually will start in the fall and if you live anywhere but the tropics the cold will probrably force it to drop its leaves anyway. now as for the frozen tips this can actually be beneficial to how your plant looks because the plant will usually send out 2 or 3 new shoots to to replace the frozen one making for a fuller more bushy plant. now for the person who said the end of there plant is "soft" this could be a problem,some times frongipani can get an internal infection of sorts. the way you can tell if this is the case is to squeeze the branch with your thumb and finger if it feeles soft and mushy you need to scrape off the bark with your nail if under the bark it is brown and rotten looking you should cut this limb off, just scratch the bark off down the limb with your nail until you get down to part of the branch which is not infected you will know this because instead of brown the part under the bark will be green, this is where you should cut the limb. it should be noted that this isnt always needed since the plant can fight this off on its own but it is still best to "amputate" the limb to minimize the damage to your beloved Frongipani. and lastly to Em and Bill Gammon you two both said you cut your trees "soft parts" if these were infected limbs well done, and yes they should come back fine most likely you will see new shoots come spring, oh and bill dont worry about the grasshoppers unless they are really stripping the plant bare. oh one last thing the guy who said his was growing in sand give that poor plant some proper soil, it may thank you with some blooms ;)

I live in Singapore (Tropical) I have a Frangipani (supposed to be a red flowered one)in a container out side. I have had it for a year but no flowers! It looks healthy lots of leaves has grown new branches etc but no FLOWERS. I have fed it and water it every day or every other day. I do give it lots of water. Help

I live in central Florida and last spring planted 4 frangipani in my garden. They are all in the same area but one is not doing as well as the others. The one only has a couple of leaves on it which it got after I first planted it and nothing since. The other 3 look wonderful with a lot of leaves and new growth. What gives?

Carol Beal in central Florida posted a comment on September 4 that is similar to what I am experiencing. I live in southern Florida on the east coast. I planted 4. Three are thriving and one is only producing a few leaves. It is growing taller, but not producing the beautiful leaves. I've used a spray for flowering shrubs to no avail. What should I do?

Hi. I live in Cyprus and have several Frangipani. Most flowered last year but 2 have no sign of flowering this year. The plants are in large pots and both flowered well last year. Any ideas on what to feed them so that they flower.? Ray

We have a Frangipani in a pot, fingers crossed we don't seem to have any problems with it , but I would like to know what is the bestfood for it and how to care for this beautiful plant and keep it happy. thanking you in anticipation. Ness Mcmanus..

can you cut into a branch to make the plant send out another branch?
