Water control is required in winter. Fertilization: Top dressing is required every 15 days during the growing season, and additional phosphorus fertilizer is required before flowering.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Since red plumeria is native to South America, it likes higher temperatures. Specifically, the most suitable temperature is between 20 and 26 degrees. In addition, its cold resistance is not very good. If it is exposed to an environment below 8 degrees for a long time, it will be frozen, so special attention is required.

2. Light: Red plumeria is a positive tree species, which means that it requires higher sunlight. It can also grow in semi-shade conditions, but the growth will be slower. If it is in complete shade, it may grow leggy and produce very few or no flowers at all, thus providing good light.

3. Watering: Red Plumeria likes to be moist. , watering can be based on its growth status. When the growth rate is fast, sufficient water needs to be added to meet its stronger needs. But when it is basically not growing, you can't water it too much.

It will take about three weeks for roots to take root.

2. Repot: The plant grows very fast, so try to repot it once a year. It is better to change in spring. In addition to selecting appropriate soil, a certain amount of base fertilizer such as bone meal must be mixed into it.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment
