People: “It’s way too hot outside.”
My plumerias: “Turn it up.” ☀️🔥
Plumerias love our long, hot summers. Just give them well-draining soil, at least 6–8 hours of sunshine, and resist the urge to overwater.

Here’s the secret:
If you’re loving them to death with daily watering… they’re filing a complaint.
Plant in a light fast drying mix and feed through the growing season with amendments available through green eco provisions.
That plus Houston heat will give you exotic flowers that do all the bragging.
Containers make winterizing super easy and rewards you with flowers that smell like a Hawaiian vacation.
The best thing about growing plumerias in Houston?
They don’t know they’re supposed to be exotic.
They just think they’re home. 🌺❤️
