Bare Root Plumeria When you receive a bare root plumeria it is important to plant it immediately. Re-potting a Bare Root Plumeria: Carefully unwrap the roots from the packaging (for example damp moss in a plastic baggie). The roots are VERY fragile so be careful. If the roots are tightly balled, slightly trim the ends roots so they are more like to grow out into the new soil than into a ball. Spray the roots with a diluted SuperThrive solution. Pot in good draining potting soil. Leave the plant in the shade for about a week while it acclimates to its new surroundings. Place the pot in a warm sunny location and get ready to watch it grow. In cooler locations, warming the bottom of the pot with a heating pad will promote root development. Water plumeria plants once a week or when the soil becomes dry. For the first year, use a good general-purpose fertilizer, like Miracle-Gro or Bill's. Your primary goal should be developing healthy roots and NOT about flowers.
