Comparing Plumeria varieties — notes from growing several

I've grown several varieties within the Plumeria family and have some observations to share. dramatic large leaves or flowers that create an instant impact varies noticeably between them, more than catalogue descriptions suggest. The care fundamentals are shared — providing high humidity through pebble trays or regular misting applies across all of them.

spider mite infestations in hot dry conditions affects some more than others, particularly in adverse conditions. I grow mine in a bathroom with high natural light and steam humidity which works well for most varieties. bringing back indoors before first autumn frost is the clearest moment of differentiation between varieties — that's when the character of each comes through. Worth growing a few side by side if you have the space.
