Pink Plumeria Plant: Temple Tree with Beautiful Pink Flowers

Pink Plumeria, widely recognized as the Temple Tree or Champa in India, is a beloved deciduous shrub or small tree celebrated for its stunning floral display and powerful, sweet perfume. Its branches bear clusters of beautiful, waxy pink flowers, often with a yellow or white centre, that fill the air with their intoxicating fragrance, especially as dusk falls. Plumerias are quite resilient once established, thriving in hot, sunny conditions. They are ideal for containers on patios or balconies, or planted directly in the ground in suitable climates, adding a touch of tropical elegance and spiritual calm to any Indian home garden.

Care and Tips

Place your Pink Plumeria in a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for abundant flowering. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to touch, reducing frequency during winter dormancy. Apply balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season (March-October). Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage branching. Protect from frost during winter in cooler regions of India.
