Frangipani (Plumeria) Transplant: Survival Likely, Bloom May Delay 1 Year

Your 5-year-old frangipani (Plumeria) was moved carefully with maximum roots saved. It will likely survive. Bloom may skip this year, but will return next year.

Post-Move Care

1. Rest 1 month — no fertilizer, minimal water
2. Then fertilize: High-phosphorus bloom formula (water-soluble = fast uptake)
3. Epsom salts: 1.5 cups around entire root zone (magnesium sulfate triggers blooming)

Critical Water Warning

• NO sprinkler head nearby — constant wet = root rot
• Water only when soil dry several inches
• Established frangipani are drought-tolerant

If No Blooms This Year

Don't panic. Transplant shock often delays flowering 1 season. It will bloom gloriously next year.

Your careful root-saving gives it the best possible chance.
