Key
w = Water. Soak root-ball thoroughlyto promote vigorous growth.Keep well watered April throughSeptember.
rp/r = Root prune & Repot. Topdressthose not repotted with compost-ed manure to enhance growth.
F = Feed with Stokes TropicalsPlumeria Blend (8-14-10) (Orsubstitute SPh once or twice dur-ing entire year)
SPh = Feed 1/4 cup each SuperPhosphate & Bone Meal for 5-7gal. container.
es = Feed Epsom salt(MgSO4.xH2O). Magnesium(Mg) is the core element ofchlorophyll which makes plantsgreen. Epsom salt may also help
prevent leaf sunburn and promotefeeder root growth. Apply at arate of approximately 1 teaspoonper gallon pot size.
f = Optional feeding, or light applica-tion (Some people do not recom-mend feeding after mid-August).One may substitute a balanced(20-20-20) fertilizer with traceelements for the light feedings toround out the nutrient menu foryour plumeria through the monthof July.
BD = Flower buds begin to appear onmany plumeria.

Notes:
1. This is only a rough guideline.Many people are able to have flowerson some plants as early as March.
2. Be cautious about bringing plantsout of dormancy before the last frost.This may be as late as the end ofMarch in Texas, Louisiana, andFlorida.
3. Be on the lookout for pests anddisease ALL year. Infestations of spi-der mites have been found on dor-mant plants during winter storage in agarage.
4. The blooming season is dependentupon many factors. For example:
a. Variety of plant and age. b. Soil mix. c. Fertilization schedule. d. Light intensity. e. Winter storage methodology
PLUMERIA CARE CHART
Chart is an example for the Houston, Texas / New Orleans, Louisiana areas (Zone 9). Adjust to yourzone by storing 2–3 weeks before first freeze and repotting 2–3 weeks after last freeze.

TESTIMONIAL
I have been doing business with StokesTropicals for over 10 years, and have probablypurchased every item they have for offer, evensome they did not have! Their plants are ofthe highest quality and their packaging is sec-ond to none. All their staff is so helpful andhelp/advice is just a phone call away. I am anavid tropical plant collector, and trust mewhen I say, I have spent thousands with MANYdifferent nurseries, but can honestly say thatNO ONE has come close to Stokes Tropicals,with product, reliability, or customer service. Iam well known in the plant circles, and I willput my name forward for this company.

TESTIMONIAL
I am an avid collector and grower oftropical plants. I have been doing busi-ness with Stokes Tropicals since 1998,purchasing thousands of dollars ofplants from them. Needless to say, Ihave been extremely pleased with theservice, shipping, and quality of plants.Additionally, their staff is most helpfuland very knowledgeable. I have an addi-tional advantage in that, since I live soclose to the nursery, I have been able tovisit it on numerous occasions and seenfirst hand the quality of the facility andmeet personally those employees I haveso often spoken to on the phone. Iwould recommend Stokes to anyonewho has an interest in collecting andgrowing tropical plants.
