Hello everyone, let’s talk about plumeria today. Plumeria is a tropical plant that originated in Mexico. The flowers of early horticultural varieties are the same color as eggs, so everyone calls it plumeria. Plumeria flowers have a refreshing fragrance when they bloom and come in many colors. Many of them grow wild in the mountains of southern Yunnan. Today’s focus is on the safflower plumeria, from three aspects:

1. How to grow plumeria

Plumeria likes an environment with high temperature, light, good humidity, and is also tolerant of shade. South can be planted in the yard, it is an arbor and can grow into a big tree. The south balcony at home is suitable for good lighting. It can also be maintained in a scattered light environment, and the flowering frequency will be reduced.

It is not tolerant to low temperatures. Leaves will fall off if the temperature is below 10 degrees, and the trunk will freeze to death if the temperature is below zero. When the temperature returns to 20 degrees, it will sprout and grow leaves again. The most suitable temperature is 20 to 26 degrees. This temperature will bloom frequently and grow quickly.

Water indoors once every 7 days. It’s okay if you don’t water for half a month. I like fertilizer and acidic soil. Give some compound fertilizer for half a month. Add some iron when watering, which can help some fermentation. Good rice water.

Do not allow water to accumulate in the pot soil, as this will cause root rot. Plumeria is very lively, and its branches can take root when inserted into the soil. Its branches are fragile. If you break off a branch, you can propagate it in a pot by yourself. Plumeria flowers that are not in good overwintering condition can be directly thrown outside in the sun to germinate during this season. Water them once a day and spray them with water frequently. Leaves and flowers will grow in a month.

2. The medicinal value of safflower plumeria

Safflower plumeria is an aromatic hydrocarbon plant. Its flowers can extract essential oil through solvents and act on the spleen meridian of the human body. If you are depressed or anxious, you can plant red plumeria flowers on your balcony at home. Its fragrance can refresh your mind. When you are full of energy, your mood will improve. It can make you forget the fragile memories, no longer feel aggrieved, and start over.

If the skin is cracked and the pores on the face are enlarged, you can apply a few drops of essential oil to shrink the pores and make the skin refined. Its aroma is refreshing, like an experienced person discovering a new world and igniting new passions.

3. Feng Shui Application of Red Flower Plumeria

Feng Shui is based on the time and space positioning of the Book of Changes. There are kitchens and bathrooms in the southwest and northeast. You can use the aroma of plumeria to offset the negative effects. For example, poor digestion, potbelly, depression, etc.

The five elements of red plumeria belong to fire. Plant one in the south to enhance the fire attribute, and you will become active, open your heart, and let the bright sunshine shine in.
