Culture: Plumeria rubra acutifolia need at least 4 hour of direct sunlight per day with intermediate temperatures. We use a soil mix consisting of 2 parts loam to 1 part peat moss to 2 parts sand. The soil should be allowed to dry in-between waterings. The plants are fertilized every other week with a 15-30-15 fertilizer. In September fertilizer applications cease to allow the plants to harden off for the winter. In the winter the plants are kept at 50° F (10° C) and will lose their leaves. During this time water very sparingly so the roots don't rot from staying wet.
Propagation: Plumeria rubra acutifolia are propagated by cuttings or by seed. Cuttings can be taken from February to May. Cuttings 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm) long should be allowed to form callus about 10 days before potting in a well-drained soil mix. The use of rooting hormones is a must. Do not keep the soil mix excessively wet or the cuttings will rot. Seeds are sown in a well-drained soil mix and will germinate in 14-21 days.
