Fertilizing Plumeria
Just a note to everyone -- although the Plumeria101 web site has been around a long time and has some helpful information, there is advice on this web site which is not good advice according to many experienced and knowledgeable plumeria growers. For example, the bloom booster fertilizers with the high middle number was once thought to increase blooms and was pushed by the commercial industry; however, phosphorus does not leach well from the soil and can actually build up and be very bad for plants over time. A competing line of thought is that the last number, potassium, is the best element for blooming. Overall, most experts will tell you that even numbers of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are best such as 13-13-13, etc.

Additionally, the Plumeria101 site recommends the pea gravel on top, which I already explained the hazards of above to Jarred. Just FYI.
