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.
Thanks Clare im a newbie at plumeria and bananas so im still learning Im happy your getting on this thread because you sure have some nice plants. I did get a plant from brads bud and blooms he is shipping it out today in fact. Thanks again So will the banana fuel be fine for these plumerias ? Thats what I have been giving them.
