Propagation
Take hardwood cuttings during late winter or early spring and allow the ends to dry out before planting.

After planting be careful not to over water as it will cause rot.
Transplants easily, keep dry till wounds heal.

Culture
During the winter months reduce watering and in summer allow the soil to dry out before re-watering. The branches are brittle and the plant requires wind protection.

Generally frangipani is easy to grow requiring a freely draining soil that has added organic material or compost and during summer it requires adequate moisture. It also requires at least half a day`s full sun and a frost free position.

The tree should never be planted outside in regions that have cold wet winters or experience frost particularly in heavy soils as it is susceptible to fungal root rot.
