Plumeria prefers well-draining soil with good aeration. A sandy loam or a mix of potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand is suitable for potted Plumeria. In the ground, the soil should be well-draining and enriched with organic matter. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain excess water, as they can lead to root rot.
