Soil Compaction: Aeration Methods for Plumeria Restoring Airflow, Drainage, and Root Health in Hard or Tired Soils Soil compaction is a hidden but common threat to plumeria health. Compacted soil restricts water flow, limits oxygen availability, and physically blocks roots from expanding, leading to yellowing leaves, stunted growth, root rot, and nutrient lockout. Fortunately, there […]

Bark-Based Drainage Mix The Ideal Soil Foundation for Healthy, Rot-Free Plumeria Roots When it comes to growing plumeria—especially in containers or raised beds—drainage is everything. These tropical trees thrive in loose, fast-draining soils and quickly decline in soggy, compact, or moisture-retentive media. A well-balanced bark-based drainage mix is one of the best ways to mimic […]

But for many gardeners—especially those with clay-based or compacted native soil—poor drainage is a constant battle. Heavy soil holds moisture near the root zone, increasing the risk of stem rot, root rot, and […]
