Flowering Plants
Variegated Plumeria
Plumeria rubra ‘Variegata’
A plumeria that earns its place even out of flower. The long strap leaves are marbled and streaked in cream and pale yellow, so the plant carries interest through the whole growing season rather than only during the flush.
Variegated plumeria is slow and scarce — it is propagated only by cutting, and cuttings from heavily variegated wood strike poorly. Everything we sell is grown on here for at least two seasons after rooting to make sure it is stable.
- Cream and yellow marbled foliage, not just variegated flowers
- Grown on for two seasons after rooting to confirm stability
- Genuinely scarce — cuttings from variegated wood strike poorly

How to look after your Variegated Plumeria
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Full sun for the heaviest flowering — six hours or more. In partial shade you get foliage and few blooms.
- Water
- Deeply twice a week in summer, weekly in winter. Let the top few centimetres dry between waterings.
- Humidity
- Ambient outdoor humidity is fine.
- Soil
- Well-draining garden soil or a loam-based container mix enriched with compost.
- Feeding
- High-phosphorus feed every 3 weeks through the flowering season to keep buds coming.
- Temperature
- 15–45°C. Most are heat-loving; protect from frost.
If something goes wrong
Healthy leaves but no flowers
Why it happens: Too little sun, or a nitrogen-heavy feed.
What to do: Move into full sun and switch to a high-phosphorus feed.
Buds forming then dropping before opening
Why it happens: Irregular watering or a sudden move.
What to do: Water on a steady schedule and leave the plant in one position while it is budding.
Sticky leaves and black sooty film
Why it happens: Aphids or scale, and the mould that grows on their honeydew.
What to do: Spray with neem oil weekly for three weeks, covering the leaf undersides.
