| Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum and have really enjoyed reading through the wealth of info here. I live in Palm Springs CA and am putting in a plumeria garden. I'll be bringing in landscape dirt and would like some advice on what kind to use for best drainage and the happiest plumies. Thanks!!! Claire |

| Claire- The sandy soil of Palm Springs is excellent for growing plumerias. Fast draining soils are essential. The only concern is for frost/freeze which can happen periodically in Dec/Jan during early morning. Plumerias do not like 32 degree temps for more than a short time and will rot if too long. If you have full size plants in your neighborhood, you probably are in an area that is safe. Bill |

| Thanks Bill! I DO have big plumies in my area. I am in a very protected area where we don't even get much wind. There is hope!!! |
