Hi Sujan,

It's in a 12" pot.  I just used a prepackaged houseplant mix.  I don't
recall which one. I've used different mixes depending on what I find
when I need more (which I do fairly often, I have > 100 houseplants,
some quite large).  The plumeria has been in the same pot (and same
potting mix) for about 2 years.  It is somewhat potbound.  I don't know
why this plumeria has bloomed and another one I bought at the same time
and grown under the same conditions has not.  I'm just enjoying the
blooms.  There are 3 open now, another about to open, and MANY buds of
varying sizes.

Bonnie
