The name Bridal Bouquet can refer to a few different plants, but the most common is Plumeria pudica (also known as White Frangipani). It is a tropical shrub or small tree known for its beautiful, waxy white flowers.

Here is a general guide to caring for a Bridal Bouquet plant (Plumeria pudica):

Light

Full Sun: This plant thrives in abundant sunlight. It needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sun per day for the best growth and flowering.
Partial Sun: While it can tolerate some partial shade, it will produce fewer flowers.

Watering

Drought-Tolerant but thrives with regular watering: Bridal Bouquet is considered drought-tolerant once established, but it will grow and flower best with consistent moisture during its active growing season (spring and summer).
Deep and Infrequent: Water deeply and then allow the soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Potted plants: Potted plants may need more frequent watering than those in the ground, especially in hot weather.
Winter dormancy: Reduce or stop watering during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Soil

Well-draining soil is essential: This plant is highly susceptible to root rot, so it’s crucial to use a soil that drains well.
Soil mix: A loamy, rich soil is ideal. You can use a standard potting mix and amend it with something like pumice, perlite, or sand to improve drainage.
pH: The ideal soil pH is between 6.5 and 7.0.

Temperature and Humidity

Tropical plant: Bridal Bouquet thrives in hot, tropical climates with high humidity.
Frost-sensitive: It does not tolerate frost. If you live in a colder climate, it’s best to grow this plant in a container so you can move it indoors during the winter.

Fertilizing

Heavy feeder (in a pot): If your plant is in a pot, it’s a good idea to fertilize it regularly during the growing season to encourage blooms.
High-phosphorus fertilizer: Use a fertilizer that is high in phosphorus to promote flowering. You can apply it once a month during the active growing season (spring through summer). Avoid fertilizers that are high in nitrogen, as this will lead to more foliage and fewer flowers.

Pruning

Maintain shape: Prune to maintain the desired shape and size.
Remove dead leaves: This will enhance its appearance and promote new growth.
Tolerates heavy pruning: The plant can tolerate heavy pruning, but keep in mind that it may not bloom right away afterward.

Common Problems

Pests: Watch for common pests like mealy bugs, scale, and caterpillars.
Diseases: The plant can be susceptible to brown spot and rust fungus.
Yellowing leaves: This is often a sign of overwatering.
