Plumeria won’t survive if their roots are sitting in water. You may not be able to tell by looking because the problem lies under the surface of the soil. Here’s a simple test to check the soil drainage. Try this test in different parts of your landscape to get an idea of where plants will thrive. Dig a hole about 12 inches wide and at least 12 to 18 inches deep. It doesn’t have to be measured precisely for the test to work. Fill the hole with water and let it drain completely. Fill the hole again and measure the depth of the water. Measure the depth every hour for two or three hours. The water level of well-draining soil will drop at least an inch per hour.
