    Hi all,

    My wife bought this plant from focus, i keep it in the conservatory and have been faithful by watering it. Over the past month it has grown quite a bit, the only problem is, i don't even know what type of plant it is and how i should look after it.

    I have looked at the pot and it needs re-potting.

    i presume this is an indoor plant, can anybody help or give me any tips

    Kind regards

    Andemz

    I really don't know, it has never flowered and i've had it for a year. It has a look of a plumeria but i don't know, i've searched google for plumeria and it doesn't really look like one of those.

    Any more suggestions

    I have that plant. Ibought it a couple of years ago so I don't remember the exact name, however it was something like..."Hawaiian tree..." It seems to do better outside in a sheltered location, facing southeast; keep in mind this is dry area near Los Angeles - temp from low 30s in winter to 100s in summer. Yes, it does have flowers. They appeared around December, and they are beautiful: reminds you of a burst of white tiny stars. I keep the plant moist, not soggy. Feed it occasionally with Miracle Growth Plenty of light and only the very first rays of sun in the mornings.
    It does better in a clay pot.
    Hope this helps.
