Frangipani and root rot?

I have a frangipani, about 10-12 yrs old and has done quite well in the past but it seems to be dying of root rot does anyone know how to heal this?

Frangipani and root rot?
Is your frangipani on a bit of a hill or mound? If not, you could consider transplanting to a higher spot in your yard or digging a trench aroung the base of it that entends down near the roots and filling that with peat moss, mulch and/or rocks to help with drainage. You should also check to see that there are no old roots left from previous plants as they can contribute to molds. If they are present, clear then away as best as possible and let the area air out before refilling. In the future check an area for those leftover root systems and clean them out before planting. I hope that helps. Good luck!

"Care


Plumerias require at least 1 inch of rain (or equivalent watering) each week. More water may be required for plumerias growing in containers, but don't overwater or the trunks will rot. Feed plants twice a month during the growing season with a high phosphorous fertilizer. Plumerias normally require little pruning, but any shaping should be done in spring. Plumerias are sensitive to cold and should be protected when temperatures dip into the 40Fs. Check periodically for pests such as spider mites, white flies, and mealybugs. Use a horticultural oil or insecticidal soap to control these pests."
