Give frangipani as much bright, direct sun as possible, water deeply only once the soil has dried out, and plant it in a very free-draining, sandy or gritty mix. It tolerates heat and short dry spells well but resents soggy roots, so err on the side of underwatering, especially during winter dormancy.
