About soil condition, frangipani tree like well-drained, fertile soils, and they're also tolerant of poor soils, including those that are sandy, loamy, or clay-based.

Pruning your frangipani tree is important to ensure its health and vigor. While the tree is dormant, prune away any dead or diseased branches. Also, remove any crossing or rubbing branches. heading back the tips of the branches will encourage bushier growth.
Propagation is best done by rooting stem cuttings taken from the tips of branches. Cuttings should be taken from new growth and be 4-6 inches long. Cuttings can be taken any time of year except during the coldest months of winter. The cuttings should be placed in a well-drained potting mix and kept moist until roots have formed. Frangipani can also be propagated by air layering.
Usually, the plant growth rate is rapid during the first few years after planting. After that, the rate begins to decline and eventually levels off. The amount of growth each year is also influenced by the tree's environment, including the amount of sunlight, water and nutrients available.
