Your sitting area looks fantastic !! I love the clay pot I just hope it doesn't become your enemy...From my travels so far in Plumeria World they must have proper drainage ..If you have only 1 main drainage hole in the pot it could retain more water than you want...I have been experimenting with planting media with my Plumeria and have found they like a fast draining media...Bark Perlite and soil...I purchased a bag of Jungle Growth and found it to work very well...I'm rather new to Plumeria but I have 40 plus plants out there telling me I've done something right anyway...Good Luck !!
