Hi all

My gorgeous frangipani appears sick.

It is in the ground in sandy soil doesnt drain/absorb all that well against the wall of a house facing NE. Just dug around in the soil and it is very dry.

Last year it bloomed beautifully lots of flowers and kept is leaves late into winter (in fact I don't think it ever didn't have leaves)

Got more foliage as summer started and I was sure I was in for a bumper crop but it never bloomed and despite the heat and my neglect the leaves started wilting.

Then I notice the soft stems. I worried it was rot and was advised to cut the soft stems away but when I did white sap came out. I thought that meant it was healthy.

Can anyone advise what to do? Should I pull it out of the ground and place in a pot?

Happy to add more pics if it helps
