Plumeria, Frangipani, Nosegay, Pagoda Tree, Temple Flower 'Treasure Isle'

This plant is awesome...but does not like sub-freezing temperatures AT ALL.
I had a plumeria in the ground in Galveston, Texas (Z...Read Moreone 9a?)
Anyrate, it's in a protected courtyard and did fine for MOST of the winter...but a single icy blast from the North killed this plant to the ground.
With some TLC, I've managed to revive a new green shoot springing from the original plant.
Definitely needs frost protection in areas where that is a possibility!

I have had a plumeria growing for about three years in Phoenix in a pot and think it may be time to put in slightly larger pot. I have on...Read Morely see it bloom once and flowers were white with yellow centers I believe.

My question is what kind of fertilizer to use to encourage booming and any soil conditioning needed when I repot? I let the plant go dormant in the winter for almost 3 months and it always surprises me when it comes back.

The tag on the pot called it a 'Hawaiian Temple Tree' plant. I will have to keep it indoors during the winter, as our temperatures can drop below freezing -- last year was particularly tough on plants as we had temperatures in the teens...that had been very rare in previous years. Right now, it looks like there are buds on the plant. I bought the plant a suitably tropical looking container. I am excitedly awaiting the blooms and hope that I can keep this tropical beauty alive and well for years to come.
