Some also have this rural spiritual belief that this plant is inhabited  by nature spirits and fairies and hence young girls and married women must not sit or go near this champa plants. Nowadays we see champa trees in almost all gardens. They are grown for their easy low care and heavenly fragrances. 

The champa plant is always considered sacred and pooja is done  for blessings from mother nature. I love the champa plant  for its beautiful colors  my favorite is the yellow white champa flower as we had a  tree below our home  and childhood fantasies and memories are never forgotten, its fragrance  is more intense, heavenly, the dream of owning one led me to plant two plants of champa and Usually most of the times they are loaded with healthy blooms.

Do try growing champa in container as they require very less watering and care. Trimming the branches is necessary if you are growing this plant in a small garden but this champa can grow freely when planted in soil into a huge champa tree. Don't over water as the plant can take few dry days even during summers. 

Feng shui of the garden improves a lot by fragrant flowering plants and red champa tree or plant though looks great and can take any place in your garden it is best grown in south of your garden to activate the fame and recognition area. Red flowering plants grown in south of your home are very powerful activators of life source energy, wealth and fame. 

The stem of champa plant is mushy and has a high moisture content. requires less watering and care once the plant has rooted well. Champa can be grown from the cuttings easily and you can get cuttings from any gardener or friend. As you cut the branch put positive intentions of request to the plant, apply some mud/soil to the cut part to heal it and then plant it in a fresh container. 

Champa flowers are used in rituals and religious way in temple offerings to God. The champa flowers also have been famous as the girl in Hawaii adorned with a garland of frangipani or an hair piece decorated on the head. Hawaii is best connected with frangipani flowers garlands and hair decorations. Red champa flowers just as fragrant as yellow white champa and of utmost religious sanctity among Hindu religion and many other religions the Champa frangipani has always been considered an important plant to have in ones garden. Not only do the red blooms look great among the dark bright green foliage but they also smell great.

What more you get fully loaded trees so you will never fall short of flowers for any rituals! Also you can put dropped flowers in plate of water to uplift your home environment, a natural air freshener!
