Cheaper, but you will need to work on it. Look for a brightly lit position and warmth. Good air circulation and the ability to open the plants to the great outdoors during summer is ideal. Look for the smaller growing varieties for indoors. Frangipani will need pruning if grown indoors, however they do take well to pruning.

Outdoors

Probably not worth the effort. You would need a very sunny aspect, protection from cold winds and the ability to cover then up in winter.

You will need to monitor moisture and fertilizer, well drained moist soil, that is allowed to dry a fair bit between waterings. General purpose slow release fertilizer in spring and again in summer.
