Plumeria

[cb977]

I started growing this one from seed 3 yrs ago. Last year, it gave me just one or two blooms but this year it's really happy and has lots of buds still popping up

Smells heavenly!

Way to grow Suzanne I love plumeria. Did a trade a while ago and the piece I got is doing great. Just waiting for it to bloom. I don't have the patience to start from seed.

amazing to have it flower after only 3 years.
must be the excellent cultere by the grower.

Beautiful! The one cane I bought that survived has lots of leaves and I can't wait for those beautiful blooms!!! Do you leave it potted or let it dry out and hibernate in the winter?? (Man, I wish I was in Florida!)

This is one of two that we have potted and got a full dose of being ignored over the winter. We put the pots in a dark corner of the orchid room once we got into a steady less-than-50 degrees-at-night pattern and then brought back outside at the first sign of any green.

There are a few in the ground that get covered on the coldest nights (which doesn't happen very often here) but those aren't showing signs of buds yet...neither is the second one in a pot...but I do have patience when it comes to plants

I've read conflicting things about what to do with a plumeria in the winter. Sounds like I'm going to ignore mine this winter. I want some of those beautiful flowers next year!

Thanks

It's such a nice looking plant. Great growing!!!

Very nice Sue - it must have wonderful fragrance!

Lucky you. Those smell so great and are such a neat looking plant, all rambly and bare until the green leaves poke out in spring. I don't have one, but I did grow one for a friend when she was given it as a gift. I only had it a few months, but was very impressed with how quickly the leaves developed. Great growing!

Is this similar to temple trees flowers. It grows here .they grow up to a large tree and there are big flowers to small flowers,
