I hear ya Rashell, I'm doing the same over here. We are supposed to have 70 ish degree weather all week, so that is a good thing! Nights may get down in 50's but that is okay.

Hey, you 2! How are the plumeria's doing? I have put mine outside (and the temps dropped to the 40's at nite!), and I've stared at it so long I THINK the buds on the leaf nodes are swelling! How about yours?

the only leaves I had on the tall one (red plumeria) are gone. it looks as if I'm getting new leaves on the small one (yellow/white) but the tree has tricked me before!

The yellow/white plumeria is the one I bought the same day I bought my mother-in-law one. I have pix in my album of my purty blooms!

The small one is straight only it looks weird 'cause I had to turn the image. Anyway, I brought out all my plants yesterday. If they don't show me some leaves soon I'm getting rid of the trees.

I wonder if we can use the "cane cuttings" to grow new ones? Maybe I'll try it if the trees don't show me some leaves!

Rashell, your plumeria are dormant. They will return, to not fret!

Hi Carolyn!
My large potted plumeria is coming out of dormancy and showing new signs of growth (new leaves) Here's a pic I took around the 28th of March.

I transplanted 3 plummies I had in ceramic pots to the ground recently. Here's a pic.

I must say I was pleased in keeping my plumeria outdoors, although I did have to cover them quite often when the temps dipped down to 40ish. I'm going to keep my large one in the same pot again this year. I'm curious as to how the 3 little ones will do inground. Will keep yall posted. Rashell let us hear from you as well with your success of your plumerias!

Pink, mine doesn't have leaves, yet, but it is definitely budding. I've been to 2 garden shows where there has been PLENTY of them, and everyone says just cut a piece off and root it-they root very easy. I can't wait!!!!
