r/Plumeria

I have a group of these little guys keeping the bugs off my plumeria. In turn they get the honeydew as a treat.

Currently tending to about 20 plumeria seedlings. All are doing well and have finally moved outside. Most are over 7” tall now. Mix of leggy and branched out. I might post pictures of them later! It was a total surprise to find the seed pod on one of my Plumeria trees last year considering i’m in 6B!!

This one has my favorite form. I really interested in attempting bonsai with her. Does anyone have any tips or research they can share?

My plumerias are blooming! The leaves took a few falls with the wind and have been burned. Any tips to make more leaves and have them look really green?

I was hoping for some advice on how to get my plant to grow more. After dormancy, this is where I am stuck. I fertilize once a week. It gets full sun. I am in So Cal. What else can I do?

Y’all are gonna get sick of me by the end of the summer, but I have the wildest growth on my biggest tree. I got this about 7 years ago from my MIL. It was about this size 4 years ago, but if you notice the center, the large top branches were unfortunately knocked off by a bocce ball during an intense match in the yard. No biggie, just cleaned the break and sealed it. 4 years later the big 4 branches have matured, so I thought it time to prop it. Cut two right around the old break and planted those and they’re thriving. The branch that I had to chop down because of some winter rot is thriving with 8 new branches, which will be fun to see how they fight for space. The interesting part, I had to trim a small side branch on the top of the tallest branch, and now it’s sprouting multiple branches below the tip. I’ve been growing Plums for 9 years and have never seen anything like this! I’ll make this my last post until they are more mature.

Side note, the woman who hit my tree is a dear friend and she felt terrible. I cleaned up the break on that as well and put it back in the dirt. 3 years later it was nice and big and healthy. So when my friend moved into her new house, I gifted her a Plumeria (it’s kinda my thing and she always wanted one)… which just so happened to be the branch she knocked off 3 years prior. We all had happy tears.

My plumeria is in a pot so I was able to keep it from freezing, but it is less than a year old...and this is my first flower! Smells awesome!

This guy has a great shape. I have a bunch of weird uglies, but this one is very symmetrical. No idea what color. Ill post flower pics later this season.

Love this color which blends the yellow and the pink of my other.

Wondering what kind of soil mix to plant this starter into.

Will I grow a branch in the Middle split or will my plumeria grow angled?

I already purchased a 40W bulb for here in PNW.

Something a little different is coming soon.

Crested “Great Wall” Plumeria specimens — each developing its own unique sculptural form through natural fasciation.

Cresting (fasciation) in Plumeria is a naturally occurring and relatively rare growth mutation where the growing tip becomes flattened or fan-shaped instead of forming a normal branch. These unusual plants are highly sought after by collectors for their sculptural growth and unpredictable growth habits over time

Rooted (grafted), established, and grown here in South Florida by The Potted Plumeria Nursery. 🌺

I cant stop smelling it, its so nice like a fancy tropical perfume (probably because plumeria is what they’re trying to imitate in many of those perfumes lol). I love being able to smell a real plumeria so far north (PNW), I’m in love with this first inflorescence!

Found at HEB at Fry & 99, 1463 and Grand Parkway & 723
Many had inflows!

He has grown the first couple of years with the house shading him around 2pm. But it’s getting so tall now this will be its first summer where it will get direct sun at the top until 4-5pm. Will it continue with our heat? Or is it going to die back to the shade?

I dont know what variety it is, it was gifted to me.
