I have new cuttings that rooted this year. The leaves get to a certain size and then turn yellow. I am in zone 7 Asheville NC. I have them outdoors in full morning sun please see photo. I also bought a larger plant with a fluorescence. How much longer might it take for buds to open.? Many thanks,
Kate

It is best to start a new thread on the plumeria forum itself instead of under a picture in the database.

Hi Mykate88, Welcome!

Here's the link to the Plumeria Forum: https://garden.org/forums/view... If you scroll all the way to the bottom of that page, you can start a thread and upload your photos and many members will be able to offer advice and suggestions.

I'm not a Plumeria expert and I don't actually grow them anymore because I don't have enough sun but I'd say the two plants in your first photo are in dire need of a good watering. The soil looks extremely dry.

The plant in your second photo does indeed appear to be forming an inflorescence but I don't know how long before the blooms will appear. When I grew Plumeria outdoors in containers here in Florida, it sometimes took a month or more from that stage before I got blooms. I'm not sure if different cultural conditions would cause them to mature sooner or not. Since you are in zone 7a, you will have to move your plants to a protected indoor area over winter or they will not survive.
