If my moisture meter reads moist and the leaves of my plumeria are droopy should I water it?

I have a problem with moisture meters in the past so I stopped using them. Plumeria care, for the most part, is minimal. While plumerias don't like wet feet, they should be watered deeply when irrigated and then allowed to dry out some before watering again.

During extreme Heat waves mine will look kinda droopy too... Figured it's just a matter of lack of humidity & the plant can't keep up with transpiration. I'd water in the evening & by Morning they're back to normal.

My plumeria has black spots on the leaves I just received it and it was like that. Is it a disease? I'm new to gardening so I'm not sure about it!

My plumeria droop when they have too much water and when they are too dry - go figure! Usually though, I can tell by sticking my finger in the soil - if I stick my finger in and I'm even "not sure" that generally means too much water. I wait until mine are bone dry to water, and as a result I sometimes water only once or twice a year!

To be fair - I don't count rain as me watering, and it rains enough that I don't worry too much. I am getting to the point where I can look at my plumeria from 50 feet away and know their "mood" from the leaves.

Princesse, can you post a photo of your Plumeria, showing as well the soil area.

Tarev,yes I can post pictures heres is one droopy and one when she's normal. And the droopy one gets worst as the day goes on. I followed the instructions of my first response and it seem to work. Although she's been in the house for 3 days now for hurricane Dorian. So she didnt get the extreme heat which I think is also affecting her..I might have duplicated my pictures sorry I'm new to this kinda postings:)

@Princesse I wouldn't consider these "Droopy" Matter of fact, they look fine... You can stop worrying

Ok

those leaves do not look like too droopy at all. But I do notice it seems to be under an awning? My Plumies loves our direct sun here, as dry as our area is, it loves it as long as I water everyday since we got lousy humidity levels here. You may want to consider giving it much more sun. Soil looks well draining enough, it should be able to handle any rains or frequent watering plus your humidity there nicely.

it's not under an awning it's in a pool enclosure. It does received full sun:) I probably didnt post the right picture for the droopy leaves.it's more droopy by end of day.i now water it in the evening and it's back to normal in the morning like a poster suggested and also when its dry some. Now my other issue whit it is that it has black spot on the leaves and I'm wondering if it is a disease and if it's the case what is the remedy? My soil is cactus mix and perlite and yes its draing well:) I just received this tree and it was like that whit the spots:( heres a couple of pictures. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would still position it to more full sun, no enclosures, so it can get more airflow all over it. That may also address those black spots. Sometimes it maybe fungal in nature, since you do have higher humidity levels there. It can take all the sun and heat provided it gets watered properly. Very water hungry on its active growing time which is right now.

Ok tarev I'll follow your directions:) I'm starting a plant garden for the birds and butterflies and I'm starting most of my plants by seeds. I might have some questions about that later on when I start in mid September:) I'll post my questions and hope you'll help me:) thanks to everyone for the responses. I'm a beginner and I love it. Just want to be a successful gardener:)

The pool enclosures have a screen that filters out some of the sunlight, It is not ideal for plumeria to be under screens.

It is getting to be time for our plumeria to start shedding some of their leaves in preparation for dormancy so I wouldn't stress too much over their appearance at this time of year.

I'll move her outside:) good information!
