Hi,
I am new to plumeria growing (my only plant is about 2 1/2 years old), live in Alaska, and have a number of trees that I grow indoors year round. One is the plumeria that up until it started to send out its first inflow a couple of months ago, has been in pretty good shape. My experience with other plants, particularly Japanese Maples and Birds of Paradise, has taught me that indoor gardening requires some special considerations. The problem with the plumeria is that the leaves are covered with spots on the surface (but not underneath), spots that seem to be part of the structure of the leaf, and not a covering...plus, the leaves are not the green they used to be...plus, they are curling up and falling off...plus, I would love to know if the inflow looks to be somewhat normal or not...and, finally, there are these white spots on the branches and trunk that don't appear to be insects, but almost appear as drops on the surface. I'm attaching photos, hope they are clear, hope someone can make whatever suggestions might be helpful, and I thank you in advance. Almost forgot...the plant is indoors, has a fluorescent lamp setup that is on (currently on Alaska hours...in the winter, I set it for Hawaiian hours), and the indoor temp varies from 60-75 degrees throughout the year.
Thanks again,
