Hello,
I have a plumeria I brought from hawaii as cutting for several years. It is growing but it is comming only in one branch and very tall and actually pretty thin. Should I cut it and try to grow it as new one from the cutting or just repot it(it was repotted few moths ago). I am afraid to cut it since it is not having any other branches and I do not want to kill it. what is the best I can do?
thank very much
Michal

To branch out, it normally blooms first and then develops branches so: make sure it is getting more than 6 hours of direct sun, has sufficient but not too much water during the growing season and use a fertilizer with a high P in the NPK ratio like 10-30-10 or 10-50-10.

Your picture is indoors, is that where the plant lives? It is very hard to get a plant to flower indoors. They won't branch until they grow an inflo which creates flowers. If it is indoors I doubt it will ever flower. Everything Luis said is the best advice you can get, 6 hours sun, 10-30-10 fertilizer, let dry out between waterings. It looks healthy but if it is an indoor plant the odds are against you.
Good luck.😎

Thanks for your advices a lot Smiling nope, it is most of the time living on the balcony where there is a lot of sun during the day. I just repotted it today, but taking the whole soil ball as it was in the previous pot so it should not do any harm probably.
I bough a fetilizer today, but maximum I could found was NPK 476(it it mostly for catuses). But I also took another one that is only phosphor based(17% of P2O5). I would send a links but those are only in Slovak/Czech so they would not mean much. I will try to combine them both together very carefully
this is how it looks together with my other plants on the balcony now( btw I live in Slovakia)
