Hi. I have a Plumeria plant/tree that is a couple years old. It has grown quite big. I've had to keep it indoors because I live in an apartment so I didn't expect it to bloom. It has done well otherwise. Last winter it lost it's leaves and went dormant.
I moved it away from the window and I didn't water it all winter. In spring, it started showing changes at the tips so I resumed regular care and it came back to life. This year, it lost it's leaves, but I didn't move it fast enough, I guess, and a week later the leaves started coming back. Quickly. Now I don't know whether to continue to water it or what to do. I normally would not be watering it at all until spring. Should I just treat it like it's out of dormancy? I hope I haven't messed up it's system. I can't seem to find that answer anywhere when searching "caring for Plumerias".
I'm so glad I found this forum! Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.
it looks like you have a healthy plumeria. If your temp is now consistently above 50's you can proceed with normal watering. Otherwise wait till you have a set of 6 leaves. Plumeria leaves will droop if it is not getting enough water or moisture. If temps are still below 50s and you are keeping it indoors, just give it a little drink to moisten the soil but not get the soil wet. When in doubt, It is better to keep it on the dry side.
