Hey folks this the cajun old man again, I had my first inflo, on one of my new cutting I just started to root last month, It has a inflo, but now it's dropping it's buds before it blooms, why's that?? Should I cut the inflo off ? It's a 6" cutting!!!

That is very common, unfortunately. I don't know the reason, but it's frequently happened to me. I'm sorry. I know how hard that is when you've been looking forward to the blooms. My dog has knocked blooms off the day before they were to open. That hurts too.

A 6" New cutting could not possibly support the energy needed to Bloom... I would let Nature take it's course and keep your fingers crossed the cutting is attempting to root...

Yes, as hard as it is to do, cut off the inflo so the cutting can work on rooting instead of blooming for now.

I agree it is the hardest thing to do but when you're trying to root, it's better to not have the inflo draining energy from the cutting.

My plumeria seems to be doing okay but I see some inflows drying up. Why does that happen?

Thrips? or too much direct Sun on new/tender inflo's?

Depends. Are these late developing inflos from last season? Or newly forming inflos from this season? If from last season, sometimes they abort if they are too far into development. If they are new, it could be a pest problem or a direct sun problem. Do you spray them with water when you water your plants? I avoid doing this as well.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
