I'm having issues with my dwarf plumeria and need help 🙏🏻
I live in Canada and at the end of August an inflo started but by September it was getting too cold at nights so it was brought inside and put into a grow tent with lights and temp control. By October 12th there were over 30+ buds but as they got closer to opening they started falling off, some tiny buds and some days away from opening. The soil is pretty dry and the leaves have also stopped growing. And advise just to see one flower before it goes dormant would be amazing.
The last photo the bud fell off later that day.

Hello,
I have had similar things happen in the past and I have not been able to totally figure it out. If you are inside now with a grow light/tent, then i would keep it watered. (not wet/soggy). I would also check/spray for insects.
Some research indicates Thrips might be feeding on the bud stems killing them off. I would also use a fungicide.
I have had very good luck growing and blooming plumeria (inside and outside) but i have noticed some seem more prone to this than others. (Just an observation). My scott Pratt had two large inflos last year and all eventually died off in the manner you describe. This year it has 4 and i am pampering it and spraying the inflows with a insecticide. So far so good, but they are growing very slowly. This plant also seem to like a lot of water compared to some others. Good luck.

It's such heartbreak when the buds fall off!! Are you keeping your humidity levels up? Sometimes they will fall off when it's very dry.

Hi,
Humidity is always between 55 and 65%. Temp is ~ 67 - 75 . Here is a pic of my Scott Pratt. It has 4 inflows, that look similar in size but they dont get much beyond this point. Instead of the buds growing and getting larger, they tend to slowly dry and drop off. There are other plumeria next to this plant and thier inflos are fine and seem to grow ok. (the last pic)
I did see this on another Celedine during our summer. It was a very warm and wet summer but we also had ample sun. It grew to the point similiar to the SCott Pratt and the buds started dropping....
I'll take any and all suggestions.....
Thank you !

I have to say that some cultivars are more finicky than others and are prone to bud drop, but I've never heard it happening to Celadine which is pretty cast-iron. So I am at a loss... sorry I can't help.
