Hi - I have a beautiful Singapore plumeria, 7 - 8 years old. It has thrived nicely in the San Antonio TX area, and is now a good-sized potted tree which has produced many blooms. We move it into the garage in winter, and keep the lights on at all times, watering sparingly. It goes back out onto the patio as soon as we're confident of the weather. It lost a lot of leaves over the winter but retained quite a few, and it looked pretty good.

The last few weeks, when it was still in the garage, I noticed its (still green) leaves start to *droop*. I mean, REALLY droop. He's now been outside for a couple of days. Weather here is still mild, sun hasn't been very intense. Watered him deeply when he went outside. Leaves have not yet perked up, but so far, none have dropped off. I do see some new leaf growth starting. Fed him a little 20-20-20 fertilizer.

I'm really alarmed at how badly the current leaves are drooping! Could you offer any advice, please?

thanks,

Judy
