Good afternoon,
Hello new friends! Newb here! Just stumbled across this forum while searching for an answer that I could not find about my plumeria. First things first. I started my cutting about 2 years ago, we are just finishing up the 2nd winter going into 3rd year of growing. This has been 100% an inside plant, sitting in my window with faces south, with no light supplementation. I am not informed enough if my plant can go outside in the summer time. I live in 8b (Seattle, WA) Can I leave it outside day and night in the summer time?
I have also read Plumerias usually bloom in their 3rd year or can take up to 3 years to produce flowers. So this year I have bought a 40w LED grow light to hang over it if it cannot go outside. I really don't want this to die before I see flowers
. Last year it grew rather lanky and tall and the leaves were not compact like I see in most pictures, but they were large and nice and green. I fertilized about every other week with BR61 9-58-8. I am guessing between fertilizer and lack of sun it was stretching for more light?? See attached.
To recap :
Can I put it outside day and night in the summer time and not have to worry too much?
Did I fertilize too much last year and it cause it to grow fast and look for more light?
When should I start waking up my plumeria?
Thanks for the insight
Chris
