Hey mate, I know this is an old video but I appreciate it none the less. Still one of very few on this plant amazingly enough. This is one of my favorite both when blooming and when dormant and looking like a child tried to make a plant from clay but ran out of time.
Love the video, thank you. I have two plumeria one of which is 1.7m tall and currently outside and flowering beautifully. I’ll bring them into the kitchen in the winter but quite often get Mealy bugs (at least I think that’s what the fluffy white things are) how can I get rid of them?
I’m not sure if humidity has much to do with longer blooming time. We had our Plumeria trees growing in the middle of Saudi Arabia desert in our garden and it bloomed like crazy and they bloomed for a long while! Perhaps it has to do with intensity of the sunlight?!
I found your channel through another video of yours, but I very much appreciate this one! I got my plumeria during the summer and I mistakenly put it outside one day, thinking that it loves 90+ degrees Fahrenheit and 12% humidity 😭 I was wrong (actually I forgot I left it out and it spent probably an hour too long out there haha). Some leaves burned. I then kept it indoors directly under a bright/warm grow light, next to 50% humidity, and it took a while to bounce back, but it eventually pushed out more leaves... until spider mites started attacking it, so now the leaves are not fully "flat" out and emerging leaves look curly and deformed. The new growth seem to have stopped growing as well, probably due to the cooler weather. Anyway, I might repot it and then treat the spider mites properly. Sorry for the rant, but you've gained a subscriber! 😆
Oh wow. You let yours dry and they don't freak and drop all their leaves? Mine sure will lol. I think it gets around 2 gallons a day in spring/summer. But i also grow things different. Whatever makes your plants happy in your area right?
Which soil do you recommend for a plumeria that’s over a year old? Also, are you in the UK? Just to have an idea as you said you give 2 gallons of water in spring/summer. Thanks in advance!
Very useful - thanks! My two plants haven’t yet bloomed but have put on a lot of vegetative growth this year. Both been infested with spider mites on and off. Both not really getting enough light. I’m planning to buy some spotlights to help them out next year. And yeah both completely defoliate over winter. I’m probably a bit more northerly than you so it’s to be expected. Looking forward to some actual blooms next year! Last chance saloon…🤞
Hi mate, love your video, I have one of these and it’s now December, I’ve moved it away from the window cill and to the kitchen in a bright spot so it’s warmer, the leaves are a yellow/brown and I only water it when it starts to wilt slightly to not risk over watering it, are the leaves turning this colour because of the low levels of light in the UK this time of year and the colder temperatures?
My plumeria and my adeniums are still growing, but i had to move everything indoors. They all dropped their leaves, and grew them back in about a month or 2.
Looks good, but I'd go ahead and give it some rich soil, or at least more fertilizer and water. Mine always grow best in good soil rather than something that fast draining. They are super heavy feeders.
I used to live in Greece I am now living in the UK, ironically enough in Greece this can happy grow outdoors year round. here I give it might brightest window, and it gets the same light as my cacti

Im so glad you shared this! Plumeria is my favorite flower and a friend just gifted me one and Im not entirely sure how to care for it!💚
The weather looks like fresher ;) ! Nice video ,thanks :):)

I remember these plants from my trip to Greece!

I have a lot of Blumes indoor. But it’s on full Sun side in Germany NRW

No problem at all yeah light is the big thing with these. Hopefully next year the blooms will be plentiful 🤞🤞🤞

Do you live in Greece? I live in the UK and I find it hard to grow plumerias as not much sunlight in this country 😞

They definitely prefer to be outdoors with plenty of heat and sun. 6-8 hours.
Please link the fertilizer
I imagine the plant will consider me a pest.
