Default Re: A Plumeria Thread

As mentioned in prior posts, I leave my plumeria in the basement over the winter. Some are in pots still; the ones that were planted in the ground are bare root. I never have had any growth over the winter as they go dormant. In the very early spring they start to show red on the growing tip and wake up. This winter, however, the potted plumies are still growing- putting out new leaves and even showing inflorescences! No water, light from one high window only. Weird.
