N2TORTS and I have a passion for Plumeria. His, he gets to enjoy in real life. I am hoping to get a flower or two, too bloom next year on my one little starter I purchases while in Hawaii in April. So WELCOME to anyone that would like to join in on this thread and talk plumeria, show off your beautiful blooms and trees or ask questions or give advie, this is the spot, join us.
Now, I am looking to see as many pictures of plumeria as I can. I also am looking for any and all advice on keeping this starter I have alive over the cold winters of CHICAGO. I know it can't stay outside. But we don't always have a lot of winter sun. The sun I get, the plant has to sit in the window sill and it's not usually that warm as it's right against the cold glass, as the sun isn't usually that hot/warm. Just so you know my record of over wintering. I have tried, 2 tropical hibiscus, 3 Gardenia, two trees, one bush my other FAVE. , 2 lantana, tree and plant, 3 orchids. I think that's all. They are all gone/dead. All barely made it to spring, but then died. The orchids I was able to keep for several years before the got ugly, few blooms and then died. I really want this to live, I will be crushed if I it doesn't.
