My Plumeria Coming Out Of Dormancy! (1-31-2017) #2
My plumeria was coming out of dormancy! New leaves were already sprouting from the tips. I was giving it a sip of water at this time. Since the leaves are still quite young and small, I was still avoiding going overboard with the watering. I can't wait to see this plumeria in action once again come summertime!
A bit more about plumerias:
Plumerias are tropical trees and are famous for their beautiful flowers which are used to make leis (flower garlands). In regions with colder climates, plumerias are grown in containers and brought indoors during the cold, winter months. In the tropics, some varieties can grow to a height of over 30 feet! The plumeria's waxy, 2-4-inch flowers are very fragrant. Flower colors include pink, red, white, and yellow. I planted my plumeria cutting(s) back in January 7, 2016. I have another smaller cutting (with one leaf already sprouted as well). Can't believe that my plumeria cuttings were already over a year old!
