It's going to be a while. Seedlings take 3 - 6 years before they bloom. This is the reason why most people here never plant seeds...we always plant cuttings from people's large trees. :>)

So exotic - something special

Well, we are not all lucky to have Plumeria's in our back yards!!! Believe me, if I come across a Plumeria tree on
Corfu.....I will have a cutting.
The one cutting I do have is all brown now....

It's not so exotic here. They're pretty common. However, it's a very beloved tree here.

Yes, I know...I'm very lucky!
I'm still so surprised that Plumerias are not widely sold at the nurseries there. You have lots of heat in summer (which plumerias love) and mild winters.

Well, I will have five trees in my garden. :o)))))

I can't wait to see how large your trees grow by the end of Fall!
During hot weather Plumeria trees can grow quite quickly...especially when in the ground.

When do you think I should plant them in the ground??? They are still so small....
24 Jun, 2011
Alexandramou:
I think they may still too small. However, if you can protect them from getting too wet or cold during the winter...they'll grow so much faster in the ground. The leaves become very large and it looks much healthier in the ground, than in a pot.
Remember: Plumeria trees are sun-lovers...they should be planted in an area that received almost all day sun. Also, if you're transitioning them from lower light levels to bright sun, they need to be slowly adjusted to the higher light levels or they can possibly burn.

Delonix,
I think I will leave them in pots until next year and then only plant one and see how that goes. I have them sitting on my south facing widow ledge...they are baking and loving it.

Alexandramou:
Yes, Plumeria trees are extremely heat tolerant...especially when grown in the ground. Although, I've had some die in severe Fall heatwaves...when my back wall (which faces south) got so hot it fried my potted plumerias. The ones in the ground will never burn.

I will post another picture in a few months...
You are right, they grow so fast (even in pots).

I look forward to seeing them. Plumeria seedlings will usually grow quickly for the first couple of year...then they slow down, especially if grown in pots.

These are so very exotic.....to us!!

It's a very commonly planted tree/shrub here. It is a very beloved plant and becoming more popular than ever. Almost everyone wants at least a couple of varieties. Some people collect hundreds of varieties.

Really....that many?
6 Jul, 2011
Yes, it's a sickness! LOL! :>)
When I used to belong to the Plumeria Society of San Diego. I used to hear people talking about their yards loaded with hundreds of Plumerias.
