Thanks guys! :>)
I hope I can get this plant to bloom this year. It's been a few years since I've seen flowers on it. It so desperately needs to be put into the ground.

I showed my mom these three pictures today....she loves the Plumeria's. I gave her a seedling last year but she didn't really know what to expect. I'm sure she's going to give it a lot of tlc now.

That's great! I hope it blooms for her soon! :>)

Thanks, Milky! This Plumeria is desperately wanting to go into the ground. It's been in this pot for almost 10 years.

Ah, that's good...10 years in a pot. How big is this pot?

I've had plumerias in pots for more than 20 years.
This plumeria is in a 10 gallon terra cotta pot. Large plumerias need a lot of nutrients and fertilizer. Unfortunately, the pot is not big enough.

This is great news....there is no way I am planting my Plumeria in the garden. (not after this winter).

Plumerias will usually stay pretty small in pots. What's nice is, the smaller the pot, the smaller the plant will stay (in most cases).

How low of a temp can they tolerate? They will be living in a sunny unheated room next winter.....in their new pots. Just outside of this door will be my Plumeria collection....now that's an idea, I have five different types. Oh Plumeria heaven....;o)))

Plumerias do not tolerate freezing temps. The cell tissues will burst and develop freeze damage at or below freezing.
With the above being said: if the temp is freezing and the plant is in a very protected area, it should survive. This is true if the temp doesn't stay at or below freezing for a long time. Hope this helps! :>)
