4 month old Plumeria's {Frangipani}

Strange isnt it must be a hormone thing!

Yes why is it there is always 1 that doesnt do well?

one looks more central in the pot the smaller one the other looks to the left , I have always known when planting , plant to the side they take better cause of drainage. are they standing in the same place to gether might be light.too

They do stand together in the greenhouse, but the smaller one just doesnt seem to grow, both get the same amount of light so dont know why the difference is so vast............

I can notice there is more gravel for drainage in the larger plant than the smaller one.

Plumeria grown from seeds are variable...this is one of the reasons why here we almost never plant them from seed...only from cuttings. Many times the seedlings will be very different from the parent tree. Even the flowers can be different in color...which can make it interesting also.

Yes Andy, these 2 have very different leaves, and you can see the difference in the growth rate.......

I am pleased you found out why now lol

Me too Morgana..........

Yes, I can see the difference in the leaves and growth. This Plumeria seems like it may be a red variety. Do you know if this is a red Plumeria? The reason why I ask...is the red plumeria trees need the most intense sun and heat of all the Plumeria colors.

Andy, the leaves on the small one are reddish more so than the other, but Im not sure as the packet just said Rubra mixed species. Ishall just keep trying to chase the sun with them......Lol , but thankyou so much for all the information that you give me on them...I am very grateful for any tips

Milky:

You're so welcome.
