Pat, plumerias drop their leaves in wintertime so just remove the leaves as they yellow. New ones will grow back in spring. You can prune the cuttings and root them, but spring is a better time to do that. The warm temperatures help the rooting process. If it is leggy, it probably wasn't getting enough sun. It should be in full sun during the spring and summer. It needs to be protected from frost damage in the winter. Here are some good links to read:

Here is a forum all about plumerias: http://www.mauiplumeriagardens.com/forums/index.php?

Also read about fertilizing at the link above because plumerias need to be fed in order to bloom well.
