Hi...
A friend of mine gave me this plumeria cutting she has been tending to for a few months...she had no room for it on her porch and knew I'd do my best to make it a good home.

I'm reading up on how to care for them, because this is my first plumeria plant to grow. She says it's a cutting from a yellow/white plumeria plant. I love plumerias just have never tried to grow them myself before.

I just wanted to post a pic!

I guess my biggest concern is how to tend to this plant in the winter months here...I'm in San Diego CA where the winters don't get very cold (40s at the worst, rarely frost where I live) but sometimes get very wet. This year I've just really gotten into succulents and now this nice tropical plumeria -- I'm wondering if I need to plan on an inside location for all my plants when things get really cold and wet. What do you all do???

Thanks!!
Kim...still a newbie in all this! :)
