Hi Donna! Congrats on your inflo! Sure, if the weather is still warm where you are and your plumies are rootbound, go ahead and repot to one size up. They are going to take a rest soon in the wintertime so fertilizing this time of year is not recommended. Usually, plumeria growers fertilize regularly from spring to fall, but if it is going to be warm for another month where you are, they should be all right. Will you keep your plumerias growing in a greenhouse, or will you bring them inside for the winter? It is pretty late in the year for flowers, but I think you will see yours blooms if you bring it inside when the temperatures start to dip down into the 40's. I have a few inflo's starting on my plumies too, but they have to stay outside for the winter this year so it is a race to see if they will open before the cold hits. The cold weather may dry them up, or they may just stop progressing and continue progressing next spring. This one, "Intense Rainbow," just opened last night:
