Hi DiamondD and thank you! Here is a pic with a few of my largest trees. I have a couple of the bigger ones in front too. I'm a renter and have already planted the landscape fairly heavily with other plants so I have my plumerias in containers. I really am not an expert and am just learning as I go like everyone else. Also, what works for one person in one area may not work for another person in another area. Good advice for one climate may be bad advice in another climate so it is important to figure out what works best for you in your climate. Looking at what other growers do in a similar climate as yours can help a lot. I can only pass on what I've learned, but I always reserve the right to be wrong! LOL! Good climate makes a big difference with these trees. If I've learned one thing only is that they do not like to be cold! Cold/wet is a deadly combination. As long as you keep the root zone area warm, you will have no serious trouble at all.

Weegy, it sounds like too much water and too much shade. I would put it in full sun in the warmest spot in your yard and water only when the soil looks dry. Temps could start dropping at night into the 40's so watering less is a priority right now as the soil will dry out more slowly in colder weather. Your plumies could go dormant depending on how cold it gets there at night and your surrounding microclimates.
