Ok I posted in another forum forgetting the name of the plant .
Once ID'd ( I received it from a friend last week and forgot the name. ) We got to the issue at hand.

Is my Plumeria sick?
I had noticed that the leaves were turning black at the tip
and at the base where the new leaves were coming up.

I really couldn't get a good pic with my camera, but someone provided me with a link
to a site that showed what black tip looked like and how to treat it.

In my opinion It seems to be black tip, to the others in the thread they seem to think not.

Here's what i have:

The tips of several leaves turned black and fell off.
only one left and its tip is black.
i have some new grow coming in and it seems to be speckled with black
spots.
The woody stem of the plant is very mushy and soft. ( it wasn't a week ago )

new to this plant and would like some assistance.
if anyone needs better pic's i can try to get better ones ,
but heres what i did take so far.
