I am an inexperienced plumeria keeper. But for the past few summers I have had some luck with them on my porch.
The picture is one I kept in my guest room for the winter with very little water. It broke dormancy several weeks ago and the new growth tips are deformed!!! The new leaves look okay. So far I have held back on watering it very much to keep it from growing too fast now. I won't be able to move it outside for about a month.
Any experienced growers know what is happening to my plant? Is there anything I can or should do about it? Or just let it grow?
Thanks in advance.
