haha! okay, just trying to jog your memory. : )

you can start them at anytime! here is the thing though. you need to supply them with heat and light and obviously nutrients if conditions are not ideal outside. yeah, it's winter outside but my plumeria don't really know that. actually, they might be a tad confused. soil temps are 80º or higher because they are on the heat mat. however, air temp is in the 60s. they don't get direct sunlight. only light from a north facing window and a supposed plant light that is on from 4p - 3a.

this is what i was telling you regarding your plumeria that is in the house. it might be frigid outside but you can set up conditions for your plants inside that will keep them growing.

i am getting new leaves on the plumeria that are on the heat mat. i have a attached a pic showing the set-up (partially). pic was actually to show someone the paper whites that were grown entirely in the house. even the coconut palm in the corner is pushing out a new leaf.
