Go back and re-read my post of May 30. I have owned well over 100 plumeria over the years and this is what I have done for decades. Perhaps I'm just lucky, huh. Here's a couple of pictures I took yesterday of a plant that now is sold. I wouldn't think anyone who grows plumeria would say that it is anything but a spectacular plant. The base is approximately 2" thick, three large tips (branches), and a well-developed stalk loaded with buds. It ships out tomorrow, BARE ROOT.

There is no reason to bring in plumeria, potted or bare-root, when the lows are only in the 50's. They will easily handle 40's and even 30's so long as the lower temperature is only brief. They will begin to go dormant as the temperature gets lower though.
