Plumerias usually continual to flower?

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

I started the year with three branches and they flowered. Where they flowered turned into 4 more branches a piece and now each one is about to flower again. Will this flower in doors??? It's getting a little to cold out for a plumeria and the original idea was to let it go dormant outside then put it in the garage until I make take some cuttings off of it. Now I'm not sure what to do? I could probably find room in the house but I don't think it will get enough sun light to bloom??? Any ideas what to do??

I had that problem last year. An inflo developed in the fall .. I kept the plant in the greenhouse and watered sparingly .. it bloomed in late Spring.

I have 12 branches that have inflos on them. Problem is it's gotten to big, maybe I'll drag it in the garage and plant it in the ground next spring. I wanted to make cuttings of it because it has grown to a size that's to big to handle. Don't know what to do. Not sure if I have room in the garage.

Why not cut off just a few branches and root them? The inflo will probably fall off or die though.

Seems like a waste to me to have the inflos fall off since they're all set to go.

Yeah, but makes it easier to store.

I had inflos on one that I left out all last year, in a protected spot, and the inflo hung on and it bloomed this past spring.
The only reason to cut one off would be if you were trying to root a cutting - you wouldn't want any strength going to the flower instead of growing roots.

I was surprised the one on mine survived since it got into the upper 30's in the greenhouse at night .. I think if you just let it go dormant it should be ok.
