Plumeria Houseplant?

Brandon, FL(Zone 9b)

Is it possible (especially here in Florida) to grow them as a houseplant?

yeah, they will grow as house plants. will you enjoy the results? NO! then again, it depends on the conditions in the room. is it a sunroom?

FULL length North Facing windows at the car lot... they are tinted (duh..it's FLORIDA) ~LOL~

There is NO direct sunlight (except in a couple of spots...but if the pot is light enough to be moved inside / outside at least, what, 3-4 times a week for direct sunlight, would that be enough for blooms??

i really don't know. you can always try it out. watch out for spider mites.

All my plumerias are potted and occupy the sun room.I cut all the leaves before bringing them as per advise by Dutch. When the leaves start falling it leaves a very sticky substance on the tiles. what a mess!!!

There is also problems with aphids and spider mites but when they go out during summer I just give them a thorough bath with mild soap and they do very well. They are in full sun during summer and my sun room is 4 seasons with 3 wall windows. Here is a picture of my collection. Belle
