The tips of quite a few of my plumerias were knocked off, when the roofers did my house. Being that it was the very tips there was nothing to root. How long will it take these to grow more tips and bloom? They should have bloomed this spring as some I have had years and haven't bloomed. Makes mr really sad.
Is it hurry up and wait all over?? :o(

Sorry about that! New branches will grow in from the nodes just below the breaks, and you could still have flowers this year, but flowering may not occur until mid- to late-summer, I imagine. It just depends upon the growth rate of your cultivars. You may actually get twice as many flowers as you will probably have at least twice as many branches now. Be sure to start a regular fertilizing program, starting with a fertilizer that has a high middle number like most Bloombooster/Bloombuilder fertilizers do. That is what I would do. The first number will help with growth, and the second number will help with blooms. Fertilize weekly once you see the appearance of tiny leaves on the new growth.
It will also help tremendously to mix up a real nice foliar feeding of bloom booster mixed with Spray-n-Grow and some ST as well.
I would spray twice a week till it started showing vigorous recovery from the trimming.
Be sure to do the spraying before 9:00 a.m.,
After this is when certain cells start to close and the benefit wont be as realized.
Tip from Erv & Jack
I have seen the difference!
Where do I find these things? Sounds great?
ST ?
Tony, SuperThrive:-)
Sandy, Home Depot has everything except Spray 'N Grow, which, I think, has to be ordered online.
Great. Thank You.
Blessings,
