It doesn't look broken.... so I would just re-stake it.
We had high winds here too and I had to pick a few plumies up....

good! do you think the roots are hurt?

These plants are pretty resilient. I think it should be fine.
To minimize stress you could take the leaves off.... it might help it recover faster and also won't weigh it down so much.

Nah, they're tough cookies! If the potting soil show some gaps, fill it in with more potting media. Good to go. Mine fall over occasionally. I stood them back up, and they're good to go....so to speak. lol

BTW; it's beautiful where you're!

oh thanks for the info.... the land really is beautiful, but all these transplanted non-natives (people, not plants)..... i could move again and be totally apathetic!

ACK!! If that were a brug, it would have broken in half in a heartbeat. Good to know these things are so resilient!! Looks like it's doing the limbo and kinda got stuck. :) And, I'd do the same as the others, maybe get rid of some of the larger, bottom leaves and restake it.

lol i plan on leaving it out until it goes dormant and drops the leaves, so that shouldnt be but a few more weeks til it starts to drop... all the plumies get plunged at my house!

I'm with everybody else. Pick it back up, re-stake it, and it should take off. I have had a few taller ones do the same thing, I just picked them up and watched them grow. They never skipped a beat.

The plumeria I bought looks just like your pic, except that it grew into that form. I think I tore some roots when I tried to straighten out a crooked plumeria with a stake. Been watching it for a few days now and it looks okay. Good to know that they're pretty resilient.
