Brought in to ovrwinter, but it still has buds! what to do?

Peachtree City, GA(Zone 7b)

This is my first year with Plumeria. I have read the stickys (great info, thanks all) and they were brought in a few days ago before the 27 degree morning. The coldest they had felt is about 45.

The one in this picture that has buds is in its second bloom.
Will all these buds fall off before the bloom? :(

The are in my dining room.

This picture is the other one that has not bloomed at all yet, but looks like it was getting ready.
Do I have to do anything special because of the buds, or almost buds?
I was going to leave them in the dining room and then after they lost all their leaves, put them in the spare bedroom.

They dont get much light in either place.

Thanks,
chris

Hey Chris,
Most likely they will all fall off because of the lack of light. Plumeria need a lot of heat and light to bloom properly. You may get the first few to do their thing, but in my experience an indoor plumeria with low light does not bloom well, or at all.

oh well, would have looked nice for Thanksgiving.

There are plenty of people in your area who keep their plumeria going throughout the winter with grow lights. I would investigate it. You could have blooms at Christmas!!
