My new plumies are doing great except the inflo seems to be drying up. Did I do something wrong? I got these cuttings from a co-op a few months ago.
Thanks for your help! Sorry if the pics are blurry

Well I did have an inflo... what happened?
Here is a pic of the 2 cuttings...
They do look really good. Lots of new growth. Your soil looks REALLY dry but that is from my house LOL Are you really that dry? Sometimes inflos just give up. I had one from the coop that produced one flower and it was done.
Wow.. it does look dry in the picture... yikes! I water every other day and go by the "finger" test.
I am really good at overwatering plants so I am tring to lean towards the dryer side :0)
Could that be why I lost my inflo?
I thought I read that Plumies dont like to have wet feet - but with my e/o day watering i do not let it dry out completely.
Thanks!

Bre, why are your plumerias inside? They need to be outside in full sun to do the best and flower well. You could still get some flowers on the inflo. It doesn't look like it is finished to me. A newly rooted cutting will flower sparsely sometimes if it doesn't have a lot of energy. They do look very dry, but I think the problem is that they are inside when they should be outside. I would acclimate them to full sun over a week's time and water them well. As long as drainage is good -- i.e., the containers that they are in have large drainage holes -- they will do fine with regular watering.
Bre....Did you put your plants outside, and did they do better?
