Mine lost its leaves when it got root rot. The stem was firm but all the roots were black. It's still recovering and hopefully I don't loose it.

hi Kitnor!!!

These are rooted trees right? Newly rooted?

Thinking that hey are, some varieties have different colored leaves, however my JL Metallica has a very unique leaf. Il post a pic for you to see. It just might be needing more light and maybe some diluted fertilizer with micro nutrients. ( Mg and Ca ). As long as its growing and continues to be healty, it will become healthy with proper fertilization and sunshine, watering.. Etc.

I sure it will be fine. I have a picture showing three healthy trees. You can see the difference of each leaf is different and some are dark, light, variegated...

First the JL Metallica

Stay with it.. It will be fine!! I see your new leaves are darker and healthy looking,,, ;-)

Variety is different!!!

Take care,

You must have every Plumeria known. How old is your Metallic? I've been told it does not get real big. Hope so anyway., I see you have a bloom coming. Is this on the Metallic? You have a variegated leaf. I was wondering if it blooms. I'm praying nothing is wrong with the Metallic. Someone suggested to get some Epson salt. What do you think. All in the picture were potted the same day with the same soil mix. I'm not overwatering but since the cactus soil had fertilizer, I have not added anything for fear they are still to young. Just got them in June. Any additional info, let me know.

Kitnor,
I've had my JL Metallica since 2005, and it grows very similar to Jeannie Morange. So not that compact of a grower, but not super leggy either. Good grower and bloomer.

Enjoy your Metallica.
Cheers
