Now it's Started, what now?

20 years ago

I'm so glad I found this site! I have started my cutting, and it has grown a long side branch and had many leaves on it this summer. Now I need to know 1) Do I need to trim it and when? 2) How do I get it to bloom next year? I hope to get a good picture to post next year. Thank you for your in put.

No. You do not need to trim it. It will be going dormant soon and will lose all it's leaves. Do not panic :-) This is normal for plumeria. You will need to bring it inside for the winter as it will not tolerate the cold and a frost will kill it. Also it will require little to no water during the dormant season. In the spring when the temps warm up and the days are longer put it outside in a spot where it will get at least 6 hours of sun or more if possible. Most people start with a higher nitrogen fertilizer in the spring (first number) and then switch to a higher phosphorus (second number) to encourage blooming.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures!
