I'm following this thread as my plumeria hasn't awoken yet either. It has never been this late and I'm worried.

Yes, its kind of crazy. Last year it had already started waking up before I brought it out. I am new to owning a plumeria. I got this from a lady that brought it back from Hawaii about 12 years ago. This is my second spring with it.

Hi Debbie! I'm in central Texas also and you're right, we've had a lot of rain. But the temps have been pretty good so we do have that on our side. When did you bring your plumeria outside? When you repotted it with fresh soil did you notice anything unusual about the roots or stems - like any dark brown ones, mushy, anything like that? And did you repot in well draining soil and in a pot with good drainage? If you didn't see any rot and you have great draining soil & pot, you should be fine.

If you can, maybe block the rain from getting in the pot to let the soil dry out a little in between rains / watering.

My plants aren't fully leafed out, are in various stages of leafage and have been outside since the 3rd or 4th week of March. I think we're all seeing a slower start so at least you're not alone! Good luck, I'm sure others will have input for you as well. Please do keep us posted. Nice looking plant there by the way!

Thanks, I brought it out April 4th. And yes, everything looked fine when I pulled it out of the old dirt. The pot gets great drainage. This sits on our deck at our lake house at Lake Fork. I will be headed down there this weekend so I will drag it under the covering.

Here is the progress of the growth last year. It finally bloomed end of October.

Do you use the fire engine to water it or is that your daily commuter car?

I'm thinking same as E to let it dry out for a week or so and would not be worried at this point. You may get down there this weekend and find its waking up if so just double check the drainage and ensure the container is not sitting in a drip tray.

I wouldn't worry too much, it looks healthy. Several of mine are still completely leafless. Then one day, BAM, the leaves are there. As long as the tips are firm it should be fine. It's been so cloudy here this spring that they're a little slow.

HAHA! The fire engine - man, that would make quick work of my watering!!!

I am in Dallas and it HAS to be a Texas/rain thing. Mine are finally leafing out.....but I was tripping pretty hard for awhile there. Some of mine are 25+ yRS old and have never been this late.

Update!!!! finally started leafing. Now to get it to bloom!

So it looks like it got some frost damage. Give those black areas a wiggle to help them come off. I hope it does bloom for you but it's likely the blooms were destroyed before you saw them in the frost.

It was tucked away but it did get pretty cold for several days this past winter. I tried to wiggle them off but they didnt budge. I've only had this tree for almost 2 years.
I am learning how to grow and take care of a plumeria all from online and youtube.
if it doesnt bloom this summer, does it mean its doomed?
Should I clip the dead dark spots or just keep trying to loosen by wiggling?
