Do you use plumie fertilizer or superbloom? How long have you had plants? If grown from seed, can take up to 7 years and if you don't know whether from seed or whether your plant started as a cutting from a flowering tip, flowering date is a big unknown. You have done the hardest part which is have a regimen to grow a healthy plant. Dont give up now, b/c once they start blooming, they won't stop til end of season

Awww, I'm sorry, Scott, but don't give up! I have been in your shoes, too! And so have many others. Your efforts will be rewarded!

I know how you feel Scott. I'm in my 3rd year too. It keeps me going to hear encouragement from all the cool folks on here.

i knew what I was getting into as far as having to be patient.

But yes,

i do feel your pain.

Scott, hang in there. My cutting took three growing seasons and I am now awaiting my first flowers.

My Plumeria looks like the one posted by Mike in Maryland. It was given to me in the spring of 2014 and was about 5 inches. It did nothing that summer but grow tall with lots of leaves. Over the winter, it lost its leaves. I put it out this spring, fertilized it and, wow, did it ever grow. It has its first flower blossoming today and has about 20 more that will be coming. I logged on this site to see how to cut it smaller (it is in a very large pot and is now about 3 feet tall). The only thing I can think of is that you may be using the wrong fertilizer and you may be over-fertilizing. I only fertilized one time. Also, I had to look far and wide for a fertilizer with a high phosphate fertilizer 10-5-10. I went to www.plumeria101.com for lots of great information.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! I am using a 10-52-10 blossom booster. Any suggestions for something else? I use this on my gardenia, oleanders, jasmines, citrus.... Really all of my blooming tropicals and they all flower with abandon.

Scott, you did not say what varieties you are growing or where they came from. Are they started from cuttings or rooted plants? All those factors make a big difference.

Look to 'Divine', 'Cal. Sunset', 'Thornton's Lemon Drop', 'Kimo', and 'Penang Peach' (probably many more -- others can advise) for eager bloomers at a smaller size - or bloom better in a shorter growing season. This is VERY important and I can't emphasize it enough.

I've tried many, many varieties. I purchased several that looked good 'online', but when they started to grow 2 feet in one season and still didn't bloom -- out they went to the compost pile!

But probably the biggest thing is 'patience grasshopper'. These plants bloom in their own time. You must let them grow. You cannot expect immediate gratification. As plant growers, we must all learn that.

Do not throw them away. If you no longer want them donate! Don't give up yet!

Dave in NoVa... The varieties I have are Celandine and Mardi Gras. I purchased them as grafted plants from Florida Colors in April of 2014. They grew outside last summer and developed into rather sizable plants. I wintered them indoors and they lost all their leaves. This spring, in March, I took them to work with me(I work at a greenhouse)so they could get an early start. They sat in our propagation greenhouse for most of March through May. The average temperature in there hovers around 85-90 in the day and in the 70's at nite. When June rolled around, and cold was no longer a threat, they came home with me. They have been outside since in a very sunny area. I water when the soil surface dries and use a blossom booster about every 10 days to 2 weeks.

Wow! You are giving your plumeria ideal conditions! They should bloom for you within a year or so. Not so sure the bloom booster is really necessary. They will bloom in their own time when each tip is mature. Got pics?

cannot go wrong with FL Colors.

Also, Beachlorax. seedling may take a long time to flower. Just the nature of growing seeds. Some are quick (2-4 years) some are slow (5-8) and a few are beyond this.
