Northern VA Plumeria coming inside

10 years ago

I have 4 plants. I've had them a few years now. They've survived, but never flowered. This summer was their best ever for growth. I've brought them inside tonight, and I just hate to think they'll drop all their leaves and have to start over again next year. The room they'll live in gets some indirect light, but I don't have any direct window space to keep them in front of. Advice would be greatly appreciated!

No problem. They will continue to grow if you keep them under lights through the winter. Cut back on watering and spray with neem oil or Bayer 3 in 1 once a month to keep the bugs under control. I am in central PA and have had success keeping a few of mine growing inside. I do let most of mine go dormant.

Thanks, Bill. I've just been winging it with these guys, but now I think I've kind of fallen for them!
