Hi there! Without seeing the rest of the plant my first thought is that it's sunburn - is that possible? The softness could be due to just being thirsty, is the soil dry? I would give it a good drink and see if it firms up, that does not look like rot to me.

Thank you for having a look at it Elucas! Here's a picture of the whole plant (it's the one on the left without the flowers). It may well be sunburn, I hadn't thought of that. But after spending the last 3 months behind glass in the sun I finally took it outside last week. It doesn't get sun until late afternoon, and we haven't had much sun in the Netherlands lately full stop. But nevertheless... do you think it will recover? I'll put some toilet paper rolls on them and give it a good water this weekend as well.

You're very welcome! I really do think the plant is healthy looking at the full picture, you are doing a great job! The sunburn spot will probably stay but it won't affect anything and may fade over time. The hydration should make the plant firm up and be all good again. Just keep an eye on it and look for signs of trouble just like you were doing!

The sun through the window is still not as strong as being in the direct sun so it has to adjust slowly. You may find yourself having to water more often if it's warm. Is your potting medium all clay balls or is that a top dressing? Great idea to help control your moisture there especially if you don't get a whole lot of sun / heat.

Your other plumeria is beautiful and healthy looking as well!

When we first got the plumerias we didn't have a clue and just potted them in standard soil.... the clay balls on top were more from an asthaetic point of view, but it's good to know it serves a purpose too lol.

Yesterday I put strong aluminium foil around the branches that have sunburn, and today I repotted both plummies into an inner container first in a well-draining substrate mixed with perlite. Then I gave them a good water, so they should be happy again for a while.

Thanks again for your advice Elucas. It's made me confident I'm on the right track :-)

Hello ConnyNL, Plumeria your right is a miniature jungle jacks Divine?

Hi Massi. I have no idea to be honest. I bought it from a Dutch grower, and I assume the reason it looks like a miniature is because our colder weather doesn't let the plants grow that big.

The bigger plumeria was grown in Italy, so in better weather conditions (but no inflows yet unfortunately).

Massi: would this picture help you identify the variety? Normally the flowers on this plummie are white, starting off with a hint of orange or pink. Today I was welcomed home by this newly opened flower:

Ok, so was going through the plumeria threads a bit more, and I guess it is indeed a divine (don't know about the miniature). Only one inflow till now though.

Great picture! Consider that a score because it may take a while to get going but usually Divine is a very generous bloomer!! And should stay compact compared to most other plumeria. Not to say it will stay tiny but it will be shorter than most and should bloom frequently giving it shorter lengths between branching than most. Temperatures will affect the color intensity of the blooms, but you probably already know that!

I think that the Divine is the queen of Plumeria.

Very compact, bloom easly, resistant to disease.

Great result, wonderful colors!

Thank you very much Elucas and Massi, I will be looking after it very well :-)

Correction: it is a Compact Pink (I asked the nursery).

I agree with Massi it looks Divine. Here is mine.

here's on JJ's website link:

I guess the Dutch nursery allowed themselves to rename it.

Ok guys! You can name it as you wish in private but that's a Divine ,miniature,JJ collection. A pro seller should not rename it .
